  Google Maps works fine on PPC-6700 using StyleTap Palm OS emulator

Some are disappointed that Google Maps does not work on Windows Mobile devices. I tried Google Maps for the Palm OS Treo's on my PPC-6700 using the StyleTap emulator that allows programs designed for the Palm OS to run under Windows Mobile. At first, the program worked fine displaying the maps, but had a problem receiving live traffic updates. I contacted StyleTap tech support, and within two weeks, I received an updated .exe file that downloads live traffic updates fine using either Sprint EvDO, or WiFi.

Google Maps for me is just a curiosity since I use the public transportation system most days. A killer app for me would be one that gives live traffic updates of the T service, which is Boston's public transportation system.

Update 2/7/07 - A native Windows Mobile Google Maps client was recently released.

I was a Palm OS champion for years, but switched to the Windows Mobile platform in 2005. My experiences using my Windows Mobile devices, and other electronic devices will be detailed in this blog. The posts reflect what I like, and do not like about a device, or application. Your needs, and opinion may be different.
