Default Virtual Earth Mobile Updated to Version 1.67

http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2006/09/15/757207.aspx

"Recently there was a change to the Virtual Earth server that required a change to Virtual Earth Mobile in order for "Find Business" to work. Attached to this blog entry is the updated version that fixes this. In this version, I've also added support for colored traffic overlays. If you choose "Map Type/ Traffic" you'll see major roads highlighted in red, yellow, or green, indicating how fast the traffic is moving. (Red = 0-25 mph; Yellow = 25-45mph; Green = 45 mph or faster) For now, I expire the traffic data when you exit the app. Eventually I plan to have a smarter, timed expiration. Traffic data is provided by Traffic.com and is available in selected major metropolitan areas in the United States."

The latest version of Virtual Earth Mobile fixes some compatibility issues with the recent changes made to the Virtual Earth servers. It also adds support for traffic information. Best of all, it's free.
