      Very funny. People like me who uses a real GPS-enabled PDA get irrated when my SatNav PDA (Eten G500 + TomTom5) is sometimes not less than 10m accurate. Now Google declared that google map doesn't need a GPS and yet the accuracy is 1000m?

          This application won't work on my Sony Ericsson K850 which is the latest in Java UI phones from SE.

          Anyone have the same problems, or found a solution for being able to use this application?
          It started up the first time I downloaded it, but afterwards, it loads for two seconds, the application icon at the top appears, then everything just disappears and I'm left at the application menu.

          Cheers

            Just downloaded it on my Samsung D900. Works great but you need a huge data plan and fast connection.

                It doesn't work with my 6230. The app crashes when opened. Now I can't revert back to the previous version. :(

                    The triangulation is so old that i allmost started laughing while finding out what a great use it found with google maps!!! i dont know about other countries but in romania connex network uses it since febr 2004 as busola(=compass) connex - it displays on the home screen of allmost any phone the aproximate location ... and it still uses it after merging with vodafone in apr 2006 under the name of busola(=compass) vodafone :)

                      It work ok on my N95, although I didnt need it cause it already have gps, but its much faster to locate myself with this. When standing outside, im about a 100 feet away from the bluedot. When inside, im about 3/4 blocks away. If this get new tech get better, ill sell my N95 to get a cheaper phone.

                                        Works on the Nokia e61i. This is a fantastic app, if it gets to be really good there won't be any reason to have GPS in a mobile = more battery for all :) But in all fairness it located me only I was in the fringes of the surrounding blue circle :(
