Attaching the skinbedder skin here.

1. MGMax.ini needs to be changed to point to the ( StartUp=Run(C:\J9\bin\MGMax.lnk) ) to the correct shortcut.
2. The shortcut has the parameters to directly run the MGMaps midlet ( C:\J9\bin\emulator.exe -Xjam:run=1)
3. Run by clicking on skinbedder.exe file

I dont have the exit button. You can add one by just changing the Keymap.png file and adding an entry in Keymap.ini file.

Don't the up/down arrows work for zoom? Can you post the software that needs to be installed too?

This is a bug with the J9 emulator, I noticed that 400x432 is about the maximum size supported.

Yeah, I suspect it needs the title to be set, I'll add that. Meanwhile, you can try to search by window class or something like that.

Ok.. I am using a 3rd party CarPC front end application to embed .. This app doesnt have the capability to search by window class.

Cristian, thanks for the quick reply.

I've successfully installed mgmaps-signed.jad (generic v1.38.01) to the J9 Virtual Machine Runtime. But I can't select Stored Maps in Map Browsing Settings, with message "Input Error: Filesystem storage is not supported on this phone". I have set the Storage Path to be "C:\Documents and Settings\hchan\My Documents\GMaps\MGMapsCache" (I have tried both "\" and "/"). In the emulator Permission Interaction, I have also selected "If Mobile GMaps wants read access to your file system, prompt me ... Always allowed. Never prompt again (blanket)".

Does the generic application not support Stored Maps? Or do I need to set up something else on the laptop?

See http://www.mgmaps.com/winset/#14... You need to get that library (it's mirrored on http://www.mgmaps.com/weme and install it the Midp2 folders.

The storage path uses '/' as separator, you can use the "Browse..." option to find MGMapsCache.

Do I need to configure anything else on the laptop? Or install another mgpmaps version to make this work?

Sure, you need to install the generic version, not the version for Nokia N95

Umm... could be related to the bluetooth stack in windows (I'm just surprised the com number is so high). Anyway, with Sun's WTK you'd need to set the port as Custom and enter "40" for the port name. With IBM's JVM it should appear automatically in the list as "COM41" -- you need to connect to the port while WEME is turned off, then start WEME.

I can connect from other GPS applications to the same COM port, without any issues .

In IBM's WEME, you need to enter the port name in Windows style i.e. "COM7" (no quotes) for COM7. In Sun's WTK, enter it in UNIX style, that is 0-based port number, "6" (no quotes) for COM7.

Go to Edit/Preferences in KToolbar, or open the Preferences program from the start menu, then go to Security and select JTWI/trusted or MSA/manufacturer.

It definitely works for me, both in Sun's WTK and in IBM's WEME - just that in WEME the application works once and crashes next time I start it, I need to disable GPS before quitting for it to work the next time. In Sun's WTK it always works fine.

The path on the computer is ...\WTK251\appdb\DefaultColorPhone\filesystem\root1\MGMapsCache, so you should put in root1/MGMapsCache in MGMaps (the file separator seems to always be /).

You're right, I searched through the files but couldn't find where is that size defined... But I found a solution - http://www.brianapps.net/sizer.html. I defined a custom size of 400x432 (seems to be about the maximum allowed by IBM's JVM) and I'm using it to resize the mgmaps window.

It's also a good way to check what maps you have downloaded.

Now all you need is the Bluetooth Library and anyone with a laptop can run MGMaps with tracking.

You don't need any additional bluetooth library. Just connect the GPS device to your computer and it should assign a virtual serial port for it. Then start WEME and MGMaps, configure MGMaps in WEME to connect to that serial port and it'll work, tried it myself! There's still a big problem... if you quit WEME with the GPS still set to serial, it will freeze when you start MGMaps the next time and you won't be able to make it work unless you uninstall and reinstall mgmaps... I'm working to find the problem in my code and fix it.

Well, there is no PC version per say, but the J2ME version can be run in PC emulators, like Sun's WTK, mPowerPlayer or IBM's JVM. mPowerPlayer doesn't support stored maps, Sun's WTK may be slow with them (especially with multiple tiles per file), IBM's JVM should support stored maps (maybe with an additional library), but I haven't tested that yet.
