Maps for J2ME mobile phones

You can download some interactive maps for mobile phones with J2ME/MIDP (Java 2 Micro Edition) as JAR files. If you want to download the file using GPRS you have to use the link to the JAD file instead. Please refer to your mobile-phone's manual on how to install Java programs. E-mail me, if you find a bug in the software.

To compile and emulate the software on your PC, you need to download the Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME) Wireless Toolkit.

The size of each software package is mentioned. Note, that temporarily you will need twice as much memory on your mobile, because the JAR-file will only be deleted after installation. You can put comments and submit ratings at getjar.com.

Weybridge/UK map

The map was taken from openstreetmap.org (License: GFDL).

  • MobiNav.jar (191 kByte) Java archive
  • MobiNav.jad description file
  • MobiNav.tar.gz (176 kByte) source code and map-tiles (license: GPL)
  • splitmap.tar.bz2 (1912 bytes) source code of GNU/Linux program for splitting up an input file into map-tiles (requires Mimas-2.0). Note, that you need to provide map-tiles for several resolutions (multiresolution pyramid). Therefore you also need a program for scaling images (you can use the command-line tool convert, which is part of ImageMagick)!

Political world map

The map was taken from the The World Factbook (License: public domain).

Visible Earth

The picture was taken from the Visible Earth project (License: public domain).

Munich public transportation map

The map was taken from de.wikipedia.org (License: GFDL).

New York City Subway Map

This NYC subway map originated from www.nycsubway.org (License: public domain).

Sheffield Supertram map

The map was taken from en.wikipedia.org (License: Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 Canada)

Cambridge multiresolution map

New.gif Thanks to the work of the OpenStreetMap community it is now possible to create free multiresolution streetmaps for mobile phones! Free multiresolution maps is a valuable addition to the worlds inventory of free data. The data is subject to the terms and conditions of the Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike License v. 2.0.
