Having trouble figuring out how/where to download/install the google maps app. could someone write a quick tutorial, or point me to one? thanks, this,seems like something that could be very useful.

Make sure you aren't using iphone user agent.

Click on Get Started.
Scroll down
Click on Palm OS
Save .prc file where you can find it
Open GarnetVM
Click install
Find saved .prc file and open it
A new icon will appear: "Install Google Maps"
Launch icon
Click agree/ok a couple of times until it shows a map

At this point I suggest you close and restart GarnetVM, otherwise it might launch the install again, and you will lose any addresses you've entered.
When you re-open Garnet, the icon should now say 'Google Maps' (not 'Install Google Maps...')
