Can't download google maps

Hi
I'm having difficulty downloading google maps from the web page m.google.com/maps.
On that page, it doesn't offer the download, and just links the pages where you can search maps through the browser.
Is this some limitation from Orange?

Thanks. I found the problem was with Opera, I don't know why.
It downloads correctly with PIE.
Unfortunately the link you give doesn't work but you anyone else can get the cab from here

its because Opera 'tricks' the site into thinking its a desktop computer so that you get the full site and not some crappy wap or mobile version. In the old Opera Mobile you used to be able to switch profiles from desktop to mobile but I don't see this option anymore....most annoying that these sites don't just give you the opportunity to download the cab to your desktop because
then this problem wouldn't occur.

I thought as much.
To be honest, I would prefer to see the mobile version of a site first and then have the option of seeing the desktop version. Generally when reading web sites on the phone you want to get to information as quick as possible.

OPera on the touch does give you an option for a "mobile view" of web pages - ebnable it under "settings - display"

yes but that only changes the screen layout

Unfortunately Google Map isn't available for my region Hong Kong, the nearest location is Taiwan. So sad, I would love to try it out on my Diamond. Although I do have MapKing2007 installed on my device but google Map seems to be a better alternative.
Anybody can help? Appreciate it!

I read on another thread that you can spoof the user agent by opening opera:config.
I tried changing the custom user agent under user preferences to IE, but no luck.

[Ask] RSS Feed - Offline News Reading Software

Hi hi
I'm quite new with this RSS stuff and was wondering if there're software (preferably freeware) out there that would automatically download subscribed RSS feeds INCLUDING the full content (linked) by the feeds. Basically, I don't want to manually click on the link to get the full content.
Ideally this is what I need:
1. Sync & charge my kaiser at night.
2. At 7am morning (while Kaiser is connected with ActiveSync & Internet),automatically download latest RSS feeds.
3. When I leave home, I'd have my Kaiser loaded with current news.
4. In the train, I would open the RSS reader, and see all the headlines, when I click on the headlines.. I get full content of the news (ie. not just the header/summary) opened through Opera/PIE.
Any helps/comments/suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Personally I use SPB insight, does exactly what you want, downloads the full content and not just a header, spb insight apparently works with special channels, for the full news, so I don't know if your channels would be included, tho all the major ones do.

I use "RSS Hub" - do a search here for it and you will find it. It is free and does what you want.

I've tried it, but as you said, it doesn't download the full news (for the channel that I'm intrested in - NZ Herald), just title, summary, & links.

Have tried this as well, again, it only downloads title, header, & link.. not the full content (what's behind the link) from the source.

Have you tried Egress? I have used it for a very long time. I tried others but always came back to egress. It can be found at www.garishkernels.com. I think you can have it download the full article, but have not investigated the feature.

the issue is probably not with the reader itself, but with the feeds. Most news agencies will only publish the header in the feed because they want the advertising money.
If anyone has recomendations for news feeds that are full text I would be really interested.
I personally use Newsbreak, I have tried RSS Hub and Egress, but neither worked as well with all of the podcasts I download. Specifically with Buzz out loud these two would have to actually access the article to download, whereas newsbreak automatically downloads all podcasts I grab.
Otherwise Ive only really found blogs that give full text, I do wish CNNm etc would switch to full text feeds.
Cheers

Recommendations for Offline News Reader?

Hey all,
Does anyone have any recommendations for an offline news reader of some sort?
The RSS hub that's included on the diamond only seems to be able to download headlines. When I click the link for a full article, it opens up the link in opera and requires a data connection of some sort. It'd be great to have something that downloads the headlines and the articles as well.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You could use outlook 2007 and sync the RSS feeds through Outlook 2007 folder and your Touch Diamond? i.e then you have the feeds already downloaded onto your Diamond. You can then have it so it only syncs the last 3 days etc? That is the way I would do it.....
Good Luck,
Will

Thanks, Will. Unfortunately, that seems to do the same thing as RSS Hub. i.e. it'll only download the headline plus a little blurb. Is there anyway to make it download the linked article as well?

