sorry i am testing os6 on 9800 actual device

I am using this basic code (from http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/maptypes.html) to load a Google Map on the Torch 9800:

var myLatlng =new google.maps.LatLng(-34.397,150.644);
var myOptions ={
  zoom:8,
  center: myLatlng,
  mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
var map =new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"),
    myOptions);

The map loads correctly on my device. When I zoom in 8-10 times, I get the low memory error.  The error comes sooner if I have markers on the map (because more memory is being used to display those).  There is definitely a memory leak problem here (note that I have already installed the pre-release fix which did not improve my problem).

Hopefully that helps narrow down the problem!  Thank you for your help!

Hello

You say no problem in device browser or simulator. Can you please test in webworks on device. I am not getting errors on device browser. But same code give error in webworks on device.

I am also having the issue with webworks on device.  I just meant to point out that the same code works fine in device browser and simulator.  Sorry I wasn't clear in my earlier post!  The problem is definitely related to Webworks.

The amount of memory allocated to the WebView used in WebWorks is different than the amount set aside for the Browser... It could be hitting an upper limit or could be something else.

Do you have a sample website or app that we could use to try that reliably reproduces the problem.

Whoops.. Just saw your code example now

Hi Tim,

Have your developers been able to reproduce the "Low Memory" error on the Torch 9800?  I can send you my entire app package if that helps.  Right now, all of the app's features work except for the Map page, where I am getting the low memory error after zooming in and out.  I am developing an app for a big client and they don't want to disappoint Blackberry users by not including the map as it is a key feature of the app.

Is it possible for you to send me the source through a pivate message

Hi, any word on when the new SDK will be launched? I can still only see reference to the pre-release version.

Thanks
