The Bluetooth Dial Up Networking package works awesome to allow my Desktop/Laptop to gain access to the N900's 3G connection over bluetooth.

For a "Mobile Hotspot" Joikuspot style app there are several initiatives in the works now in the Maemo Garage, but nothing that works 100% yet.

I did read that with some extras packages and a kernel modification you can broadcast a mobile hotspot at the command line, but it's without DHCP so you would have to manually configure the IP configuration on any hosts that connect.

Anyway, the progress is coming along nicely so I'm sure we'll have a full end user friendly solution soon.

As everyone mentioned, with hover/cursor mode in the browser, I can pan around and zoom in by double tapping, but I cannot zoom out.

I opened that URL in my desktop browser to test, and I noticed that the typical + and -, and mouse scroll up/down does not zoom the maps in and out.

So what key shortcut/mouse action actually is required to zoom the maps in and out? Once that's figured out then we can find a way to pass that to the javascript or something.
Adding to the end of the URL #II=&z=desired_zoomstep allows you to specify a zoomlevel.

For example:

http://www.google.com/maps/m#II=&z=12

I don't know much javascript, but is this enough?

I guess that could be workable with the webkit app, though is there a difference between loading the whole page and just the zoomed contents (e.g. in terms of power consumption re-establishing the page state, etc.)

No surprises here. Nokia is always one step forward two steps back.

Might be better if you made the code savable so people can just run it off their tablet. I tried saving it to the the desktop and using it and when I try using a local file (after clicking a zoom level) the map will load in the zoom level area and not the main window.

I can do that when its finished... i've found a problem.
Its to static, if i do a search or plan a route and use the zoom, the search or routes will be deleted... i have to find another solution. maybe anyone with javascript skills could do this correctly?

Hi all!
I get the N900 at 14-Dec-09 and I want to use it for offroad tracking. Before it I used Asus696 WinMob 6.0 with oZiExplorer and TwoNav softs that used SirfIII GPS chip. Now, with N900 - Do i have to buy the "Nokia Bluetooth GPS Module LD-4W" device? - because I cannot use a-Gps in widerness? And what about software - do there exist some analogs to oZiExplorer? Or likes?
I will be very obliged for answer, also do N900 has GPS hardware that uses satelites directly like SirfIII chip?
Pinann.

Your links in the right frame simply overwrite the location of the left frame. Solution would be to read the URL of the frame then search and replace the zoom value - otherwise a trivial task, but the browser security doesn't allow your page to access any properties of the document within the left frame, since they're not on the same server. This includes the current location.

A solution would be to rewrite the whole thing and use the Google Maps API, but that's already what twaelti did... http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=33645
