Google Maps for J2ME devices

[Eduardo Marques]

Hi,

I think this might be interesting to some ...

Google Maps now has a version for J2ME enabled devices.
See http://www.google.pt/gmm

Cheers,

I did not check it myself, a friend tried and told its a symbian App.

Still i keep wondering how to do this smooth network pulls.
Usually a small XML pull itself was making the UI hangup!!!
But in this case Images are pulled atleast 2 at a time.

Can some one throw light on, how to make this fast Image Networking happen with j2ME. I have a slight fear that Network Pull over Multiple connections are Speed Reducers for any application that runs in mip2 over cldc1.1.

For Symbian yes ... but for J2ME devices and other configurations too ...

Yeap i hope so.
Never tried with GMaps but last year we had used MGmaps midlet in Sun WTK and it runs better than the actual device .
