New Google Maps Mobile!

version 1.7.1.4 nice new look
http://mobile.google.com

Loaded and can't say I see much difference? Are the satellite views now hibrid, not sure if street names were on them before. Other than that I don't see the "new".

new directions view - turn by turn list with option to view map turn by turn
new transition slide to next direction
new iphone-esque plop down of location pin (callout)
new context menu for locations - click on a pizza shop after searching
new hybrid satellite view
new landmark labels in above view
double click to zoom (might have been in previous versions)
more
did you even use it for more than 10 seconds?

ummmm, well... yes, but obviously not enough, maybe 5 minutes. I did a simple search for FedEx Kinkos and I guess I missed the "Plop down". These are all great additions, it was just subtle to me. I've been using Live Search more and forgot the details of Google.
I wish Both Google and Live Search could add a "Heading Up" choice for mobile use and perhaps some hot key mapping.

I love Google. I wish I had held onto what I bought of it when it was $86/ share.
Why can't they add an "Update Available" option as on Live Search?

is the short GPS timeout fixed ?

New google maps - 1.7.1.4 - Get it Here

working great on my Kasier.
Enjoy,

whats the difference with this one?

...but doesn't exist an app like GPSTuner but that download/use/cache GoogleMaps images, and draw on it tracks, waypoints ecc ecc???
GpsTuner can use google maps, but you have to download it with the pc, then calibrate it. Will be fine if GPSTuner download in auto google maps images and draw on it

Looks like they integrated the "find location" and "find buisness" into one search function
The directions overview is different
seems a lil faster, but still no drag and drop re-routing. it would also be nice if the program didn't kill itself if I lost data for a sec
edit: I see this was covered in another thread

If Google would just add voice.... WOW!

Hmm, I'd say yes and no. I had to retry once before it aquired a lock. They've increased it, but it needs to be a little longer for a cold start I think.

Hi!
the previous version put me within 10 feet of where I was standing,
the new version, with my standing in the same place, puts me more than 50 feet away !
I am sure someone into GPS can explain better than I can....

That could just be coincidence. The precision of your location is a function of how many satellites your GPS unit has a lock on at any given moment. To really compare, you'd have to have made sure that a similar number of satellite locks were achieved when the measurement is made. And just cuz you are in the same spot doesn't guarantee that you had the same number.
I guess its possible that somehow the new version is "screwed up", but not as likely as the explanation above.
Oh, and yes it does seem like the GPS timeout issue is resolved or at least MUCH better. I hadn't used my GPS on my Kaiser in a few days, and yesterday, I was able to just test the "track my location" feature in the new Google maps. It waited for about a minute for the GPS to start up and get sat locks, then showed my location. So it didn't even ask me to retry. It just worked. The previous version would never do this.
But alas, no voice feature like in Live yet, but still its an improvement.

woudl you guys switch from live search to this new version?

I have installed and use both. Personally, i like Google's better for most purposes. Its a simpler, cleaner interface, with much less clicks req'd. So, I can use it while on the road more easily. Live is more robust, esp with the new voice and gas features. but it bothers me that I have to tap so many times just to get a map of some place.

Is there any way to have the map auto rotate when you are using GPS so you are always traveling UP on the screen?

Not that I know of, in either app. Only true route guidance apps, like TomTom or TeleNav do that currently...

Hopefully that will be in the next update.

is there a way to download googlemaps Maps?

its hard to search this question, since im including the word "maps" twice.
is there a way to download maps for googlemaps? like we would with any other GPS software?

we download ( actually, generate ) the map from google map to use it with a home brew gps software on the PSP (mapthis ) . Even you can download the map, you need a map or gps software to make it work for Kaiser.

give this a shot
http://www.mgmaps.com/

this seems a bit hard to use...ill keep trying, but i dont think im gonna get far.

Give this a try. I think the author probably had bother with google, so as it is no longer developed I have included a keygen with it.
I've used aerial images ripped with this in Memory Map quite sucessfully.
Mod Edit: No warez on this forum please. Strike 1

Even though it's no longer developed, you still shouldn't include the keygen...

heres one i have used it works great http://gpsvp.garminmapsearch.com/

Miomap (igo8 ) no keyboard input ??!!

I have installed NoThrills_WM61_NLD_V3 rom and sofar so good.
Home customizer installed aswell as some programms like pocket informant etc
All works well.
Now I heard good things about Igo8 and wanted to use it .
Got it and got it working too
Everything works fine , it finds my internal GPS and it get signals from the satelites as well.
But I can't use it because I see no details on the map , no roads or whatever..and I CAN'T tell it were I want to go because the onscreen keyboard doesn't work , the kaisers keyboard doesn't input anything either
In fact ...in menu the route option is greyed out also, can't acces thatone either.
something to do with the map????
Anyone who has the solution for this problem?

