This program is a WMS client/browser for Java J2ME MIDP2 phones and
it is free to use for non commercial purposes.

The program has a help-screen. It explains the most important navigation keys:

Use the arrows or

1 2 3
4   6
7 8 9

fire/5: zoom-in
0:      zoom-out
*/#:    zoom-factor

soft key: exit map view


You can add maps from various sources. Look at this overview for a list of public WMS servers. Note that you should be able to find interesting servers for your location at other places as well. Google is your friend.

First copy the demo entry with the 'clone' command. (This is not really needed but is is handy to maintain the demo entry as a working start point). You can always use the 'Reset to defaults' command to restore the original configuration, but you will loose all your server definitions!

Select the new entry and change the base-URL so that it points at another WMS-server. You can adapt the X, Y, center and span options at this point but it is easier to navigate to the correct place on earth in the Map view. You should adapt the span values if the image is distorted for the place on earth you are looking at.

Note that WMSBrowser stores all your changes, including the location you navigated to on your maps!

The 'Options' screen allows you to disable full-screen map mode, change the map cache size and in the future some other options for GPS usage.
