Google maps on a browser
 

Hello,

Is there any browser in Maemo 5 that could browse and function well on maps.google.com ?

Preferably, on Maemo 5, chroot linux solutions are acceptable too. I am looking an option that doesnt require to switch to Nitdroid.

Thanks.

It will be soon here www.flaemo.com, optimized just for N900 and touch screen. I'd like to know really about demand of stuff like that (especially web based) to prioritize my tasks.

Are you aware of GeePS? Not in a browser, but google maps with routing etc. Excellent app.

try these apps from the repos ( maybe extras-devel) :
GeePS
Google Latitude
or try http://www.google.com/maps/m

How do you zoom in/out using http://www.google.com/maps/m in microb?

How do you search a single point in GeePS? Whenever I use local search option from the menu, it wants to calculate directions which I just want to browse around a particular point.

Sorry, my microb can't bring any content after I click the flash object in the site.

You mean this link: http://www.google.com/maps/m
Right?

Same way you zoom on every page in microB. Finger swirl the screen clockwise or volume +/-.

The google maps also work nicely using Macuco.