What map do you have installed for igo8? if you goto settings, about then click maps at the bottom it will tell you.

Basemap 2007.07
Sorry if it takes some time before I reply, busy at work and all
At first I thought I had to wait for the gps to get a signal but even then it doesn't work.
Still I think it must have something to do with the map since the route(?) "button "is greyed out in the navigation menu .
It the first on the right. next to search.

You need a map for the region where you are. Basemap is not it. Igo is the best software for GPS I have used so far.

You dont have a region map you just have the one that came with the program. Thats why nothing is showing and the search box is greyed out because it has nothing to search. Did you think that it would come with maps for the entire world preloaded or somthing mate lol .
Anyway theres nothing wrong with your igo8 thats the reason you cant see any details or roads. Download the region you need and put it in your maps folder and everything will be fine

Stupid of me ..haha ....will do and thanks
Got the map in the right directory and its working
Looks like you'r right ATVELL saying Igo is the best, like what I see sofar !
Thanks mskip and ATVELL for waking me up lol

i am having the same exact issues. except i think i have all the region maps, in the map folder i have a file named basemap and then also all the US states. am i missing something else?

Searching for applications

Hello. I have been searching the internet, without any luck though of finding the programs i want.
First, i want a program, like ShopSavvy is for the Android, where i can use it on my touch pro to scan barcodes of products and find the best price.
Second, i am wondering if there is a way to have Google Street View on the touch pro. I have already seen KDKobes Google Maps Street View 2.3.1, from our forum. I was wondering though if there is an "official" or "fully working" program, as in KDJobes program unfortunately, location-data support and GPS integration aren’t working with this version of Google Maps.
Third, i want a program, like I-phone has, for Drinks (bartender?), same cool skins and graphics environment maybe?
Fourth, again like I-phone has a program where you record a song on the phone and then it goes through the internet and finds you possible matches.
Please, bare with me, as i a m new and maybe i didn't have enough luck or "easiness" finding these type of programs i want. Yes maybe i saw some "looking like them but weren't afterwards the programs i wanted, cause their functionality wasn't after all what i was searching for and was mislead by their Title Name.
So if you please know any "freeware/ or have to buy" programs that are exaclty as the one's i have described please feel free to post and tell me.
Thank you very much in advance,
Chris

let's see
1. barcode readers:
i-nigma barcode reader
QuickMark 3.3
Aura - but donno if this still works.....
2. Street view is officially supported by the latest Google Maps
http://www.google.com/mobile/default/maps.html
3. didn't heard of such a program for wm
4. i know a program it's called Music ID
hope that helps try to search harder next time

search diamond beer for a drink app that turns your phone into a glass of alcohol , if you mean a bartender then just do more searching also the site Fuzemobility.com is now your best friend go there all the time look at everything there . if you still haven changed ROMS on your phone i suggest you go get NRG's new winmo6.5 build 3.0 ROM . it has alot of improvements over the stock ROM , anymore questions just ask me

Is there an app that uses the GPS to track how much you've cycled and your speed etc? I think such apps exist for the iPhone but I'm looking for something for windows mobile.

gotta love fuzemobility lol

Just giving you a heads up don't go looking for everything that the Iphone has for your phone. Most of the time it will not be there. on to you questions
Shop savvy is a great program. Our closest thing is "Barcoroma"
Google street view. I use google maps from NRG'z Rom and I can get street view on it.
Drinks IDK your on you own for this one
Song recognition. Well try out Music ID works great for me.

Repository
Where does everyone go to get there the PPC software?
I go to http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php, although its not complete list and new releaase of an application can take a couple of days to make it to thier site. I find the site easy to navigate and search. The catagories and rating system help for filtering.

about the drink mix
i suggest watching this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=496880&highlight=drinks
perhaps something will be done.

[APP] JustAnotherMaps -[R]- 16.12.2010 -[V]- 1.5.0.0

Name: JustAnotherMaps
It`s Just Another Maps based on OpenStreetMaps maps data. It does not use Bing maps. This app supports these features:
• Zooming
• Routing
• Searching
• GPS/Cellular/Wi-Fi location.
The main benefit is that OpenStreetMaps have a better map precision and geographical coverage especially in Western Europe, Asia and etc. The trial mode has all features except routing.
This app is built on these projects: OpenStreetMaps, CloudMade, DeepEarth, Nominatim.
Updates:
Version 1.5: Speed up the map downloading process
Version 1.4: Improved multi-touch behavior, added “follow me”, added "route here from my current position", fixed some minor bugs.
Version 1.3: Added a locate me feature and fixed non-US locale issue
Version 1.2: Added a "Locate me" feature.
Version 1.1: Added a "run under lock screen".
Download Link: http://social.zune.net/redirect?type=phoneApp&id=099fddd0-5404-e011-9264-00237de2db9e

Hi tested the test version. Please some things:
Wishes:
- Add a button for center the map to your current position (like in bing maps)
- Add to the test version a way to test the routing (maybe limited to 10 km radius)
- Add a list for "Favourite Places" and a "Home Place" (needed for fast routing)
- Maybe you can get more input here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Android
Corrections:
- If i search for the city "bingen" i get "Ooops something is going wrong. Please restart the application"
- Multiple finger zooming is a little bit slow (hangs)
- Scroll left right with fingers is also little bit slow (compared to ta maps / bing maps)
Conclusion:
Nice work. If i can test routing and it works well i will definetly buy it.
I would love to see your app getting in the future more to a nice little openstreetmap navigation app.

