Mobile GMaps
Found this app which really makes me wish my phone was 3G with a bigger screen - MGMaps - it’s a Java app that runs on most mobile phones (those supprting J2ME at any rate) and allows you to access Google Maps Yahoo! Maps.
Runs on my K750i but it’s painfully slow loading the bitmapped images. Once it does though it’s a nice interface. Very useful if you’re stuck without a map - if you know where you are (?)
Now all I need is a phone with 3G and GPS - hmmm. a Nokia N95 perhaps?
Postscript: Following instructions on mgmaps and markus.brosch.net I got mgmaps going on my PocketLoox PocketPC - and in the process got the IBM J9 Java/Midlet runtime going on Windows Mobile 5 - what fun!
