Google Maps on Nokia N900
the mobile site of Google Maps looks like a good solution until Google decides to release a native app for Maemo and the Nokia N900. Posted on thenokiablog.com

Of course you can do this, thanks man. But big concern should be how to sync with the GPS.
@AndrewNWA
I got my n900 a few weeks ago…my wife’s n97 mini sucks…my n900 is well cool..and yes us men like chunky phones..
can I save google map and then use it abroad..without going online??
@AndrewNWA depends on your needs, i personally find the n900 is not up to par with other phone features, but it excels in other areas.
This is interesting, but will it work as an in-car GPS, updating my location as I drive around?
what for beat is that anyone know that ?????
well… and how do you use the gps with google maps?
don’t think so? i can’t zoom out neither
yes t does support click and location. i just added the location widget to my desktop. its usually off to save power. remember you can use the built in gps or network gps. gps for life for free even without service.
I’m thinking of upgrading from the blackberry 8900 to the N900 but google maps is something I use all the time. On the blackberry I can press “0″ and the map will instantly zoom into my exact location - I’m not sure if the N900 supports this function or not.
doesn’t work for me i tried it but it keep giving me the mobile site to send a text to your mobile.
Id say this video is pretty disingenuous. Its useless as you cant currently zoom out!
is there a way to zoom out using this mobile version?
just got my N900 today and im loving it, cant wait to see what the future holds for it when the community starts banging out programs for it.
@thenokiablog thx so much….really needed a expert advice
@JanisonTV Oh I LOVE my n900. I could’ve used turn by turn when I was in Los Angeles this passed weekend for sure, but Google Maps was just fine. I’m sure true turn by turn GPS is soon to come. I’m slowly convincing my iPhone buddies to make the switch. Heh Heh Heh.
I like this song! Amazing, please give me the name of song o/
N900 rocks
@AndrewNWA i definitely like the n900 better
AndrweNWA N900 is way cooler than n97, infact you cannot compare the two, as n900 is a mobile computer, more than a cellphone.
@Uprock415 You should give the N900 a break, it’s a new device with a new operating system, there will be turn by turn gps, it’s just a matter of time
@AndrewNWA Yes it is imo.
is the n900 better that N97??? please come back on this!!!
thx
Love it. I use using the full site instead of the mobile site for directions. This is way faster. The only thing that the N900 needs now is a full turn by turn GPS, but for now this will do. Thanks for the vid!
