You can do this by storing the data in the jar. Dynamically storing in
a j2me app is nontrivial if you want it to work on all phones, maybe
there is better support nowdays but three years ago it was horrible.
So internet access is the best crossplatform way of getting data to
j2me, or just store it statically in the jar file.

I pay ~1euro /MB which makes Google maps j2me app[1] pretty cheap, it
is usually 200KB per session. Which isn't going to work for
surveying.. :-)
