does anyone know where to find 2.2? all the news sites that have talked about it today haven't given a link to the 2.2 download cab. any help?

i'm guessing you missed 2nd and third lines of my post...
when you download google maps from either your mobile device, either via text or google.com/gmm or download from you desktop then transfer to your mobile device...the version is still 2.1.0.10 instead of 2.2
does anyone know where to get 2.2?

He was trying to help, Chillax.

sweet...thanx so much man, and sorry about my post earlier, how did you find the 2.2 cab if you dont mind me asking? cuz i swear its nowhere (at present) on their website, i'd tried justabout every link google had

id really like this as well..thanks for informing me of the news

the file size is still exactly the same?
in fact i just checked, they have the same version number too..
im really interested in getting this too,
does anybody have their hands on it?

i was just about to ask...maybe my phone wasn't uninstalling 2.1 correctly, because it still shows up as that version, anyone have 2.2?

yeh, the file i posted is NOT version 2.2, its version 2.1.0.10.
Still on a hunt for 2.2....

I just clicked on the "Maps (Download)" link from my Tilt and got a 404 Not Found error. Maybe they're working on it...

can still use this link:
http://www.google.com/mobile/gmm/stp-js.html
click on 'Windows Mobile' at the bottom

This is good news. I'm a big fan of google maps. Now if we can only find gmaps 2.2 ... I know several bb users were able to use and others are having problems with the official llnk.

Yea this is still v2.1.0.10, thanks anyhow... the search goes on....

How do I get there using public transportation?
New! Get transit directions in more than 50 cities on BlackBerry and many Java-enabled phones.
That tells me that there's not a WM update yet. Java I sort of see, but I wonder why BlackBerry gets an update before WM does?

I just got there on my tilt.. no issues. Thanx for the link

You got what version... 2.1.0.10 or 2.2?
Interesting article I came across ..
"Unfortunately, the upgraded Mobile Maps won't work on all phones that support the older version (including my Motorola Q). It only works for BlackBerry handsets and most other Java-based phones." quoted from here .. http://techblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2008/06/google-mobile-maps-adds-mass-t.html
In other words .. there is a 2.2 version but ONLY for jave phones and BB right now
http://googlemobile.blogspot.com/2008/06/get-bus-and-train-directions-on-go-with.html
all it adds is mass transit directions (train, bus, ferry) nothing too huge

Hi I have a silly question to ask about google maps
Can I use google maps only through GPS? I don't have a data plan.

No, data is required for google maps. I think that the gmaps 2.2 version is the Java based gmaps, I think, at least from the video I saw at wmexperts.

No you can't.

I'm afraid not. It's because google maps rely on cell phone towers to update your location. And for it to do that, you need a data plan.
But you have the option of using Tom Tom, IGO, or Mio, etc ... because they don't require a data plan. But these navigators require maps and are not free.

I installed the 2.2 and this is what I noticed:
*NEW "Favorites..." menu option, to allow you add a star/favorites on locations and contacts.
*In "Directions": There is now a pull down menu to allow (current location, contacts, favorite) instead of a check-box for current location.
*It is a even bit more snapper than 2.1 and it has a smooth transition when doing "my location" when gps is on. (Before it had problems recognizing gps is on when doing my location even though gps was on and working.)
-It still reads 2.1 version even when all of the stuff above is added
-There is no Transit option, even in cities that have Transit routes on Google Maps on the desktop computer Internet.
Does anybody have the same result?
Also, does anybody can get Transit, and why in the video they are showing it works. (is official update only for Blackberries like on the video)
ANSWERS PLEASE...

i'm using it now, so far so good, thanks!
Keeps asking me for a valid internet connection even when I'm on wlan. It's working though... I like it
all I can say is WOW... I saw this technology working on the iPhone and was jealous instantly. Now I can have all that too. I love the business lookup. i am forever trying to find numbers for stuff really quick and it is handy to have maps and directions available as well.
ii cant get past the valid internet screen
no more java midlet... i cant wait to try it. can you mark locations and get directions also?
edit:
i keep getting this annoying error...
"This program requires a data connection, and will retry automatically. In the mean time, please check your signal strength.
(Error: wininetReadError [6])"
and thats with an activesync connection
I just tried it, but found windows live search to be better, it seems more complete

yeah i get that too...its buggy, but its all good...seems to pull up maps quicker than windows live, but live seems more user friendly...
I saw my home with this program, is really good, will be great if another gps program(tomtom, igo, mapopolis...) use this kinds of sat maps. Navteq has very updated the maps in my area, too bad that the program doesn't has more options to cordinate better routes ... Thanks for the link! I never used google before(maps, search don't like it), "Yahoo fan" lol..
No way to bookmark favourites that I can see :-(
Back to MGMaps for me which has more features if a little slow in comparison.
Awesome program! Works outside the US which Live does not.
Did you check out Option > Lookup Contact... so cool.

