Guest nforsans Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 I've been using virtual earth mobile on my Vario II but there is a big problem: try searching for an address, say for example cromer terrace in Leeds (UK) and VEM will zoom in to a US place that has "cromer" or "terrace" in its name. Although most contacts of mine are based in the UK, when using the automatic pinpointing of these on Virtual earth Mobile, none were located correctly (i.e. all in the US). Am I doing something wrong?!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mwright Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 r Am I doing something wrong?!! You have to coax it a bit. I just searched for "cromer terrace,Leeds,UK" - note the commas - and it went straight there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Matt Kirby Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 I've given up with Virtual Earth, you're better off using Map24 (download fom map24.com). It's quicker, only covers Europe so won't show you random US places, and has a more effective search. Doesn't do satalite images though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a play with most of the free map applications and would rank them thus: Map24 - fast (even over GPRS) and only occasional odd search results Google Mobile - just about usable but slow and a horrible interface MGMaps - slow, buggy Virtual Earth Mobile - impossible to use over GPRS, barely useable with 3G I'll stick to Map24 and use Multimap over the web if I want satelite images for now.

Guest tsutton Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 Maybe I'm being stupid but I can't find a way to download map24 for my phone? I've registered an account, what now? Their website is confusing. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
