Google Maps in Cyprus

I have been using Google Maps for mobile for a while. Recently, I had to reset my E65 to install the latest firmware from NOKIA. When I reinstalled Google Maps, I apparently got a new version where the My Location feature if finally working (in Cyprus). Interestingly, the results were quite accurate (at least while close to the center of Nicosia).

If you own a supported device (most NOKIA smart-phones are supported), then check it out. Although the actual location is determined by inquiring the cell IDs via GSM, a WiFi or GPRS connection is needed for the map data.
