MyMaps Mobile ( nearly…)
Sunday, April 8th, 2007Following my previous post on Google’s “MyMaps”, it appears that it’s a convenient way to publish maps on mobile. How: just create your maps on the web, using mymaps, and then kml link can be used to publish it on mobile (it’s onder the meny mytracks->import>from internet and then put the kml link here).
The bad news is that kml link issomething like this: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&om=1&msa=0&output=kml&msid=100794107530973749779.00000111cde574931c1c3
Not so easy to type on mobile. The short term solution is to use something like tinyurl, that can transform this long url into this one:

The result is here:

And the mobile version in J2memap:

Note that filled path are not supported, as well as most of the rich text attributes….
