For those of us who still want to update their location from the N900, google.com/latitude works fine. You just need to allow it access to the geolocation API.

Hi, can you estimate how long it will take to update the Google Latitude application?
Thanks!

After deleting that file, it still didn't do anything about my location... It took me a while to figure out that at some point I had deinstalled microb-geolocation as I thought I didn't need it anymore
Now it's working again!

I played around with the new api for a while and found a way to update my location. Someting like:
Although I didn't poke around from where to get proper value for that X-ManualHeader. (I got it by sniffing traffic what the web browser made...)
With proper manualheader value this script should work: http://aketzu.net/~akolehma/latitude-updater.py
Code:
headers = [('X-ManualHeader', '{insert more cryptic string here}')]
qs = '[null,null,[null,[null,%f,%f],null,null,[],%f,"sensor_other","UserLocationFrontend",null,%d,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,[]],false]' % (lat*10000000,lng*10000000,acc,(int)(time.time()*1000))
open("https://www.google.com/latitude/b/0/apps/ssjson?t=UPDATE_USER_LOCATION_REQUEST", qs)
With proper manualheader value this script should work: http://aketzu.net/~akolehma/latitude-updater.py

Well, updated my script (http://aketzu.net/~akolehma/latitude-updater.py) to use Google API Client for Python. Works for me at least.
