Google and other stuff

I have a Series 2 DT that is networked.

How can I use Google maps on my TV?

I have Java, I have downloaded the Google stuff but don't know what to do from there.

Are there other applications w/ HME that I can use? If so, where do I look for them?

Google Maps uses JavaScript, not Java, and is very picky about the browsers it will load on. I doubt you can get it to work with TiVo.

For HME stuff, see http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/forumdisplay.php?f=42

Might also see this (http://www.artfahrt.com/products.html) for an HME interface to googlemaps.

This was where I got the idea. http://www.pvrblog.com/pvr/2005/04/google_maps_on_.html

I can get the application to come up on my tivo, but I'm not getting any map imagery. I suspect the goggle api's have probably changed since the HME app was written. You may have to hack at the java code to get it to work.
