Its under the "Fresh" column:
http://maemo.org/downloads/Maemo5/
[install]
catalogues = extras
package = maemo-geolocation
[extras]
name = Maemo Extras
uri = http://repository.maemo.org/extras/
dist = fremantle
components = free non-free
What it really does, when you click the link, is adding the extras repository to the app-manager and select the installation from there.

- Extras
- Extras-Testing
- Extras-Devel
???
I was making the distinction based on Rob1n's post.

What I am wanting is a near instant approximation based on cell tower while the GPS is still attempting to get a more accurate location in the background.

...and use supl.google.com instead of supl.nokia.com as AGPS server; at least for me here in Germany the coldfix runs much. much faster then.

If you add that link in your microb's "bookmarks", make sure you have the ? in there at the end. I believe that will prompt for the site's access to your GPS.
