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.

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...
Hi,
I am trying to find a good facebook application for my new Diamond. On my Trinity I used the FrindsMobilzer application, but I cannot get that one to start at my Diamond (might be because it only works on english wm). I also tried snap2face, but the fonts and buttons are made to be small on a qvga and hence very very small on the diamond screen.
Any recommendations for facebook apps?
not sure of a vga app out there as of yet - i just browse on m.facebook.com or iphone.facebook.com i prefer the iphone one but no facility to poke on it

And FriendMobilizer is just a web browser component in an application, useless if you ask me.

Snap2Face is coming a long way. I have been exchanging emails with the developer offering suggestions
snap2face is working fine on my ignito
what about Fring.com?
I have used Snap2Face and Friendmobilizer and they both have their merits.
Freindmobilzer, in my opinion, has a nicer interface and displays changes to friends accounts in a better way (I think just by using the news feed which you normally get when you log into Facebook) but Snap2Face has better features i.e. being able to write on a friends wall when responding to a post on your wall, and being able to upload photos.
I would love to see some sort of hybrid version of the two. Maybe with Friendmobilizers look (I think it is just a browser view but might be able to be replicated in a programme) and Snap2Faces functionality.
One problem I have now found though with Snap2Face is that if you have your Diamond plugged into your computer either to charge, like I normally do when at work, or any other reason which means the internal storage is not visable to the device Snap2Face sets up its own file called 'Internal Storage' to save its cache too. When you then disconnect the diamond the internal storage then comes back as 'Internal Storage2' which means any programmes i.e. camara and music player can't find anything they are linked two. I think this is only a problem though if you have installed Snap2face to the internal memory.
Just so you're aware the developers of Snap2Face recommend not using IE to access facebook with their program installed as it causes Snap2Face some issues. Mobilizer uses IE and I've found mixing the two renders the messaging part of Snap useless and it refuses to synch upwards any messages I send - it says they have gone but they haven't and at the facebook end they don't appear. It's a known issue apparently.

facebook from microsoft
you can try this application: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/facebook.mspx. it's also on the facebook site, so is something like an official application.
I had found this pretty cool GPS tool (www.terracrosser.com), yet it's zooming does not work on HTC Diamond. I had tried to modify registry fot scrolling wheel, but I was only able to scroll the map up and down, not to zoom.
Any help would be great.
Here is the way to registry:
HKLM/Software/HTC/SmartTouch/Terracrosser/
classname (string): #NETCF_AGL_BASE_
Mode (dword): 4
WheelCount (dword): 2
The website contains little to no information.
What does this app do?
How does it differ to Google maps?
Can it grab a map of Paris for me for me to use offline in the future?
I don't understand, it uses gps to show your location with maps from google maps.... So basically it's just google maps?

Looks like it, read the .PDF on download page
So it appears. Try using Google Maps for the Diamond instead of Terracrosser.
Damn, what a nice tool, I will certanly keep that in mind!
I have searched for a proper solution to download the google maps for a long time... that saves me a lot gprs costs
Nice tool, hoe they gonna fix the zoom-bug, then it'll be just perfect!
Not really usable for the moment but, if I understand well the documentation, the tool Mapper (wich crashes for me) should be able to save maps with different zoom levels and that would be great ! Touch screen and jog dial navgation would also be great...
I'll keep an eye on this...
so how easy would it be to download maps for offline viewing.
Can I tell it to just 'go fetch maps for Paris' and that will be enough? Thats the sort of solution I would need, a list of cities and I 'check off' which ones I would want it to download and cache

I have tested the mapper for some minutes, i am at work, so not much time to do it in detail
You have to zoom to the area you want to download by yourself, after that you choose how many zoomleves are to be saved and the rest dows the program on its own. Quite simple in my opinion.
But a feature to enter the city you want to download would be great, too
Perhabs it'll be added in the near future. It#s the first official version of this tool, as I have read on the page.
sorry but how can I control the program. I`ve added the necessary reg keys to navigate with hw keys but I can not zoom. stylus navigation isn`t supported?
Beta tester wanted
Hello!
If anybody want to betatest Terracrosser for HTC Diamond, please contact "mail at terracrosser dot com".
Thank you,

New Zooming method
Please use version 1.0.1 - touch screen zooming implemented (read User manual).
Great program, just what a lot of people have been after.
Why has it taken so long for someone to actually make an offline/cached map viewer??!?! I wouldn't have thought it would be that difficult!
I'm having a few problems with the software that I will try and solve, hopefully this keeps getting better!
what happened to Terracrosser.com??
I get a "server stoped" message when I go to the url where terracrosser was previously found
http://www.terracrosser.com
Site Not Working
Same problem for me also. Nitisara please make the site work so we can download the latest version of terracrosser.
Loved it in Cuba.
It's a pitty that the site is down.
Luckily I already grabbed a version. And I used it in Cuba
As far as I know there are no GPS-maps available because that is not allowed.
But Terracrosser was a big help, especially when a jinetero is helping you to go to somewhere else
I've been waiting awhile for this and its finally here. Just wanted to let everyone know. Working well on my tilt so far.

This is the coolest thing to hit my Tilt in weeks! I can't wait to show it to my wife, so she can roll her eyes at me
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?

2.3.2 means you're reading it wrong, or it's not the same thing. Sure you're not looking at the Java version or something?

new google maps hangs
I don't know whether any of u guys have the same prob that i have.Recently, i download new google maps,turning on my wifi and using the maps.Then i went out (no wifi or hotspot available) open the map and it tries to connect to "something" so i try totap on the gps but it just hang.I rech home and try again by offying the the wifi and it hang.So the conclusion is i believe i need to turn on the wifi in order to use the map.Does anyone solve the prob?
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.

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.
