[maemo-users] New N900 user - Few ideas...

[From: Kevin T. Neely]

I'm sad Ovi maps is so lacking on the N900 because it works great on
Symbian.  That's kind of a dealbreaker for me as far as the N900 being a
usable, main device.  hopefully they're working on it heavily, or hopefully
we'll see a google maps client soon.

actually, how well does Google maps work on the browser?  does it know
location?

thanks,
K
