Map24 has a nice UI, but search function is only for address, it seems.. but once u r at the address.. it does show POI around that area.. OTOH, Google can seach for Business names also.

Map24 also has a routing function too.. more like a improved Yahoo map's driving directions: for each step, it actually shows it on the map.

I followed instructions down to a T and all i want to know is how long does it take to install the MIDlet, because the progress bar doesn't seem to be moving.

use live search its a much better app

Two other solutions (besides Live Search, Map24, mad4pda, and Virtual Earth):

Google Maps for Mobile for the Treo 700p (fancy Palm OS touchscreen & transparency version) courtesy of:

->I wonder how the performance of this compares to the Java version described in this thread?


And, there's a virtual GPS solution available that should work for anyone that doesn't own real GPS hardware!

Use this for your mapping program:

And this for simulating GPS!

I'm trying it now, but I suggest opening a new topic, so as not to steal this thread.
