Google Maps Fix Problem - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently updated to CyanogenMod 4.2.8 and installed the fixed version of Google Maps (found here http://www.androidspin.com/forum/index.php?f=179&t=72&rb_v=viewtopic) and followed the directions completely, now I have no more Google Maps, it doesn't show up as installed in my Market Downloads and when I try to re-download it, it gives me the installation error.
Any help is appreciated

Those instructions don't apply to the 4.2.8 CM ROM, at least I didn't have to go that route when I finally got 4.2.8 installed and booting. I was able to download and install google maps 3.3.1 from the marketplace without any issues.
And what install error are you getting?
Now if I could get the voice activated navigation stuff working, I'd be even happier.

I am having the same issue. I installed cyan's latest update and then flashed wes's 9r1 and my google maps is gone. When I tried downloading it from the marketplace it downloaded fine but hung up on the install... said "incompatable update"... any ideas?

I finally got it figured out... don't remember how... reflashed an old cyan rom and tried to down load it again... worked... maps are back!

This is what prevents me from DL the latest Cyanogen. I'm thankful for a custom rom but I rely on Google Nav too much to potentially not having it work.

Any luck with Nav ?

The map update came out...

I installed it successfully. Any chance you did the nav hack in the past? If so, I would try a fresh install.
I tried the nav hack the other day, somehow screwed it up and decided to start over fresh. Clean installed Cyan 4.2.5 earlier today and I'm getting the same error about the package not signed correctly.
Same Problem here also running Cyanogen 4.2.5 won't install Maps update
In the same boat as the previous 2 posters.

So, Wipe and flash cyanogen again?
how to get map update on cyanogen 4.2.5 without using adb

I'm not sure that a wipe is necessary, but it is what I had to do because of messing up the nav hack the other day.

Download the Google maps APK from this site directly to the root of the SD card; then, using Linda File Manager, use the package installer to install it (rather than trying to update from the Market). It worked for me anyway, and I had been experiencing the same problem. Now, the market shows that Maps is "Installed" rather than before, when it was saying "Update Available."
Hope this helps.

Over in the dream android development forum there is a thread with the latest cyan ROM with all the goodies included, I'm sure you can just update and have working nav. check it out.

Can't use G. Maps Navigation after Cyanogen upgrade!

All, I am still running 4.2.5 on rooted Magic. I tried upgrading a while back but found that I had to re-flash the Navigation piece i downloaded here. For some reason it is still failing to show up, even after clearing cache and rebooting.
Am I missing something. The instability of 4.2.5 is starting to get to me...
Thanks
Why not upgrade to 4.2.12.2?
Also if you're in the US you can download the Google Maps update to get navigation without flashing anything.

Because I loose Navigation. The idea was to re-flash after updates but hasn't worked for me. My phone is rooted, I can't download Google Maps from the market.
if your phone is rooted the market should still work just fine... I run CyanMod 4.2.12.2 on my MyTouch fine, after my last flash i popped up market and updated google maps. Nav works great (you'll need the svox stuff for the voice commands but it'll walk u through that)
I had the same problem. On mine I had to download a newer 1.6 base, flash that, then flash Cyano's latest and greatest. There was something different about the older zip that would mess everything up. the filename is DRC83_base_defanged.zip Hope this helps.
did the same as above, the old 1.6 will not allow you to instal the new google maps

In order to use Google Nav, here's what you need to do, if this doesn't work then, I don't know, re-root or something.
I'm assuming your using a Mytouch (32B), but if not go here and follow the directions for 32A
1. Download the HTC Android 1.6 base image - here
2. Then download the latest CyanogenMod - Here
3. Then after backing up your SD and then wiping everything from it, put those two zip files on your SD, then flash them - being sure to flash DRC83_base_defranged first, then flash the CyanogenMod.
4. Go to the market and download the Maps update in the market. Also you'll need to install all the tts and voice stuff that goes along with Maps after you open it.
If that doesn't work, then I'm not sure.
Same for me. I was pretty bummed when I rooted and realized I had no access to Labs for Google Maps.
Solution was just to go to the market and get the update for Maps. Now everything is right in the world again.

