What do you do with the information you receive. Do you sell it to 3rd parties, do you sift through it out of idle curiosity?, do you log or store it, and if yes, for how long, what data points do you store, and so on...

No problem for me, it seems to think I live in the North Sea:D

BRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrr it's cold in here!!!

---- Updates ---

Hello Everyone... Finally I am able to finish my first pit stop in this development.

I always wanted to integrate the Local Search that I finished Last night..
And this morning I have added street view and driving to a search location…

The update will be up and running by 8:00 PM (PST).

Now you can search for a place.
Click on the marker and it will show you the info like. Place’s Name.
Address and Phone no.

Plus it gives you direct link to "drive to the selected place" or "street view".

@ the time of loading the app it ask you to allow your location.
Which mobile browser are you using??

I´m using MicroB. But, I see that you have zoomed out the startscreen, which is perfect.

Thanks :-)

nice work.

see if you can get better searches if you were to search by business name for those times you are lookin for something to eat! oh yeah and the ability to view traffic too!

Fantastic app!

Great work! Thank you

and if it isnt mentioned earlier.... moving the map with you finger is done by first "starting" the mouse. -You know, swipe finger from far left edge of screeen into the screen itself.

Hello guys...

I guess there is a problem with My coding or the geolocation of N900.

You have to tap twice on My Location (Home) icon to get your own location.

Re: Customize Google Map for N900
 
This is great.

Would it be possible to add the traffic layer too?

The desktop version of Google maps polls your location every few seconds, so that it follows your position. The button is an on-off switch. Maybe that would help?
It could also solve the accuracy problem (I'm speculating here); during the first poll, accuracy may not yet be very good, perhaps it has only had a network position, so updating would be useful.

Edit: By the way, if I search for Pizza after zooming to my current location in Holland, I get a nice place in San Francisco as a result

Can you try tapping ur location first. (the home button) twice. and than try searching it.

Let me know if it works.

coz the thing is if you just provide a store name. it does not know whaer to search but if it already knows your location it will try to first search near by items

Thanx for the input.

I am working on it. it is easy but I am confused to where to put the button.

May be i'll redesign the whole GUI,

This can not work offline. coz the map data is from google. and it need internet connection to get map data.

The turn by turn voice can be done in future updates. I'll try to test it

You could put the less used controls beneath the main window, invisible at start, and one can scroll down if they're needed.

I am trying to use this in England. I have transit information symbols showing on the map but clicking them doesn't work, it shows bus times on the normal google map. Is it possible to make this work?
