I had to whip out my Pearl and cross-reference to find our actual road location (didn't have my GPS puck with me) in Google Maps.

I second the sentiment that GPS is weak on the N95. Mine took forever to lock in here in norther NJ and in NYC. More than 6 minutes to update my location, and that's with the N95 seeing 4 satellites. I tried every screwy remedy I found on several Nokia forums but nothing helped. Meanwhile I could almost hear the battery life being sucked away.
