Are you talking about Virtual Earth Mobile cos this is brilliant. I used to use a version that required a java plug in but I reckon this is better excellent in fact.

This gives a cab file so dead easy to install.

Java version

Sorry if I was a little dismissive re Java version, and as I'm feeling guilty, here's a link that will help if you really want to pursue the Java, Jar, Jad, Midlet thingy route.
Note "Google Local Mobile got renamed to Google Mobile Maps (gmm) and the main Java class is now called GoogleNav."

Also some more info on Java on PDAs here:

I use the IBM J9 java emulator. Works well.
BTW You might like to have a look at MG Maps:
http://www.mgmaps.com/
It can access Google Maps, Google Satellite, MSN Road Map, MSN Aerial, MSN Aerial with labels, Yahoo Maps, Yahoo Satellite, Ask.com Maps and Ask.com Aerial. It's GPS aware (although this doesn't seem to work with my BT GPS) and can access KML overlays (although I haven't tried this out yet.)
Very nice.

thanks guys! a lot of info to dive in, great!

People still use java??? I haven't used java on my phone since I last had a SonyEricsson! I haven't bothered with Java on WM phones.

java and flash are the future of mobiles, they just haven't realized it yet (aside from Japan ) and ajax...

I think the original poster was referring to javascript, not real java code. A lot of Banks and online sites us javascript and it used to be a big problem with ce and wm2002 and wm 2003. WM5 seems to handle some of the basic javascript and then there are several apps for addon such as IBM's j9 or websphere or what ever the name is this year. Also, midlet's are becoming more available

You mean JavaScript? Very few pages use client-side Java and I don't think this will change.

Nope, Google Earth is Midlet-based; see my Midlet & Google Earth -related articles.

Is there any way you can get a pluggin that makes java midlets (J2ME) Work any better? The ammount of midlets that install and then just do nothing is appaling? Sony Ericcsons and Nokia's have multiplayer Bluetooth Midlets that work on either device, why not on ours?? Also one in particular is REPORO (Awesome Program) They have a midlet specifically made for the Wizzard wchic works fine on the Tytn but I have found it is massively cut down! On a Nokia or Sony Ericsson or Motorola (I work in a phone shop so have everything readily available) They can all access the phones contact book and Pictures and Camera so you can send free picture messages to other REPORO users! Now Ive installed all the other brands versions onto my VARIO and they all install fine but then they dont run and crash my phone! Can I get an emulator or a pluggin to fix this?

And the list keeps getting bigger! Awesome software!! (MAke sure you select the O2 XDA MINI S as your device as its the only Wizzard derivative on there.

Install the J9 VM like others have mentioned.
Oh, and remember: "Write Once, Run Anywhere"...HA!!

I love windows Live search, I can't believe somethings better, guess I'll have to download google and give it a spin

cab downloads, but install is unsuccessful no matter if its from the storage card or device

It seems to install and work ok for me from my storage card. FWIW I'm running ROM 1.35.255.2.

I liked Windows Live Search a lot, but mainly because it just plain worked. The java midlet version of GMM was instable if it would even work at all. Google just works better. It also allows you to look up contacts and use them in your searches. Windows Live Search doesn't have that option. I'm sure future versions of Windows Live Search will up the ante and Google will, in turn, raise the bar even higher. Yay for competition.
FYI, I'm also running the SA 1.35 ROM and it installed without any issues. I just went to www.google.com/gmm and opened/ran the installer from there.

Same rom, but no success, "cab installation unsuccessfull" message, even tryng to close ALL active processes

archive corrupted!

Install and all worked fine for me this morning. Maybe save it somewhere first... then try the install? (That's the method that worked for me.)

worked for me too

what about google talk for mobile ???

download the cab on ur PC, active sync and move it to your phone. Their OTA download is messed up.
I tried it a couple times and noticed the file sizes were different. the cab file should be approx 607k. I kept getting 300k when I was getting it over the air directly to my phone.
I went to www.google.com/gmm on my pc, got the wm5 version cab, put it on my phone and installed from my phone just fine.

It doesn't have hybrid map view (streets on the aerial pictures) which Live search has. Actually, live search feels a bit better to me still.

works fine copying the cab over for me on the Vario II, pretty neat.

sure it does, just hit Menu, Change View.
I cant get my Bluetooth GPS to work. After i hit track with GPS, it errors out and brings up some help file and talks about editing settings in the control panel if you have a BT gps, but i have no idea what its talking about.

what the heck. There's no detail at all for Japan, although google maps has the detail and so does the midlet version.
The midlet, however, can't do searches in Japanese which is why I was glad to try out this new thing.

wow, what a great app. i already used the java midlet before but that didn't work so good. this one does! even the satelite view is quite quick via umts!
the install was ok in one try. i used iexplorer on my tytn and went to the link www.google.com/gmm there i installed the cab file.

can someone please send me a link to download a vesion for win5 mobile.

I too have been hoping to have this. Unfortunately I don't think it exist yet on on the WM5 platform. I have so many websites that I wish I would access using our device but just have to go back to my desktop. An example of such a website would be www.fxstreet.com where I want to look at the graphs of real time exchage rate movement. When directed to the Sun Microsystem's website for Java Update, it would simply says that they do not have a version that support my operating system platform. This problem is similar to not being able to directly play youtube movies on the website because their version of flash player is always newer than what is available on WM5 environment.

Because it`s actually a beta (not a trial - sorry, I ought to have used the right word). Java is an external application and I assume either they have to pay a licence fee for it or they know that it already works (hence doesn`t need to be in the beta).
it has been the same for each beta. There should be a trial of 3.3 which does include java.

To be honest i get most sites down but i did a search for java based sites and found sites that would not work like (www.webcamnow.com) just to really test the system. Perhaps none of the current browsers will load such sites, am i asking too much from a small operating system.

Touch HD Google Maps

Does anyone know if the HD Google Maps ships as the version with street view? I've just seen that it's available for WM with Street View (just as per the G1 and iPhone) or do we need to upgrade it manually with the latest cab?
--Edit--
Sorry, didn't see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=457479

The built-in Google Maps is without streetview. At this time there is no WiMo version which includes streetview, so upgrading will not help either. I tried that a week ago, it will install a version but thats without streetview (not even sure if it was never as the rom-built-in).
I dont know about G1, but the iPhone has a specialised version of GMaps.

Google Maps update, as of today I believe, includes street view for WiMo. It is version 2.3.0.9.
Navigate to m.google.com/maps using mobile IE and just install the new version. It will ask to delete the old version on installation.

Doesn't work in Miri's ROM either. Same problem.
I haven't tried yet, but I think we can get it free from:
http://pocketexpress.com/

i dont get what you guys are talking about....its a simple cab install file. Its specifically for windows mobile 6.1. If theres different versions for the windows mobile older versions install cab then go to the www.pocketexpress.com to check which versions they have. the cab i listed is the newest version.

I think the one posted is not for the ppc as only 1.9mb, according the site the ppc one is 8.6mb. This works fine. Here

The European version is not available for Win Mobile - at least not yet. The US version does work, but it only has American information. Also, the installation program attempts to install .NET 2.0. If you have a later version of .NET installed on your device then it will not install version 2. But the prog runs fine anyway.

i mean the sports tab can give you every european futball club information you need with another tab to follow your favorite teams...plus the news tab/ticker shows world headline news so...its pretty neutral when it comes down to it...it isnt only american information.

Anyone having a problem with PE and the TP2 where the text on the scoreboard is slightly too big so it all looks jumbled?
