Virtual Earth Mobile 1.64

If you use Virtual Earth Mobile, you may have recently noticed that a few features stopped working when the Virtual Earth website updated its server software.  Specifically, Driving Directions and Business Search were broken.  Attached to this post is version 1.64 which fixes these problems.  I also fixed a WiFi bug that only happened on some models of device. (The symptom was you would always get a "Server is busy" error.)

New features include:

1. Driving directions drawn directly on the map.
 
2. Pushpins! Now when you search for an address, business, or contact, the map won't just be centered on the place, there will be a nice labeled pushpin there.
 
3. GPS improvements.  GPS should work much smoother now.  I fixed some bugs, and added an options dialog directly in the app so you don't need to deal with any other GPS control panel (which was missing on Smartphone anyway).  You will still need to set up a Bluetooth COM port for Bluetooth GPSes, however.

Make sure you exit the app before reinstalling.

Let me know if you find any bugs, and keep the feature requests coming.

    Hi I just installed this, having never heard of it before, sorry.  But it Fails straight away with an

    Exception
    Application::Run+0xf
    FormPocketEarth::Main+xa

    Extra info
    I installed this on a HTC wizard onto the storage card and then onto main memory
    ROM 2.16.9.1 WWE  2/6/06
    ExtRom 2.16.9.101
    CPU OMAP850


    Hope this helps, hope you can advise I'd like to see this working on my phone.

    Thanks

    Thank you very much Mr.Fuller.

    Only issue I have come accros in the 5 minutes of playing with this is: If I set a location as a Starting Location I can not seem to UNset it. In Addition, with this location set anytime I use the WIFI to find me it pulls up the Set location and not my real ( or close to) location.

    Thanks again for the fix. Thomas

    I just noticed one oddity - I've installed it on an HTC Harrier running Pocket PC Phone Edition 2003 SE (I noticed from the menus that you're targeting WM5): on the Programs screen there are 2 icons for Virtual Earth Mobile.
    I checked in WindowsStart MenuPrograms and there's only one shortcut.
    I'm perplexed.
    Other than that it seems to be fine (it's a shame we don't have the aerial photos at decent resolution for here in New Zealand yet, but that's just one of those things)

    Is the source code available somewhere?

    I also have had a lot of crashes.

    First time was just after startup. When I restarted it showed the default map. Then whenever I tried to find an address here in Denmark, it crashed every time.

    It also crashed after I had pressed "Zoom out" about 10 times.

    I'm running on a Smartphone 2003 SE (C500/Audiovox 5600).

    I'd like to see some improvements to the UI (and I'll offer to help as well!)

    * Sticky Zoom In/Out - I found I most often wanted to continue with my last direction (Zoom In more) so swap the menu locations to the left Softkey so it is not hidden by the menu

    * Touch screen recentering/navigation.
     - Either recenter on the touch or
     - Turn the screen into a 4 quad that moves N, S, E or W depending on the location touched.

    Most awesome.  I had a previous version, that was great, this is better.  I have a Dell Axim x51v.
    It's faster than I expected and didn't crash at all until I moved the cache, and even then it was a very graceful crash (good job on the exception handling, Jason), it didn't lock up or even slow down my PDA and the error message told me just what to do.

    I love that I can pan around and zoom with the navigator buttons.

    I discovered two problems:
    1.  When I moved the cache to my SD card I got a black screen (no map would load) the next time I restarted the program.  I moved the cache back and it worked (had to tell it to "locate me" (via Wi-Fi) so that it would show the map). I moved the cache back and forth and kept restarting the program to try to get it to work on the SD card, eventually it did but was quite a bit slower (I guess that was to be expected).
    2.  I can't find a "Smite" command, I really need a "Smite" command.

    Why the name change BACK to Virtual Earth Mobile from Windows Live Local 1.61? Either way it works fine on my HTC Tornado with MAP CACHE on miniSD.  It would be nice to integrate into Live Search Toolbar for Mobile. Now if Cingular could just get better throughput on EDGE.  Or better yet offer a 3G Smartphone and HSPDA.