When you add the RSS feed i.e right click RSS feed folder and see document attached . add the RSS feed, press add, press advanced, in the download section, highlight what you want. i.e "automatically download enclosures" etc. Click Yes. I have uploaded screen shots.... I hope this helps....
Will

Will, that's brilliant!! Thanks for taking the time to explain the procedure. It works a treat =D

[Q] What are you using for PDF viewing?

After trying many PDF viewing apps on my Froyo'd Nook, I have still not found one that supports (well) the embedded links or a novel navigation scheme allowing me to get back to the TOC easily.
Im curious... what are you using?

is there a way to do "article view" in DL'ed pdf magazines

Went ahead and tried pretty much every free pdf viewer in the market. Doesn't seem like any of them I tried let me follow the hyperlink.
However. I did find that uploading the pdf to google docs and then viewing it through a web browser like Dolphin HD allowed me to follow the hyperlinks... Not the best option, by any means.
Possibly one of the paid office suites allows hyperlinks. I'd email the developers to make sure before buying since you only get 15 min to return.

Found one: BeamReader PDF Viewer will follow hyperlinks. Go to the market and download the 10 day free trial first before purchasing. Looks like it costs $10 for full version.
Also: Reading the description for ezPDF Reader (only $0.99), says "links" under features. I'm guessing this will allow you to follow links.
Please report back if you try it. I'm interested in knowing if it works. Thanks

I've heard good things about RepliGo. You can see it in action in the video on the cerience.com website (/products/reader/android). The forum won't let me post the complete link.
If you try it, please reply back with your thoughts as I haven't tried it yet.

I am using ezPDF and am impressed, has TOC and functional hyperlinks. This was the dealbreaking feature for me since I was used to goodReader on the ipad - this is almost as good. Any specific questions - jusk ask!

I've tried every one I could find because I'm using my NC to display words to songs during my live performances instead of using the MS Access database I used to use. I've found for my purposes the RepliGo Reader works best for me. Bookmarks seem to work well, you can zoom a page and when you go to next page it remembers zoom level. It is not free but for what it does I really like it.

[Q] PDF files embedded in frames

This is problem that seems continuous to all my android devices (evo 3d, galaxy s2, and touchpad with schizoid) and I was wondering if anyone had a solution:
Is there any way to open up pdf files that are embedded in frames? Thanks
I have tried multiple browsers (chrome, dolphin, integrated android one) with no success.

I've never used schizoid only AOSP, but when I click on a link with a pdf file it's downloaded, then I use an Adobe reader to read them.
Hope this helps.

It is only terrible websites that have PDF files in frames. like this:
ugh unable to post link to it: if one searches on google "pdf in frame" it is the first link.
I wouldn't care about 1990's web design except one website I really need access to won't load!
Thanks!

I see what you mean, ugh.
Maybe this link will help : http://drupal.org/node/
From the little I read, it seems Firefox has a plug in for this. Take a look at it, maybe that will be your solution.
Good luck.

Displaying PDF in frame
Posted by steve22 on September 20, 2006 at 5:21pm
I have all the pdf files in one folder www.mysite.com/images/ . Is it possible that via some php script whenever user access those pdf files either directly or through google, it is opened inside a frame (with my website's logo, menu etc as the top banner above the pdf) instead of opening directly as pdf file?

Opening PDFs inside browsers
Posted by styro on September 20, 2006 at 8:43pm
is a browser plugin thing at the client, the webmaster can't control that. Some PDF readers or OSes don't include browser plugins for PDFs, and always handle PDFs as downloads. Some paranoid users (after all Acrobat Reader has some security issues apparently) might switch off PDF browser plugins.
As for opening in a frame, you couldn't do that with a link directly to the PDF (eg public downloads). With private downloads you might be able to add to the system (?) module to change the download pages to use frames somehow - but IMO it would be a lot of pain for very little (if any) benefit.

With Firefox on Android you can install the PDF Viewer as an addon. This is the viewer that now ships with the desktop version. I've used it before to view PDFs in the browser, its not as smooth as Adobe, but will probably work for you:
