How to Get Google Maps on your Nokia N900

Screenshot-20100115-182056Yeah, the N900’s native browser is badass enough to actually load the real Google Maps front page, but it take forever to load and isn’t what you’d call “mobile friendly”. Luckily, YoDude from HowardForums has put together a nice little solution that will definitely do the trick.

  1. Download and install Oleg Romashin’s Geolocation extension. This will let the Maemo browser talk with the N900’s integrated GPS.
  2. Download and unzip Gmaps.htm and zoom.htm from YoDude’s compilation to somewhere on the N900.
  3. Navigate to to Gmaps.htm using the N900’s file manager, and bookmark it or put a shortcut on the homescreen as you see fit.

Blammo. It’s a bit complicated, and there’s no panning, but it’ll certainly do the trick until we get a more elegant solution similar to other smartphone platforms.