    I tried Virtual Earth Mobile 1.64 on my T-Mobile Smartphone SDA.

    Your GPS improvements did seem to work on my smartphone.

    My SDA DOES  works with Bluetooth GPS and WiFi. Map loading is quick and searches work.

    I can't get it to work with my T-Mobile Data access. (Which requires a Proxy setting using T-Zones.). Anyone get T-Zones data to update the maps for Virtual Earth Mobile 1.64???? How'd you do it?  (Internet Explorer works great with T-Zones and proxy setting.

    Perhaps this program needs a place to enter proxy settings ???

    Thanks in advance.

    I downloaded and tried this app. I did have one crash early on, but since then, it's behaved fine.

    After playing with it for a while, I decided to go back to the previous release. The main reason was that, while I like having the driving directions drawn on the map, having them written out for me was what I really need. Since I could figure out how to get the new release to provide me with written directions, I uninstalled it.

    Also, I had problems getting the maps to pan using the keys on my mobile device (IPAQ 4705).

    Things I did like - pushpins and reverse directions. There were definitely some nice enhancements here. The lack of written directions was a showstopper for me, though.

    I do not seem to be able to connect to my Earthmate Blue Logger GPS on a T-Mobile MDA. I can connect to Mapolis some of the time but must admit that connection is difficult. I just get a message that it cannot find the GPS. The COM port and baud are the same Com 7 & 4800 for Virtual Earth and Mapopolis. I really would like to use Virtual Earth since I do not need to keep a lot of maps loaded.

    App is pretty cool, but having trouble using GPS.  Pocket Streets has no problem getting a position but Virtual Earth can not.  Is it expecting a specific NMEA message on the serial port? I am using a Windows mobile 2005 pocket pc phone with a built in GPS.

    I just installed this software and found it superb.. I was using Google Maps earlier and I found this far more better.

    The directions have both Road names and numbers which is very helpful. Navigation is superb..

    Overall I would recommend this highly..

    I've been using google maps, which I love, but this program is much better. absolutely love it. Two suggestions, 1st, when getting driving directions: the end point destination is not a push pin showing the points address. when you map a searched business, it shows  the address, phone number and name. when you get driving directions, it clears this point on the map and replaces it with a flag(showing no info). seems like an easy enough fix, and would be great!! 2nd, an option to get detailed text driving instructions like version 1.50 did. having both visual and text intructions would be very convenient. for me, these two changes would make this program perfect. fantastic work!

    The application crashes if the regional settings of the device is set to local other than en-US (french on mine K-JAM). I reverse the code with .Net reflector and change the call to Double.Parse(string) to Double.Parse(string,new CultureInfo("en-US")) so the lat and long parses are now working.

    I have a 1gb memory card and I changed the map cache to the maximum of 99,999kb. I have already 1,026 files on my cache. Now whenever I try to move to a place where I don't have a map in cache I get an error that has this detail:

    This is just a thought, but have you ever thought about incorporating the information that is on www.zillow.com into your app?  If it would be difficult I would forget it, but sense it looks like the same information is being gathered for the maps, it might be easy to integrate the two.

    Just a thought.

    If I could at least select and copy the phone number of a found business, then I'd be able to paste it into my phone dialer.  Just a thought.  Right now, as it is, I can't even copy the number by Select -> Copy.

    I was wondering, if you guys could add support for the internal GPS.  Since so many devices that run Windows 5.0 are cell phones, they are required to have the internal GPS.  I would love to not have to worry about a bluetooth GPS for my PPC-6700.  I have seen some people either working on this, or already implemeting this, but none are perfect.  Since you guys a Microsoft, one would think you would be able to make the best adoption of this.  In summary, PLEASE ADD THE ABILITY TO USE THE INTERNAL GPS!!!

    Paladin27, Although you cannot click the phone number directly, when you are in the "Search Results" dialog, you can do Menu/Call.  This is only supported on Windows Mobile 5.0 devices, though.

    angusc, The app does not require .NetCF v2.  It was written for .NetCF v1.

