Most of us love the google maps application on our iPhones. However many of you have commented that the radius circle of the my location feature doesn’t work very accurate. The radius circle in my hometown shows about the full town and not the circle where i approximately live. Google was aware of this issue and they have appareantly made it more accurate. The update should be working for the iPhone 3G (gps based) and 2G (cell tower triangulation). The full story can be read after the break.

Maps Offline received a update to version 0.70 today. This update doesn’t seem to add any new features. It does fix the annoying popup asking to upgrade to Jiggy v03 (that doesn’t exist) and some other bugs. I was able to use it very well.

I found a new program in development during my daily internet searches.
It’s called XGps, and the website reveals the app as a Open GPS hardware and software solution for iPhone and iPod touch.
For the moment there’s only 1 screenshot and some very little information on the webiste.
I will keep watching this and will report back to you when there’s more information.

One thing that bothers me though is the fact that the latest update is from late april.. only one month ago..
