gps tracking
the time sync feature rocks - yes it does:

what it does is resynchronize your n900 clock to UTC
because GPS signals contain the accurate time.
It does this when you launch the app (it takes a minute or so).

look up GPS time in wikipedia - it is used to sync time for
the ntp servers that sync your desktop.
it works anywhere you can get gps signal.
I rely on it when I am working in the jungles far away from
internet access.
cheers
