Hello all, Sry if this has been answered, but I miss having Gmaps
I also tried the Gmap website which the Maemo geo locator plug in but that setup something works and doesn't compare to a full blown google maps app.

If google maps isnt coming to N900 what can I use to view Traffic, search for local Stores, and get driving directions.
And Yes I know that Ovi map can do "some" of that but its slow. And why does the N900 have Ovi map 1.0??

Thanks

I have but it has some heavy lag, no traffic, not as easy to get to as a app.

1. Install meaemo-location
2. Put a bookmark to http://maps.google.com/maps/m on your desktop.

You will get full screen map (with GPS location) which is much easier to navigate than the desjtop version.

How do you move the map on that mobile map page? Every time I touch and move it it moves the whole window and not the location viewed on the map.
