Configuring IBM Java VM to run Mobile Gmaps
I’m using T-Mobile MDA. I’m still having problems accessing the Mobile Gmaps, but here’s the path I followed to configure and run Mgmaps on T-mobile MDA – Otc Wizard.
- Download and Install IBM’s WEME 2.0
- Browse Here , to WebSphere Everyplace Micro Environment page. (you can also browse through here and choose WebSphere Everyplace Micro Environment 6.1 - CDC 1.1/Foundation 1.1/Personal Profile 1.1 for Windows CE 5.0/ARM )
- Register for the site
- Download and install the following file under WebSphere Everyplace Micro Environment page:
- CLDC 1.1/MIDP 2.0 for Windows Mobile 5.0/ARM
- as Executable file : ibm-weme-wm50-arm-midp20_6.1.0.20060727-102926.exe (41.2MB)
- Browse to where the files are installed
- C:\Program Files\IBM\WEME\runtimes\61\
- Find the zip file under this directory: weme-wm50-sp-arm-midp20_6.1.0.20060727-102926.zip
- Extract it, and move all extracted files to your pocket pc or memory card, under a \J9\MIDP2\ directory.
- Files and directories extracted: <bin> , <doc> , <examples> , <lib> , copyright.txt, buildinfo.xml
- Go to your device to where you moved the files, run EMULATOR.exe which is will be under J9\MIDP2\BIN directory
- You will be presented with the following screen:
- Now go to Download Page http://www.mgmaps.com/download.php download and move JAD and JAR files to the root directory of your pocket pc. Under windows file explorer, pocket pc root is usually titled “My Windows Mobile-Based Device” .
- Once these files are on the root, type file:///mgmaps.jar in the url field. Click Ok.
- You’ll see a bunch of confirmation screens. Click ok.
- Once finished, run Mobile GMAPS
- Once the program is launched, go to settings to setup proxy. Enter proxy settings:
- If you see the following when you finally launchg Mobile Gmaps you have to setup your proxy proper:
- Anyhow, if everything works out fine, once you are done using the app to run Mobile GMAPS next time, browse to “\Storage Card\J9\MIDP\bin\” and run Emulator, select Mobile Gmaps and choose Launch from Actions menu.
