That&#39;s good to know.=A0 I do not (yet) have an N900, so this is somethi=
ng I have been curious about.=A0 I mean, I don&#39;t want a Google Maps app=
 for my computer, so I wasn&#39;t sure if the fennec browser would be up to=
 the task.=A0 From what you say, it isn&#39;t, which is sad, but I guess to=
 be expected.<br>