Google Maps 4.1.0

Can not update from 4.0 to 4.1.0
Any hint?
Because it's a custom ROM. Maps have been tampered with so that Nav can work outside the US. So the upgrade cannot authenticate the version you currently use and make the install fail.
Just installed "3pei's DroidSense v0.2" on my magic.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=642125
I could install google maps 4.0.1 without any problem.
I managed to download it and install it on SuperHero v1.5. You just need to uninstall the old Google maps and download the new one. If you don't after the download it will fail at installation.
i download and install ok on my mytouch 3g. It's work Great.
there is 4.1.0 available in Market (europe) today with line in changelog
- navigation (BETA)

Installation fail
hi,
I tried to install directly with google maps 4.0.0 and failure has given me (I have version RAv1.6.3G)
I tried to uninstall google maps but only lets me remove the updates, not the application. Even so I tried to download version 4.1.0 of the Market but fail.
Does anyone have a link to the Google Maps 4.1.0 apk unsigned?
thanks!
remove google apps with ADB - search
thanks dk75,
I can finally uninstall google maps, so I can install the latest version of the market.
now the problem is that, being the original version, I no longer have the option to "navigate".
I'll wait to see if they have the unlocked version soon.
thanks.
what is strange Google did two 4.1.0 realases in 2 day - 4124 and 4126 and booth is called 4.1.0 in Market but when in notification 4126 was called 4.2.0 and that version did reboot to my phone durring update (and it was report earlier that it do that at the forum)
So again Google couldn't provide proper realase for it's application - lame.
The rebooting happened to me too. I also wondered about there being an update from 4.1.0 to 4.1.0.
Didn't notice about the 4124 and 4126 though.
What's the difference between both and how do you properly install the 4126?
Brut's 4.1.0 version is available now:

Google maps will not install after new rom

Thanks in advance for anyone who has any advice!
I recently updatated to a newer version of [email protected] on my nexus one and since then google maps will not install.
when updating to the newest version of the rom I whiped cache and dalvik and updated. everything works except google maps. Titanium backup does not even give me the option to reinstal it. google maps v4.20 is just listed as an uninstalled app. When i select to restore missing apps, it says completed yet google maps is still not installed.
Before this I was not able to install the newer maps V4.30 and i still cannot install it off the market.
To eliminate the rom as the culprit i installed the newest version of eViL n-One-sh0t and I still do not have google maps, nor will it install.
I am just looking for anyone with any sort of advice, i tried googling it and came up with nothing. one thing i have not done is whiped the phone back to stock then re flashed the rom. I was hoping to avoid this but if it is an obviose fix i will just do that
thanks again!

[Q] Can't update/reinstall Google Maps

Hi,
I recently installed CM 9 Alpha 2 with Gapps ICS 4.0.3 11.12.22 everything seemed to work fine until I tried to update Google Maps from Android Marketplace. It didn't allow me to update and said that I have to uninstall the previous version. So I uninstalled it using Titanium without making a backup.
And then when I tried to install the new version from Marketplace, it returned an error stating that update is incompatible. And after a while it changed to "Incompatible with other application(s) using the same shared user ID".
I tried installing Google Maps 6.40 apk manually but the Installation aborts.
I tried going back to the original app by installing it through Gapps ICS 4.0.3 11.12.22 but the installation keeps aborting.
Do I need to completely clean and reinstall the ROM and Gapps? Is it the only possibility?
I'm at wit's end as what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Try the gapps fixer utility. If that doesn't work you'll probably have to do a clean install. There's a later gapps you can flash, I think it's 031712, which works well with ics. Good luck.

Here's a link to the latest gapps:
http://goo-inside.me/gapps
Hi, i have similar problem. I am from time to time updating to a newer nightls and at the same time newer gapps package. And i don't have Google Maps for some time now.
I tried extracting newest gapps 20120317 and ther is no Google Maps inside, so its not a bug in istalling its simply not there!
The Google maps version that is on market has navigation, meaning it is for US only i think, thats why many of us cant get it from market it wont install(but it does work if someone else downloads it, and you install manualy on non US phone)
I know i can get the ICS compatible google maps apk from some ICS ROM that has it, i will try it later, but still it would be nice if they put it back to gapps package the next time they make it.

I have exactly the same error trying to install gmaps from market. "Incompatible with other application(s) using the same shared user ID". Apk installation fails
Flashing latest gapps (from cyanogen wiki) didn't help
Tried to flash gmaps separately from some zip found on internet but it didn't help too!
Can someone post latest gmaps zip? I'll try to flash it with cwm.
Thanks!

I have a CM9 nightly and I tried re-installing that gapps version. It didn't seem to fix my google maps though. I still get the same error while trying to install it from the market.
