    Loading Maps to my O2 Orbit

    I am in Afghanistan with an O2 XDA Orbit with GPS. I do not have access to GPRS but can get to the net by wifi and via USB to my computer. How do I get Google Earth Maps to load to my PDA?

     thanks

    Hi Daryl,

    Using Reperion on your PDA, you cannot get google earth maps, nor can you get GoogleMaps.
    The only maps supported on your PDA are : Mappoint, Mapquest, Yahoo! and US Census maps.

    To see Google Earth maps,
    you must have a PC, a PDA won't work (yet) as it's too much of 3D rendering.

    So your PDA is primairily for sending your GPS updates, so people behind a PC can see
    where you are, in the best possible way (Google Earth, Virtual Earth, Mappoint, Yahoo! maps.

    Hope you are not too dissapointed, the PDA is still not strong enough to run Google Earth on it.

    Thanks, that is helpful. Don't worry, I am not disappointed. Hopefully the next gen of these machines will be able to do it

     

    thanks again
