For a start I couldn't download it from <a href="http://google.com/gmm" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="google.com/gmm">google.com/gmm</a> on my phone - it kept giving me the previous 2.2.0.11 version (which I already have installed on my phone). Going to <a href="http://m.google.com/maps" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://m.google.com/maps">http://m.google.com/maps</a> did the same. In the end I went to the 2nd url on my PC and was able to download 2.3.1, then bluetoothed the jad file to my phone (which worked fine).</p><p>After installing 2.3.1 on my Nokia N95 8GB (which is listed as a compatible phone) it would appear that the 'my location' feature that works brilliantly in 2.2.0.11 doesn't exist! I went to 'help' and was told that 'this device does not support the my location feature' - and yet the previous version did? Huh?</p><p>I now have both versions installed, but the new version seems a little obsolete if it's not making use of the GPS function on my phone? Surely Google wouldn't remove the 'my location' feature from a flagship handset such as the N95 8GB after already supporting it in previous versions of the software?</p>James ClarkeMon, 22 Sep 2008 05:02:58 -0000