google has always been great on features so im sure if you give feedback about the issues you've all been having they will be sure to fix/implement fixes.
issue #1, connection error messages
issue #2, no saving map markers
issue #3, no best route solution
as far as i know, the program has a gps option but i have no gps device to test it with. can someone test it with their gps please and report back.

That's what I got too. Undeleted instantly. Even without this bug, I may also undelete it since the MS live map is still much better.
i like it, but there's no option to display turn by turn direction all at once. But overall, it's all good.
Hmm this was working really well on my old rom. Today I upgraded to 3.3.0.0 and now it won't install. It comes back instantly with "installation of googlemaps.cab was unsuccessful". I've tried redownloading and running it from different locations but I get the same error. This is after a fresh rom install with no other apps.
!! Dig !!
I dig it, very quick rather than live search, not only that but sat images updated every so often is a bonus. I get the error (using wm6) connection but click ok and everything still loads with no troubles. I give google thumbs up on this.
Twice as good on BA if you ask my two cents!

DeviceID

Hi,
I need a little help.
I've not had my Diamond for long and new to WinMo and I'm trying to put TT7 on it, but I need to get the DeviceID, but don't know where to locate it?
Any help much appreciated!
Thanks,
DG.
If you already installed TT then connect your phone to PC and locate navigator.bif file! openit with Notepad and there you find a lots of info, and your device ID
Also, device ID should popup when you launch the program with directions to activate the installed map. ( at leat with Tom Tom 6
If you had be using a purchased version of TT then you would not need to locate the DeviceID

Hey, had the same problem m8
heres what you do
open tomtom7, on the map in the botton right hand corner is the time and right below is satelite connecton indicator. Tap that and then tap ''version'', also botton right hand corner. And BAM there is your DeviceID.
Deeds.
Thanks guys!
I'm going to try that tonight... hope I don't have too much trouble with it... after readying here, it seems people are having a bit of a mare with it!
Windoze9t8, I know I should be using a purchased one, but after coughing up 350 queens heads on a phone, another 200 on a piece of software if a little extreme! (well, thats the cost on the tomtom site!)
I got tt7, it says its for HTC, hope it works!
Wish me luck!
Windoze9t8 said:

Yes but where to buy TT7?
Indeed you wont need a device ID when you have purchased and or use tomtom maps legally you can see your device ID.
You cant buy tt7 (yet) tt6 will work
No joy with TT7 anyway!
The Home2Go or whatever it is could not install / run after I copied it to the phone? I'm either doing something totally wrong or I got the wrong file.
It was the legal one you get from tomtom website, then you install that and then the maps... apparently!
Any other free apps? I tried google maps, but it uses a data connection and I just want to use the GPS so it doesn't be costing me anymore monies!
Just out of interest (legal copy or not) when I connect to the phone via ActiveSync, do I just generally copy apps there and run them, or is there a way to install them from my machine to the phone via ActiveSync? For TT7 I created a folder called 'Navigation' and put it in there (obviously from reading above, it didn't work!)
If only it a drag and drop hey...
DG
sorry if i am wrong, but nobody here know that the device id is in:
settings/system/device information/identity ? are you speaking about IMEI? isn't this the device identity? i think there is also a key combination you "dial" and the phone will return you the IMEI..i don't remember which.

This is not true. If you'd previously been using TT on a different device then you will need to give the DeviceID to TomTom (direct or via www.ttcode.com) in order to reactivate your maps on the new device. I had to do this when moving from a C500 to an M600.

Click to expand...

The DeviceID is a 'TomTom-ism' - a code that TomTom uses to uniquely identify your device. It must be obtained through some process involving fixed identities of the device and so whilst it could well be derived from IMEI it is not actually the IMEI itself.

