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?

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'

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

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.
