KMaps Installation

From Kmaps

[edit]

IMPORTANT!!! READ THIS IF YOU ARE UPGRADING FROM PRE 1.5 VERSION

If you have KMaps pre 1.5 version installed on your device, you will HAVE TO DELETE KMaps first. Delete KMaps the same way you are deleting any other application. In other words you will have to start from the scratch including the registration. You may use the same email and password you used to register with KMaps initially.

Also, if you have SD card, you will HAVE TO DELETE "gmaps" folder on SD card since the previous map image handling is not compatible with 1.5 version. After you delete KMaps from your device and gmaps folder from your SD, you can scroll down and download KMaps_1_5.zip. You only need to run KMaps.prc to install, since you already have the other 2 prc files installed.

Installation

KMaps is Java mobile application so you need to have Java (J2ME) installed on your device. If you don't have Java installed on your device, you will have to install IBM Java that is recommended by Palm.

IBM Java implementation, WebSphere Everyplace Micro Environment is available at no cost to customers who purchased a Treo 650 smartphone and a Tungsten T5 handheld handheld. Other customers with supported devices can purchase IBM WebSphere Everyplace Micro Environment at Software Connection for $5.99.

Go to [Palm Java Site], fill in the form, select your device and download WEME571.zip and follow the installation instructions (they are fairly simple).

Once you installed Java, go to your "Prefs" where you will find a new "IBM and Java" section. Tap it and under Global Preferences change the Memory Heap Size and Thread Stack Size to maximum. Also, make sure that high resolution checkbox and double buffering checkbox are checked.

After you installed and configured Java, you can proceed to download KMaps Zip. It contains 3 prc files. Install them all...

Java takes a lot of precious RAM?
