Hey, guys, I have a question. Has anyone tried to put Google Earth Plus on their GPS-enabled Ipaq? Google claims that this imagery should work for Garmin and Magellan, but not mentioning anything about the Ipaq:

I have Ipaq 6515 and would like to consult with you before I spend $ ($20).
Let me know
Thank you

Google Earth Plus only runs on desktop (Windows XP) and not on WM devices. You can use Google Map Mobile

by running a Java Virtual Machine on you iPAQ. More details're here;

Or you can try Virtual Earth Mobile instead, perhaps a little easier and it's free;

Thank you for you reply, but man, I am confused! I have downloaded the JVM file, but I don't know which file launches the program. I read the manual, but a lot of this stuff is like foriegn language to me. Could you break it down for me in more detail, please?
Also:
"QVGA MIDP version here, the VGA MIDP version here and the Personal Profile 1.1 version here"

Which system do I(Ipaq 6515) have?
Thank you for your help!

I'm sorry but there is no shortcut or easy explanation here. Your model is QVGA. As i said it's probably easier to try the other product.
