I am looking for maps of New Zealand roads to put on my i-mate JasJam. Are there any available?

To clear up the confusion - Google Maps has been out for quite a while as a WM-native (non-Java) app. Google did, however, just release a new version. It supposedly has real-time traffic information and some other tweaks. I don’t think either it or Windows Live Search have nailed it yet. WLS has more features, but it’s slower, and I have never been able to search for a specific street address with any success - it just pulls up a map of the whole zip code. So I have both on my Blackjack.

I installed it a few days ago on a Q, no Java.

This version is a dedicated, native, installable Windows Mobile app now. It doesn’t need to run as a Java midlet any more. Sorry for the confusion.
