A dump of whatever passes through my overactive brain.

So I downloaded Google Maps Mobile 2.0, and have been playing with it a bit. I had assumed that Google would finally let the Windows Mobile platform view more than 9 waypoints in a KML, you know like Java phones and the BlackBerry have been able to do for some time now, and boy was I wrong. It would appear that Google is still sticking steadfastly to their policy of disabling basic functionality in the Windows Mobile version, as some sort of temper tantrum over Windows Live or something. If anyone knows, I would be interested to hear if the Palm version supports this yet, or if they are still getting shafted as well? |

I briefly mentioned in Digital Gaijin that you could use my KMZ with Google Maps Mobile. There is one minor footnote (or not so minor, depending on your platform of choice) about that functionality. In any version of GMM, you can put the URL to the KMZ into location or business search field, and it will bring up the placemarks. However, there is one limitation. On most phones all the placemarks in the file will display but on the Windows Mobile GMM client, only nine stores will show up. This isn't a problem with the file, it is Google's little way to sticking it to anyone not using Java. The Nokia client can display everything just fine, as can the BlackBerry and Motorola client. Windows Mobile, and I think Palm, on the other hand, are limited by the software to nine entries maximum, just like the older Java client used to be. Hopefully Google will fix this at some point in the future, but for right now you just have to live with it. |
