Re: Possible google earth on N900
 

it works but laggy and you cant zoom so its useless

Re: Possible google earth on N900
 

N900 can run Google Maps (not earth) via Garnet Palm emulator - its stable but the only problem is the GPS doesnt work so GOog maps loses alot of utility.

zoom is there on the right side ....... pls check it out

Re: Possible google earth on N900
 

zoom doesn't work on my device, neither the slider nor the "+" sign.

Click on Microsoft Virtual Earth and use Zoom on the upper right of screen. Also, if Maemo Mapper is available for N900 it displays Virtual Earth (VE) maps.

NITdroid is able to run the native Google Maps application. Although Navigation doesn't work as of yet since the GPS module isn't working.

Ehm, web browser has Google maps, and it works just like GE would (but less nimble). And it has zoom via double-click?

Re: Possible google earth on N900
 

I can't get maps.google.com working properly on microB. It never loads any maps or search places.

Works very well for me on an OCed N900. Zoom functions fine.

As for google maps try the following addy.

http://www.google.com/maps/m

If you grab down the microb plugin for geolocation from extras it will even pick up your gps locale etc. Use mouse mode to drag around the map.

Re: Possible google earth on N900
 

Attached proof that maps has:

* loaded
* working layers
* scroll (starts over US)
* zoom (from very high)

I have successfully scrolled, zoomed, used layers, searched, you name it.

MicroB rules.

Re: Possible google earth on N900
 

Is there a way to zoom with the www.google.com/maps/m
version? The volume keys zoom the image, but when you
zoom in a more detailed image is not fetched, so that
zoom method is worthless.

Update - One can zoom by entering mouse mode,
and then double clicking.

The sad thing is that opening this web site and interacting with
it with the pseudo mouse is faster than firing up Ovi Maps.

* Slide pen from left.
* Touch the arrow icon so it stays there
* Double-click with your now-enabled mouse.

Alternately, stop using the /m version. It has quite a few limitations the full map doesn't. Among others, on-screen controls.
