arjwright, i wondered the same, but this seems to have the anonymity where required and doesn't involve signing up for accounts or really configuring stuff, its just adhoc.
you can just put as much or little info as you want and as far/close from your house as you feel ok with
Oh I know; just wondering aloud that's all.
Activities like this is what the idea of a UI is a map tends to foster - and so sharing your location either ad hoc, or in accurate-but-imprecise ways is pretty much par the course.
That being said, if I can wrap my brain around some of the particulars - I'd post it as a brainstorm for a neat Ovi Map feature - and one that would probably push the idea of POI into exactly what Nokia needs to see from this platform.
Sorry for the side tracking all; please carry on pinning the Maemo on the globe
Trying to put my pin down, but every time I click the map it sets my pin to the channel islands (in front of the coast of Santa Barbara, California). I am in LA, but it won't let me add it. Any thoughts???
Pinned. Helsinki, Finland. Not too many pins on Finland or other Nordic countries. Wonder how many N900's one pin represents? I personally know four N900 users (collegues).
Not a lot of french users..
