Unregistered gemikon, I'm having the same problem as you and feel your pain. Is there any way to make this remember which internet connection to use so that it will reconnect itself?

I installed this to my Nokia E61i but:

1. The zoom keys (1 and 3) don't work unless I press the blue key as well

2. The Location feature no longer works. Wherever I go, Google Maps thinks that I am still at home.

google maps 3 crashes no my nokia n82

after upgrading my n82 with google maps 3 it worked very fine for the first time. Then it wont start again. I uninstalled it and then installed it several times but it will work only 1 time after installing. Then i will have to run the uninstall install procedure again. I think there is a bug, please help me out.

My issue is not so much about what the likes of Latitude can do *now*, its more about what will happen 5 years from now when we have become completely used to this kind of "tracking" and have implicitely helped by allowing software that does this onto our devices.

There is a big difference between using my credit card and unknown to me (and behind my back) my details being stored, and me spcifically allowing my device to upload specific gps locations, etc.

Don't get me wrong though, if big brother were tracking me I can't help thinking they would be kinda disappointed how boring my life is ha ha ha ha

Taomyn I just installed this onto both my N95 and Blackberry Bold. On the Bold I can choose an option in Contacts to "Show on Googlemaps" using whatever address the contact has - I cannot find this on the N95

Is there a way to do it in S60?

juwlz Besides, you don't need to worry too much. Latitude has been convinced that my partner and I have been in Orlando and Turin today ... all without moving more than 5 miles from home in Berkshire!

sorry to sound a bit attacking, but this is a knee-jerk reaction. if you'd actually used the program you'd see that you can control on a per-friend basis whether they can see an approximate location, exact location or no location at all. not to mention that you don't have to run the latitude application all the time.

if you're so concerned about being tracked by "them", you wouldn't have a phone in the first place, since as someone has already pointed out, "they" have been able to cell-triangulate since forever. i also suppose that you never use a credit or debit card? the number of ways that you can be traced and tracked are quite scary if you're of that disposition. i myself am worried about the problems that RFID is bringing along, but i understand that Google Latitude is simply a very effective and useful tool for a group of friends to find each other, say for example if i arrange with some people i know on a music forum to attend a gig - we can all add each other, and meet up easily.

i really welcome Latitude and look forward to more developments on this in the future.

if you wanna hide from "them", wear a tin hat, pull all your teeth out (because that's how they find you!) and go live in a cave.

Dynite They already can work out where you are by cell tower triangulation.

PaulyLaw Hmmm .. am I really the only one who REALLY doesn't like where all this is going? Maybe I'm just too paranoid but the thought Google / Nokia / the US government knowing where I am (or at least my phone is) at any given time kinda gives me the jitters.

This technology is still in its infancy really but we already have a lot of the software we use on a daily basis on our desktops "phoning home" with information on our usage, is it really a stretch to think over the next few years that the "optional" use of this technology will maybe not be so optional after all, with Google, Nokia able to track us even if we don't want to be tracked?

Not to mention that even away from conspiracy theories of big brother tracking us, I actually don't want everyone knowing where I am all of the time.

Then again, maybe it is me. I don't even use facebook!

Maybe the S60 3rd Edtn version of the software has a problem... any body faced the same?
No problems with installation on my E90. (S60 3rd, FP1)

It won't work if you go to google.co.uk (although it sometime does work on initial installation and then stops), but if you go to igoogle.com/ig it'll work.

There are posts on the Google groups about this.

gemikon Latitude works great on my n85 but I experience the following problem that was not there in the previous vrersion of gmaps: Very often the 3G connection drops and then when it needs to connect again it asks me again about which connection point to use? Previously it was always connected to 3G. It is irritating as sometims it asks me every 30 seconds... I have not changed any settings and all other programs that connect to the internet work great. It even happens with wifi. So i guess its a fault of the version 3. Does anybody else experience it?

Doesn't Work On Nokia E61i sort of

Hi all,

Just downloaded this update and while the location tag works and i can see people, i can no longer use the zoom in or out keys 1 and 3, nothing works.

Any ideas or anyone else had this problem.

Cheers

Colm
