MappyMobi: is this a joke?
I’ve just downloaded “MappyMobi“, an application from “Mappy“, one of the leading map provider in France….This sounded good, maps, navigation, and much more from your mobile! Great, so I’ve downloaded the app: 22 kb! Waoww, sounds to be higly optimized!!!
So the app start and…..start a wap connection with the wap site of mappy? So the J2me application was just a “platformRequest” to a good old Wap site!
This must be a joke guys….

(this is the wap site wich is opened by the MIDP app!)

I was surprised by your post : either Mappy has succesfuly fooled every people who have relayed the information (and so never test it), or something is wrong somewhere…
After some (quick) searches), it appears that MappyMobi is for the moment only compatible with Windows Mobile and Symbian platform which explains your issue with j2me… To be confirmed!
In any case, the website of Mappy doesn’t mention this which not normal

Yes, this is more a communication issue then. You select your manufacturer, model, then Mappy should just tell us that the version is not yet available instead of letting us download a program wich is just a “bookmark”
