Thanks for keeping this app up-to-date. I use GPS navigation software but still find this indispensible.

I just tried installing the update on my WM5 device but it simply says it won't install either to the device or storage card. Any ideas how to resolve this? The previous version was working fine (except the GPS).

Thanks,
Edmund

Please allow this to have a default country set (and a home location that it starts at).
I'm sick of typing in cities in the UK and getting some small town in the US. Also UK postcodes look the same as Canadian ones, but it defaults to canada rather than UK.

One small but significant advantage that Google maps has over msn earth....

How about implimenting a cut and paste ContextMenu attached to the text boxes in Menu -> Find -> * which uses the system clipboard?

Also I'd like to be able to set my default startup location to something other than Redmond.

The traffic feature is nice, but some basic things like cut and paste would probably get more mileage (pun intended).

Cheers,
Chris

Very cool, but it crashes 100% of the time when I try to switch to the Traffic map on my TyTN

When I run it, it says that it requires .net compact framework 2.0.

Thanks for the great software. And the updates! Unfortunately, the Add to Contacts functionality no longer works for me. It gives an error. I'm running the software on an MDA with the latest firmware.

Any way to use the included GPS on our phones in the "Find Me" section? I have an XV6700 on verizon. BTW, this is a fantastic app and I thank you for updating it.

In response to the comment by ppc6700...

I think you should post more information about your phone as it works perfectly on my T-Mobile MDA (HTC Wizard) running WM 5 via GPRS/EDGE...

I've added a "Paste" command to the menus of the Find Address and Find Business dialogs. (Obviously, they will be disabled on Smartphone, since there's no way to put anything on the clipboard in Smartphone.)

I also fixed the bug that caused .NetCF version 2 to be required.

Thank you,
Jason Fuller

Thanks for keeping these updates going. I got lost one day going to an important meeting and VEM saved my neck! However, I still get an IndexOutOfRangeException error on my MDA when I try to "Add to Contacts". This did not happen with the version prior to the last.

Any prospects on:
1) Not clearing "pushpins" on exit? (auto get-directions on reload option?)
2) Textual directions?
3) Subway maps/directions?
4) Metro walking directions?

Very useful. Used it to find a bike shop when I need to get a spare tube.

Any word on GPS Control Panel for the SmartPhone? I have a problem with using a Pharos iGPS-BT with a Motorola Q smartphone. It will hang.

re: Virtual Earth Mobile 1.68 and GPS

Otto Wyss — Mon, 09 Oct 2006 22:43:39 GMT

Yet it still can't access the GPS on my WM5 device and there doesn't seems to be any help, docs or FAQ around.

Wonderful app. Those little devices are finally becoming useful. I'm just as interested in using this as an example to learn from as use it -- is there updated an update source example? Too bad it seems the platform people haven't heard about this .Net thing and the managed APIs are an after thought.

I'm using my HP6945 which has all sorts of goodies including a built-in GPS but it doesn't seem to be available via the old serial APIs and thus doesn't work with the app -- is it supposed to be transparent or does it need a change to the source code? (I'll omit my rant about Bluetooth and modem emulation).

Thanks.

Oh, yeah, one more thing, is there an API for the Bird's Eye view -- seem as if live is requires it for a good view whereas Google has higher resolution color maps instead.

re: Virtual Earth Mobile 1.67

Bob Frankston — Sat, 21 Oct 2006 05:49:59 GMT

Just noticed an old post saying that the builtin iPaq GPS is supposed to be supported -- wonder why it is complaining.

re: Virtual Earth Mobile 1.67

Bob Frankston — Sat, 21 Oct 2006 18:35:58 GMT

Had to get all the settings just right to make the serial port emulation interface work. Layers and layers of work-arounds until your bluetooth in the face.

The latest version seems to be 1.68 not sure how I got this on my PPC but seems everyone here is talking about 1.67.

Feature Request & Bug

Michael — Fri, 03 Nov 2006 02:34:27 GMT

Bug: IndexOutOfRangeException when I tried to save a business search result as a contact.

Feature Request: I think I'd like to be able to save locations independent of the Contact database.

Version 1.64 works great with my Garmin GPS 10.

Version 1.67 now locks up whenever it is trying to access the GPS. I actually need to power off the device to get it reset.

The device is a Motorola Q. I went back to 1.64 and it works again, so I just can't do the business listings.

Excellent app! Is there any chance that a future release could include the option to go full screen?

Would make it so much more useful on small screens - expecially when reading street names in cities :)

It actually turns out to be 1.68 that installed on my smartphone. I keep getting the error message "unable to obtain location from GPS device" but I know it's connected to my BT receiver because I get the connected message. I am using Cingular/HTC 3125. Any ideas?

re: Virtual Earth Mobile 1.67

I have Verizon XV6700. Installed, but I can't see the map. I only see the green flag in the middle of the screen.

Dustin — Tue, 28 Nov 2006 13:58:25 GMT

I just loaded 1.67 on my Palm Verizon 700w with a USGlobalSat SD-502 WAAS enabled SDIO GPS w/ Built-in Memory device which uses GPSInfo to accumulate the GPS data. I'm getting this error when trying to talk to the device through COM0 port:

"Could not open GPS port COM0:. GetCommState() returned error 21"

I tried it with VEM installed on the device and then I tried installing it on the storage card of the GPS device and I get this error both ways. Any ideas what might be going wrong here?

re: Virtual Earth Mobile 1.67

Dustin — Tue, 28 Nov 2006 14:28:41 GMT

Scratch that. I reinstalled it to my Treo, changed the COM Port to COM4 and did a soft reset and everything works dandy. Nice job by the way. This is great.

I am having trouble installing Virtual Earth on my WM5 Samsung BlackJack. I have tried these two latest versions but the phone doesn't recognize the .CAB file as an installable item and let me open it after moving it to the phone. I can readily find it on the phone with file explorer search but again it just won't let me 'open' it.

thanks

Virtual Earth Mobile appears to be dead. Probably because Microsoft has now released a competing application.

I have installed VEM on my pda phone and thinks it's pretty cool. The question I have is that I have my own VB.NET app which stores lat/long - is there any way I can take one of my lat/long data and pass it to your app so it will display a map for me??
