A few bug corrected:

* Upgrade with new Google maps/satellite
* Fixed a bug in GPX file interpretation (thanks Brandon)

Good news, the application that we are currently developping, based on the J2memap technology is a semi finalist of the LBS Challenge organised by Navtek, sponsorised by Nokia, Garmin, Telefonica.

So I will be at the 3Gsm in barcelona to present it at the final. I hope also to present the “new” generation of application, based on J2memap, and the associated Web Site!

 Hello J2memap folks. Here is a small update, which correct the latest changes in Google Map so you should be able to get back your beloved maps. There is also some minor features, and the integration of the previously described “traffic info” for France.
  You might ask what’s hapenning to J2memap, and what are the new features? Don’t worry, you might have some clues in the near future, stay tuned!

- Google Map update
- FonSearch….(WiFi access)
- Display the map provider in main screen
- Display the type of overlay information if any (like Flickr, Wikimapia, Fon Search…)

Just drop v0.909 of J2meMap a few minutes ago.

This features a couple of fixes, and the addition of Yahoo!Maps…

• The Goto Lat/Lon screen was not working in some cases.
• A bug while display Lat/Lon in the “seconds” part
• Added Yahoo!Maps aerial and map support!

Additionnaly, I have inluced an agent called “MobileZoo“. the objective of it is to create a database about phone capacities that will be used to better manage handsets differences. More about this on a separate post!
