Mobile GMaps is a FREE application that displays maps from Google Maps, Yahoo! Maps, Windows Live Local (MSN Virtual Earth), Ask.com, Open Street Map and other sources on Java J2ME-enabled mobile phones, PDAs and other devices. MGMaps can connect to a GPS receiver over bluetooth or use internal GPS features on some phones in order to automatically display the map for your current position. You can pre-download maps and store them on your memory card in order to use them on the go without accessing the internet.

Mobile GMaps is distributed under the Attribution - NonCommercial - NoDerivs Creative Commons license. You may download, use and distribute the application free of charge only for personal, non-commercial purposes.

Development Stopped (November 27 th , 2011)

Actually, MGMaps development stopped about two years ago... but never was announced on this new page. So here it is, I am no longer actively working on this project. There is a (tiny) chance the project will be revived and ported, but unless that happens you can consider the MGMaps project closed.

I have thought of porting it to Android and/or iPhone, but the work and time needed for that outweigh possible benefits -- there are many apps that provide offline maps on both platforms (including the official Google Maps on Android).
