Thanks. We are mostly targetting smart phones which run a "full" web browser, minimum screen size of 320x240 or approx.
I have done Google Maps API programming (simple) for desktop PCs, but those maps do not display any info other than the map, plus zoom controls... So, pretty simple stuff. The older Nokia N95 and other Nokia and at least a few Samsung phones do run a website we have built, and the map application I am asking about would jump into a page of that website when a Push-Pin point of interest is clicked in our "hoped-for final product" in Google Maps.
