And is any one else noticing that starred items are no longer visible in landmarks on e72.

I’m using a Nokia 5530 and find Google Maps works much better than Nokia’s map software.<br /><br />The ability to sync stars is a great concept but I do have a criticism with the way that names are synced and displayed. Ideally I’d like what I see on my phone and on the PC to be the same thing (even if the PC method is gimped because of this).<br /><br />As a previous posted said, stars saved on the phone show up online, they even include the names in the left menu bar, but the stars only show an approximate address on the map. Please consider making this something that will be changed in a future release.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03725033794679403892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1737808092791042537.post-10692740011908597282009-12-09T07:34:53.645-08:002009-12-09T07:34:53.645-08:00The My Location feature is never right.

The sad part is as a Google operating system this should be the easy part but next to a Blackberry 8320 which has the accurate location in the same place this phone is off by more than a few streets.

Google Maps constantly says "Preparing GPS", but never gets to active state. This has been fixed in 3.3.1, but with the major problems in favourites and the lack of synchronization with S60 Landmarks, I can't upgrade to that either.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03296269053378160192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1737808092791042537.post-3996040970355791422009-12-06T20:47:53.600-08:002009-12-06T20:47:53.600-08:00I am using 3.3.1 on Windows Mobile 6.5 Build 23088...I am using 3.3.1 on Windows Mobile 6.5 Build 23088, and I can confirm that, while My Location appears to be accurate, when I hit the blue button to go to my location, it crashes every time.

They did that by sharing favorites through "references points".

I'm very sad to see Google has stopped synchronizing the favourites with Symbian's native Landmarks. This was a key functionality for me.<br /><br />Also, a second thing that REALLY annoys me. I live in Finland where the address coverage for roads is not so great - especially in rural areas. Now I absolutely CANNOT add a placemark for a location that Google Maps cannot map to any street address. If I try, Google Maps will instead move the placemark to the next recognizable street address - and that might be kilometers away! Please PLEASE revert the functionality so I can add locations based on geographic coordinates alone.<br /><br />I cannot understand why these two key functions had to be broken in the first place.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03296269053378160192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1737808092791042537.post-35328914922502978262009-12-05T03:39:23.525-08:002009-12-05T03:39:23.525-08:00Great stuff.
