I loaded on my 8320 and, without my BT GPS, it gives my location to "within 5000 meters." It's got me located about 2-3 miles from my location. When I drove around town it stayed in the same location then would bump 2-3 miles to another spot. Doesn't look like it comes anywhere close to doing as well as a GPS but it's neat. It will make searches easier as, at least, it will show you in the right town.

However, the rest of the app has been working smooth. The only gripe I have is the Bluetooth nagging prompt if your bluetooth is turned off. Every 5 seconds is a bit much.

Also, I noticed hitting the "Esc" key does NOT close the app anymore. You have to do Menu >Exit. If you hit escape to go do something else the app continues to run and you will very likely hit your battery pretty hard.
