Accessing google maps without JavaScript ?

I want to write simple google maps widget for a MIDP device which won't
have JavaScript on it. It may also not have anything other than PNG
decoding capability.

What I _think_ I need to do is:
1: Write a custom protocol for delivering data to the MIDP device
2: Set up a gateway site to recode the google maps information / images
into something more directly suitable for the MIDP device (yes, I know
I'll need a key for this).

The trouble is that I can only see JavaScript APIs documented and I'd
really like something in Perl (or at a push PHP) for the server. If I
had the underlying data protocols I could write something myself, but I
really cannot find anything that describes them anywhere.

Have I just got the wrong end of the stick about this, or is google
mapssimple not designed/intended to run on non JS devices ??

David.
