N900 Location Widget
 

What is it?

Mine never works, always says unable to download map data. Have tried this stood out in the middle of the road on a clear day and still no joy. I am assuming correctly that it works via the GPS?

Same for me. Anyone got any ideas?

Same here as well, that's why I don't use it...which is a shame anyway!

mine locks within seconds all thoe i use supl.google, not nokia one

Re: N900 Location Widget
 

I don't have a problem getting a GPS lock - just a few seconds to get good accuracy.
It's the Location Widget that doesn't work. Takes a minute (time-out I guess) to give the message 'Unable to download map data'

i was talking about the widget

Re: N900 Location Widget
 

Maybe I'm being dumb, but what's supl.google got to do with the widget getting map data?

Re: N900 Location Widget
 

i am not 100 % sure but that has something to do with location, when i was using supl.nokia , had problems also

Re: N900 Location Widget
 

All the supl addresses do is to store a consistently refreshed cache of the current positions of the satellites, so your phone does not need to chew through tons of calculations to determine the positions of the satellites, which makes it much more speedier.

Widget works for me, though.

Not quite sure why either, it seems work better for US to put Settings>Location server> supl.google.com:7276. UK? Give it a shot.