Give the ID yes, but you dont have to locate it as the code splash screen appears with the code on - which you then provide to the site ttcode.com, if one is trying to find the code in the bif file then that method is being used as a hacked version of TT - repacked
Although you have the ability to activate TT on other devices every six months TTs agreement indicates you may only use the product once on one device.

it is £50 for the Western Europe version of TT 7.** maps and the application is around on the net.
Dont get me wrong I'm not having a go - just making a point. I am really P*Off with TT as they do not offer an upgrade policy for people who have early version maps like myself.
Good Luck

AFAIK the only official way to get TT7 is by purchasing a Diamond with it pre-installed like the German XDA form O2 (maybe other countries too) then you can get the 7.2 version maps from the TT website.

For the IMEI dial *#06# works on all phones
im trying to install tt7 on my tilt i can install the free one city map it comes with but when i try to install the usa map it says invalid activation code. So, indeed i too need find how to install.

Call for reccomendations please

I will be spending some time in Europe next month and would like to use some GPS navigation software on my Diamond while my phone connection remains blocked.
Now I know what you will say, "use the search!" I have. What im looking for is software not for a motorist but software for a pedestrian/tourist. I am looking for something that will contain top-down street maps akin to Google Maps, only not requiring a data connection.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Yeah, I heard of this pedestrian mode in tomtom, but I cant find any screens of what the maps are like. I would prefer a 2D face down map if walking
In TomTom (at least since version 5) you can switch from 2D to 3D mode and back. In 2D mode you will get the top down view you are looking for like http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v467/jonchoo/961678b0.jpg
cool. Will give tomtom a whirl if there is a trial version out there.
Anyone tried Google Navigator? Ive seen a few screenshots online (looks pretty good) but I cannot find out much else about it

I found a cab file and got it working. the site seems to have the .jad file
It works fine on my Tilt (and it uninstalled the previous version).
Why doesn't Google Maps Mobile have an auto-update function?
has anyone in the UK managed to get the Street View feature working. Ive tried to get some street views of london but I just get an error message saying "street view not available" :-(
no more cut and paste?
dunno if anyone else noticed but there is no more cut and paste with this release / sans iPhone functionality. I may have been in the minority of folks to actually use this feature, especially with goecaching and being able to just cut and paste the coords into the search bar and go..
Anyone know if its possible to have different versions of the same app installed on the same device? I tried renaming the google directory but that disables the app..
Very very nice. That street view is pretty cool.
I have installed this but cannot seem to be able to get street view... is this not available in the UK?

That is sad, cause while you are outside your country, roaming is very expensive, even few KB will be charged as 1st MB and etc...
Navigon is nice, cause working with offline connection, but NAVTEQ map's is terrible for my country, would like some GPS app like IGO which can use TELEATLAS maps...
Hi all!
The new 100% offline version of Nokia Drive is finally out!! :-D Anyone had luck finding it? Have been searching my @ss off but no luck... :-(
/Anders
not true... this is only (one month old) rumor but officially not released yet in marketplace
I think you are right :-( Found this article:
http://conversations.nokia.com/2012/03/01/new-maps-drive-and-transport-in-depth/
Oh well patience is the word I guess ;-) At least they are coming with an update! :-D
/Anders
Thanks for Nokia Drive navigation. I test it and it work like a charm
Nokia Drive use online data just to find the destination, once you set your destination it works offline. For destination set it takes just few kb, so it is ok for me, since i have 100Mb for free!
顶。。。。。。
does anyone know what i says ?
Works nicely. Thanks!
EDIT: tested it a little bit. Data connection is only needed when app is determining the route. Even to calculate alternative routes data connection isn't needed.
Maps seem up to date and complete, but Nokia Drive is kind of stubborn: on my way home, I have 2 highways to choose; as I didn't chose the one proposed by Nokia Drive, it was allways suggesting that I take the next exit to turn around. This happened until half the way until home...
New Nokia Drive 2.0.0 is out!
Hi,
The New Nokia Drive 2.0.0.0 - as it says in marketplace - is out.
Full offline navigation, no data conn needed for route planning as i read it on Nokia website.
http://conversations.nokia.com/2012/03/20/nokia-maps-drive-and-transport-updated-for-lumia/
Nokia MAps and Transport is also updated.
I think we all kindly asking a developer to fix it for HD2.
Thanks
it's already fixed by Chinese friends
