I didn't come across that issue, I'm using Esmertec Jbed 20080428.2.1 currently, from one of GC's Opera Mini java packs. I won't really be able to take a look at this until I get home from work though, around 7:30pm central.

Thanks banzaiwolfe. Works great and even has full screen street view. I'm using Jbed build 20080222.3.1 from DCD's 3.26 ROM. BTW anybody know what the blue dot in the lower right corner is for?

the zip file from the #7 post works. u need esmertech java midlet manager.

the blue dot is for 'my location' which doesnt work on the the mogul. the only benefit of this is the street view. at the loss of the gps i will wait for the win mobile version.

The Cab install for 2.2 works fine enough for me and has the triangle showing your direction.

Also, the app isn't signed, so you might have to approve internet access for it. I'm going to see if an old fix I know of still works for that though. If anyone is having this issue please let me know.

Anyways, the file is attached in a zip. This is only the Google Maps app, you need to have java already.

Ok, I installed the java darkness linked to me and installed the cab you linked. When it "installs" there seems to be no directory for the software anywhere...No icons appear in my programs list, nothing. I cant seem to locate the software anywhere, but yet is says installed. When I go to my uninstall programs list, it isnt listed in there. But, if I try to install it again, it says the programs already exists and wants to overwrite it. I have tried that and still nothing. What am I missing here?

EDIT- I am retarded. Found it, didn't realize I had to start the java app. I just wish I could add GM to my programs list in HTC home.

You should be able to create a shortcut for it. It worked for me. Just like Opermini, it installs to the root directory of Java. The shortcut is almost the same as Operamini but varies with the # of Java apps that are installed on the device. Here is the short path that I have

"\Windows\jbed.exe" -run s1_

anyone have flash plugin?
