"GeePS" yeilds a blank screen on my device.

I am reffering to Linfati's "Google Latitude Updater".
https://garage.maemo.org/projects/googlelatitude

It clearly is a thin frontend to the google maps page, however, that variant of google maps doesn't have the deficiens that running google-maps directly does, i.e. not being able to pan with the finger and not having any scaling.

The "google maps variant" that the Linfati app goes to has these two issues solved; panning works, and there is a zoom +/- button.

What I wonder is, how can I get to this directly, without using this app?

I even downloaded the *source* to this app and tried to decipher what link it is actually going to, but trying to go to same link myself does NOT yeild this extra feature. It's odd, reading the source (I'm a developer myself) I don't see any extra magical handling of neither user agents nor trickery with mouse clicks, it seems a straightforward html page window.... but it gets these features... I just wonder how it does that ... that's all
