[MummyToThomas&TTC]

does anyone know how to get google maps to work on my 6700

 

[Wes B]

I couldn't get it to work either.. pisses me off because I was hoping I wouldn't have to invest in a GPS program.

 

[GOTH]

yea...i was hoping it would work for the same reason.....oh well

I was able to get it on the treo 650, search for it through the google site and you can download it for the treo

yea...it downloaRAB for me....but when it tries to connect....it gives me a error

 

[o0.yeah]

It won't even install for me now... weird... but when I tried it last time, it gave me the same error when I connected.. said something about "you must have an internet connection"....

I'd guess you could probably find the registry line for the server, and figure out how to access the server using the proxy, then input that addy into the registry line... That's been my impression of what the problem is.

Also, is it possible that it requires java or .net or something that you might not have on your phone? I know a lot of the "regular" cricket phones use java for brew, so it's possible it wants java, but our phones don't have it installed.

 

[Bindibabe]

you can download java.....im going to try it

 

[Deshmiriai]

I was just going to post that I found a thread on ppc6700users.com about this exact issue.. you DO need java.

Let me know which file it required if ou figure it out...I downloaded 2 different ones.. but I'm not sure which is right.
