Re: New N900 user - Few ideas...
lol, I understand that and know it's basically 1.0 (or 0.8 beta or something) for the maemo version. I guess my point is I've come to rely upon it in my handheld and while I can take some instability, I need it to get me where I'm going most of the time. I used the beta on Symbian and went through some growing pains, but it's working well now. I hope the Ovi Maps team can get the Maemo version working well soon. I love the location syncing and choosing different voices.

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 On Fri, Dec 11, 2009 at 2:28 AM, Andre Klapper aklap...@openismus.comwrote: Hi, On Thu, 2009-12-10 at 23:11 -0500, Craig Woodward wrote: There are bug trackers for garage projects, but there's none for the core (haldon?) and it's shipped apps that I could find.

En/na Craig Woodward ha escrit: That said, I do want to make a few tweaks and fix up bugs with the core system, and haven't found a way to express those, or get at them. There are bug trackers for garage projects, but there's none for the core (haldon?) and it's shipped apps that I could find. If there is, I'd love to get a link to that. https://bugs.maemo.org/ Bye -- Luca ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

My biggest issue is that the GPS startup has major issues. When enabled without Network Positioning turned on it almost never gets a lock before the requesting app (Ovi, camera, OmWeather) gives up. On a few occasions I've had it tell me I was somewhere in Spain, which I'm guessing is how an error-ed return is being interpreted. I have a Palm Centro, and using Google Maps with my location (triangulation of position based on GSM tower signal levels) I routinely get I´m near the Nairobi General Hospital, in Africa, when in fact I´m in the middle of Buenos Aires, Argentina, South America. :) I think this has to do with the names given to cell towers by the phone co. When the phone can only see one tower, and if that tower name has been used elsewhere, the map tells you the first instance of that name that it can find in its database.
