Required Virtual Earth Mobile update available
February 08, 2006 [General] | By Edward J. R.

The server side interfaces are changing so anyway before February 12 users must update it, but by the way they are getting new features...

Virtual Earth Mobile is a mapping application for Windows Mobile with very good coverage of USA (both aerial and roads), good coverage of UK (aerial spotty, roads good):



... and very spotty coverage of the rest of the world:


(if zoomed too much, then nothing is visible, no details, no nothing)

Anyway: you neeed to update this application to version 1.5 to keep it operational:



If you use Virtual Earth Mobile, you will need to update your app to version 1.50 before February 12. That's the day that the Virtual Earth servers will switch over completely to their new interface, and old clients will stop working. The new version is attached to this blog entry.

In addition to supporting the new interface, new features include:
  • driving directions from the MSN Mobile website
  • WiFi locator
  • asynchronous loading of maps
  • stretching map tiles that are already downloaded until new tiles are downloaded
  • finer zoom levels
  • help page
  • support for builtin GPS on the HP iPaq
