fugot:
would it be possible to make a google earth plugin?

bluebrother:
and how do you want to transfer the map data? Google Earth loads them dynamically when needed (and the complete dataset is huuuge ... nothing you can just easily put on the player). Plus, Google Earth uses the 3D hardware acceleration of modern graphic cards. Nothing a dap has ...

Sambolina3:
Considering that the strongest rockboxed player has a 300 megahertz processer (the gigabeat) and my old computer with a 1 gigahertz processor has a hard time running it without tons of lag. And as blue brother said the amount of hard drive space that google earth would take up would be gigantic.  Good luck though.  ;)

fugot:
if that would be hard would the satallite google maps be possible?http://maps.google.com/maps

its already on some phones.

stripwax:
Yeah .. but .. phones can download all the map information over the airwaves (e.g. using gprs or a 3g data connection - cos it's a phone).  Your regular rockbox'd mp3 player can't, it has no radio interface.
