Since 1.1.3 I think the Google Maps Application on the iPod Touch has supported the “Locate Me” functionality. Today was the first time it worked for me! Remeber that I am on a Touch so therefore this is all based upon the WiFi signals. I am thinking that due to my collueage with an iPhone having used it here the WiFi signals that he was reciving at the same time when he used “Locate Me” were logged somewhere by the Application.

Here is a snapshot of it locating me! I’m actually on the right side of the Blue Circle but hey it’s pritty close!

So I’ve been playing with this little iPod Touch the last few weeks. First I had the BSD Subsystem installed, it was quite buggy. Now I have discovered Cydia. This rocks, its a port of the apt package manager and so far everything I have installed has been without bugs! Even metasploit! Now things can be REALLY funky whilst on a WiFi network.

I recommend this to anyone who uses their iPhone/iPod Touch as more than just a Media Player/Web Browser/Game’s Platform.

Cheers,
