- Download and install Oleg Romashin’s Geolocation extension. This will let the Maemo browser talk with the N900’s integrated GPS.
- Download and unzip Gmaps.htm and zoom.htm from YoDude’s compilation to somewhere on the N900.
- 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.
