Google maps tiles are PNG and about 15K. Both phones do not support PNG and JPG would be 19K-10K depending on compression. At street level resolution (zoom=2 gives street names, zoom=4 only avenues but covers most of Ile-de-Montreal in 3x3) 10x10=100 tiles would cover area from Papineu/Henri Boussa to Decarie/Park Kent and would take ~ 1.5M. So with less then 2-4M in storage, viewing SVG maps on the phone is not gonna work.
It doesn't work in smallest set-up - 2x2 tiles (~300K) on SE T610 218K of memory or pathetic Java runtime - Application Error, thought 400+K jar installs up fine. i-415 doesn't like to install jars larger then 400K and doesn't support PNG. The following table summarize my phones:
| Phone |
Java |
Space |
Heap |
Canvas |
| SE T610 |
MIDP 1.0/no jad |
2M |
218K |
128x127 |
Bluetooth, IR |
| i-415 |
MIDP 2.0/no PNG |
4M? |
1.0M |
130x114 |
nothing |
| LG F9100 |
MIDP 2.0/no PNG |
24M? |
775K |
128x144 |
nothing |
On another note, SE doesn't support jad, so no multiple maps selection unless I use RMS, but since T610 doesn't load even 2x2, then what is the point? Continue hacking i-415 and buy LG F9100.
