That must have been what Napoleon felt like.

A better way for me was to make two HTM files and save them in the same directory on my N900. I then keep a bookmark to it on my desktop.

(you do need Maemo GeoLacocation 1.1.3 found in Extras-Devel for this webpage to work)

Try this for "Gmaps.htm"...
( Copy and paste the code into a new text file then change the extention from txt to htm )

Code:
<html>

<head>
<title>Google Maps N900</title>
</head>

<frameset cols="*,76">
  <frame name="Links" src="http://www.google.com/maps/m">
  <frame name="Rechts" src="zoom.htm" scrolling="no" target="Links">
  <noframes>
  <body>

  </body>
  </noframes>
</frameset>

</html>
And then this tweaked "zoom.htm"...
( Copy and paste the code into a new text file then change the extention from txt to htm )

Code:
<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="de-at">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>Google Maps Zoom</title>
<base target="Links">
</head>

<body link="#FFFFFF" vlink="#FFFFFF" alink="#FF0000" text="#FFFFFF" bgcolor="#000000">

<p align="center">

<b>

<font size="6">

Don't forget to put them in the same directory on your N900.
