hi, i followed the steps and it did work and its quiet accurate :)
but for some reason,after i got google maps to work and after i rebooted it ,my n900 wouldnt connect to internet,thru connectWap nor Wireless. Im nt sure if there r certain settings to be changed ( which i doubt that needs to be done ) or the geolocation ext caused it to happen.
Has this happened to any1 else ? Or do you have any solutions for this ?
is there a way to drag the map going to the left or right to see the extension of the vicinity? please help. thanks. happy new year 2011!
