How to show google maps in mobile application using .net2.0

A: 

I have searched in codeproject and other .Net related blogs. I have not find any solution.

Dude, you don't code things by purely finding someone else who has already provided the solution. I'd suggest looking at the Google Maps API.

There is various controls available to integrate Google Maps into an ASP.net website. Since the Sockets and Net libraries are available on Windows Mobile, you could possibly integrate using the Google Maps API, however will have to build your own controls to display the maps. The API can be found here.

A very simple approach is to use the Google Maps Static API, a HttpWebRequest and Image.Save to download an image of the map, e.g. "http://maps.google.com/staticmap?zoom=14&size=512x512&mapt ype=mobile&markers=40.714728,-73.998672&key=YOUR-GOOGLE-MAPS-API-KEY" which can be shown in a PictureBox.

Late to the party, but you might find this helpful as well:

Should give you a bit more flexibility (zooming, moving around, etc... ) than the static maps API.

Do the maps absolutly have to be from Google? I was writing an application that made use of Live Maps to display maps on a Compact Framework application. When I wrote the app I used the 3.5 framework though, so I am not sure whether or not this will fit your needs.