    Bob J, the mobile operators restrict access to the internal GPS on their phones.  But there are a few models not sold through operators that come with internal (and unrestricted) GPSes, such as the HP hw6515 and the Pharos 525.

The problem is I would like to integrate this application into my CF application, that is, call it and use it from my own application. I downloaded the source code you offer in your offical page (http://viavirtualearth.com/vve/Gallery/VEMobile.ashx) but as you there say, it's not the latest source code, and does not support VE new tile server logic. It's really a pitty! Anyway, I finally compile and deploy the source code in the device but as I expect, did not work. Do you plan to release the source code of your latest available version? Would be nice for all the community and I think all could work together hard to make it even a better product. I'm really interested in getting the source code and integrating this functionality in my application. I need to locate a user using map interface. Is there any other way to show the map-based current location of a user in a CF application? I would really appreciate any feedback or thoughts around these issues. Thanks very much in advance.

    Nice application, just tested on my SPV C600 smartphone, works with my Solar powered BT GPS. The only problem i have that i cannot set the Starting point for directions as my current GPS possition. Would be a nice feature.

    Fantastic app, Works great on my T-Mobile MDA Pro, no problems downloading maps over the network either. I can only set the cache size to a maxium of 10000, anything above this and it gets reset back to the last number. Is there anyway or increasing the cache size further?

    Great App and works fine on my MDA Compact III. Phone has a built in GPS and its good to see unlike other mapping software it dosnt still kick up BlueTooth. Suggestions would be:- Tick list of zoom levels so you can skip some! Use Tick list of zoom levels to reduce cache impact if some type of area cache was implemented. An option to grab a parameter based cache at a given point, again using the above zoom filter list. Cheers Dreador

    Opps forgot to add Id like as others have said to have it poll the gps at given intervals and update - in addition to driving this would be a great feature for walking, cycling.

    Hi, Great app! I changed my map cache to my storage card - now when I exit the app (via menu OR the "exit cross" in the upper right hand corner of the screen) I get an error message: VirtualEarthMobile.exe ObjectDisposedException Control::Invoke+0=40 TileManager::DownloadQueueThread+0 x76 TileManager::DownloadQueueThreadPro c+0xd FYI...

    An option to send current coordinates periodically via http post using GPRS/WiFi connection would be just awesome! Http post settings should be widely configurable. I haven't found this feature in any WM5 software so far, so I'm really looking forward to this feature. Keep up the good work, Jason!

    Tried version 1.64 on my iPaq 6325 running Windows Mobile 2003: it works ok. Was able to work through Wi-Fi connection and GPRS. Not much a difference in speed. I guess the device's ability to render graphics is slower then speed of connectivity. Was able to connect to a bluetooth GPS with no problem The only thing is that if configure a GPS port the app does not pick it up: need to exit and start again. From the second time it works ok. Have one suggestion regarding a Find address dialog: it would be nice to have a dropdown list with previously entered addresses in order to save time entering them again. Also it would be nice to add and save your own pushpins. Found an unhandled exception: if you click a Set asStarting Location or Set as Destination before your search for an address the app breaks with something like null reference. My guess is that this is because the coorditaes are not set yet. Also after you set up a GPS port and next time you start the app without GPS it shoes an error dialogue that it could not connect to the specific COM port. I don't see the point here: if the GPS is not available why bother to open up an error dialogue? In general the app is great and thanks a lot for making it publicly available.

    Hi, I'm running virtual earth 1.68 on my newly upgraded WM6 Dash smartphone. It kina works, but often gives an error (at System.Number.ParseDouble) whenever doing any type of search. Is an update forthcoming to fix this issue?

    Hello Jason, I am trying to implement a location tracking device using Windows Mobile 6.  It will be receiving incoming latitude and longitude coordinates SMS.  It will take these infos and display it on a map in my Handset.  Can Virtual Earth Mobile be used for this?  Can we use VS2008 to write codes for Virtual Earth Mobile in this application?