Hi,
thanks for this info its really great that you find a time to add some words on it.
"Locate me" feature will be added in next version right now Im testing it. I will look at scrolling and multitouching zooming.
Is this error message appear everytime you try to search something or only on word "bingen"? On my phone everything is okey with that query as I understand its a city in Germany=)

yes. its only with the word "bingen" and yes ... all the time dont know whats up there!

No problem with "bingen" on my end (paid app).
Sent from my SGH-i917 using Board Express

Hi all,
I`ve got a user that have a potential error on samsung Omnia with routing. If somebody try to use this application on omnia please replay the feedback here. It would super usefull for me because I dont have such device on hands and cannot test it.
Thanks in advance,
Victor

Hi. I bought your app and will now test routing here in germany a bit.
What really would be a benefit for routing is:
- Map targeting to position your currently driving - walking like a compass.
- To add start position by searching the start (e.g. streetname) or "current position" and also to add end position by searching.
- Could you add something like "current speed" at top right corner?
Thanks for the "locate me" ... it works, but best to add a button or?
Btw. I'am a c# developer for 8 years now. Maybe i can help?

Sounds Good! Probably a silly question but If I am in usa, does the tool load the maps automatically? If I travel to south AMerica or Europe is it the same? Do we store the maps in the main memory or should we use data roaming? Thanks and happy new year

I'm wondering when google and ms stop there noncense and bring out google maps.

tested today routing with my car. really: it makes no sense having routing enabled and not moving the map with current location in centered mode. you do not really want the car driver to push every 10 seconds the "locate me" button, or?
another thing is to fade out the from/to location box on top if you start "routing" ...
Looking forward to hear anything new from your side for further updates.

Just bought your app because it looked promising - especially the routing.
Tested three smaller cities in Germany... each time the app crashes.
- Nordstemmen
- Wankheim
- Langenfeld
Maybe OpenStreetMap does not recognize the cities, i don't know.
But why does the app crashes because of that?
Routing:
Would love to have direct input of start and end.
Right now you can search a position, then point at it on the map and hope, it's correct.
Would also be nice if the map turns in the direction of driving (if this is possible)
Can the app run in the foreground all the time?
Rest is mentioned before.
At the monent the app is unuseable for routing.
I can imagine the hard work you had so far.
I hope you can fix the problems and make your app becomming a cool one.
Sorry for my bumpy english...

Nice job, looks promising. The routing feature is a good think that was missing ! But it needs some improvements. The most important to begin :
- realtime navigation : a step by step navigation, or at least (to begin) a realtime update of the position (like said oOp)...
- distance and time estimation when making a route, with options to choose shorter or faster path.

At the same moment it is on the same level as Bing maps:
1. Can locate me but does not want to use GPS
2. When routed and located does not update to nw position when one is moving
Those two things need to come in ASAP, a indicator when it s using GPS and when GSM location would help for now so I could see if GPS sucks or it does not use it. Second point needs attntion ASAP to make it usable. There was no Bing maps update mentioned for january so you are our last hope.

In this version the application does not store data on the phone between launching its a limitation of WP7 SDK.

Hi. Nice work, it really shows some POIs in Costa Rica, my country, not like Bing, it doesn't show a thing!
My big problem is that I can only download free apps from the marketplace or the trial versions. I REALLY, REALLY want to buy your app, also my girlfriend and 2 more friends that have WP7.
Please tell me if there is a way that I can pay you through Paypal and you give me some kind of workaround to install the full version. Please! I can't pay because my Credit Card needs to be from the USA, and it is from Costa Rica. Please help me, I am willing to pay twice of tha app's value.
Regards and please reply ASAP, I really need your app!

Hi,
As I understand you can use your card even it was issued outside of USA. You need to change settings on your computer: Locale, Location, In browser. And you need change it on these sites too: account.live.com, profile.live.com.

Hi Victor, thanks for the answer. I know you can use credit cards outside the US, but that is if you are in a country like UK where Marketplace is supported. In my country it is not supported (Costa Rica, Central America).
I have tried all the things you said but no luck. The only thing that works for me is setting everything to the US so at least I can download free apps.
