Ok, just saw this on mobilecrunch, here's the direct link to the Windows Live:

The cab file is just 347k, and as far as I can tell (which isn't saying much since I just installed it), but it does everything that Google Maps for Mobile or Map4PDA, but much smaller footprint.

It's not GPS enabled though - sheureka

After installing google mail and google maps, is there a way to directly launch the applications aside from opening up the midlet and selecting launch?

Just installed it. Very nice. Thanks

This is awesome! I love this group!

This program is awesome. Thanks for the info. Why bother with all that other crap when this does exactly what i want and took not even 5 min to download and setup.

Yes, you need to create a shortcut icon and have it point to the following (this will work in Total Commander ONLY):

\Storage Card\Program Files\J9\MIDP20\bin\emulator.exe" "-Xdescriptor:\gmaps.jad" "-Xjam:run=1

If you are using some other file explorer, I do not know the proper syntax, but you may need a " at the beginning and at the end.

This assumes the Java runtime at
\Storage Card\Program Files\J9\MIDP20\bin\emulator.exe

This assumes the gmaps.jad file is at
\gmaps.jad

Hope this helps a little. I don't know much else, as I set this up a long time ago and haven't tinkered with it since.

Also, I think if you want to do another program, you change -Xjam:run=2, but I am somewhat guessing on this too.

Awesome thread!

I hate the fact that it takes registration at IBM and digging down to get the right download (CLDC 1.1/MIDP 2.0 for Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone Edition/ARM). My MiniSD card slot on my phone is messed up, so I ended up placing mine on directly on the phone's memory. If anyone is interested, email me and I'll be happy to send them the bin & lib folders directly.

To get around having to use any 3rd party apps for a shortcut, I basically took the PMH Regedit icon, throwing it in notepad on my laptop, modifying the path to run the .jad (38#"\Program Files\J9\MIDP20\BIN\EMULATOR.EXE" -Xjam:run=1), and placing it back on the phone under Windows\Start Menu Programs.
