How do you know I have a Phd :) ? YUP, I was a chemistry associate professor in my previous life.

I hope you mean the upgrade PR1.2, as the googlemaps thing is super easy, once one got a hold of the .prc. The upgrade PR1.2 is NOT easy for some people, I have tried ALL suggestions in this forum and failed one way or the other, until I tried this one and made it, http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...743#post692743, thread #17. This is sad for someone has been upgrade since 770 :(

me bad....I miss understood you. The PR1.2 is the OS on your tablet. For the GVM, you pick os2009 for N900, os2008 for N8x0, and likely os2007 for 770. If in doubt, on your tablet, go setting>about product will tell you your os.

Umm......I dont think so. It is the regular google maps for palm, it is NOT a port. I found it useful.

1) link location to your contact list
2) 1000X faster, especially when zooming, 1000X save on data use, 1000X save on your minute, 1000X save on your pocket (Dont take this too serious :) )
3) dedicated map use versus a web browser, in general
4) multilingual without having to install a language pack

Just off my head.
