I wonder if any one has the same problem as I do. I upgraded google maps mobile to version 3.3.1 and deleted the old version during the install process. Since the opal has no build in gps, the positioning was done through the mobile network masts. Since the upgrade this function, also called quick location (using german version so term may be incorect) does not work very well.
Has anyone an old cab file of a previous version (not 3.3.1) of google maps mobile?
thanks a lot
EDIT: Managed to find some old direct download links in google. Fortunately you can still download the old versions directly from google. You just need the download links (or the exact Version number).

I just tried the 3.3.1 version of google maps. It zoomed in to some place in usa on first start, so I thought I have same problem as you (I am in austria). But when I zoomed in to my home location, i realized that the blue dot with circle around that indicates my location is still in same position as it was in earlier version.
Maybe that's what made you think it doesn't work anymore?

I'm not sure what you mean. Perhaps its best if I describe the error I had:
I installed 3.3.1 and used its location function. Everything worked fine and the Blue Point started moving with my position (You have to know I drove in a Bus with wifi internet access). An hour later when I started google maps again, I got my new location, but after a couple of minutes, my location was obviously not correct anymore because, the blue point showed my location on the map where I was an hour earlier. Reseting Google Maps caused it to show the correct position again for like one minute. After this minute my position on the map was again my earlier position.
After the downgrade everything works fine for me again
Try to install this:
HTCSensorSDK Disabler.CAB
Deactive the HTCSensorSDK with the Fix and Googlemaps works well. Also with Version 4.0.0.

I've notived I'm running 3.2.0 which has voice nav, is 3.2.1 basically this the same thing or does the .1 mean voice nav is disabled? A few of the comments in the market state it doesn't have vn but you know how the marketeers go..
Any one try the one from the market yet?
Yes the comments in the Market indicate the update include GPS Navigation however the installation is unsuccessful when trying to update.
Working for me...
I'm coming from CM4.25 on a G1
Had 3.2.0 installed and working fine for voice nav (using the only change to build.trout.prop: ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/voles/sholes/sholes:2.0/ESD20/17572:user/ota-rel-keys,release-keys)
Voice nav works for me no issues on the upgrade to 3.2.1. No issues doing the upgrade through market - maybe just market general flakiness.
Did you guys install 3.2.0 or force the APK to the system directories?
I forced mine. Maybe thats the issue.
Mine came stock in dwangs 1.13 rom. Guess I'll give updating a whirl and see how it goes..

Remove all presence of the existing maps (e.g. like how you uninstall pre-3.2.0) then market should allow an ok install then... You can lookup in the forums how to do that.
Basically mount system as rw and removes any traces of Maps.apk or com.google.android.apps.maps.apk
Not working in Cyanogen 4.2.5
I'm running the CyanogenMod 4.2.5 on a myTouch and I keep the installation keeps ending up "unsuccessful". My error says "Installation Error - Package file was not signed correctly".
The market install worked for me, too; though I'm currently indoors and thus unable to get a GPS signal.
A few questions about Google Nav in general:
In the official Google video (http://www.google.com/mobile/navigation/index.html#p=default), there seems to be a Street View option, particularly around turns (visible around 5:40). Yet, when using Nav (at least before the Market version), The best I could come up with is a zoomed-in satelite view. Has anyone been able to mimic what the video shows? I would imagine a layer for Street View, but I don't see one.
Also, when I first started using the app, the arrow would stay at the bottom the screen, and the map would rotate if the car turned (like an ordinary GPS). Now, the arrow moves around and the map stays stationary, pointed north. How does one fix this?
Can some upload the apk?

If you see the button with the blue arrow in it in the lower left corner of your screen, tap it. Mine does that when I scroll around on the map to look ahead or something.
Installed fine on Emother's AOSP. Nav working too.
i have a mt3g and the update works for me..
does anyone know how to get this widget??

Same here with a myTouch. Worked fine on a G1.
Can someone share the apk... I can't find it in the market...
Found it easily enough on the Market but the installation fails with the same message others have mentioned earlier
Breaks Google Talk for me when it's installed. Uninstalling the update fixes it.
Edit - Ugh. It's just so large that it pushed my adp1 into a low space situation. Apparently Google Talk won't start if your phone is too low on space.
i reinstalled cyans latest over my current build so that it could change back my prop file to say g1 instead of droid. Then went to the market and updated the maps program and it downloaded and installed just fine. Works just as good as before except this version is legit via the marketplace.
Has someone tested navigation outside the US? it works for me with the newest fix from the forum, but I'd like to know if it still works after updating?
works with dwangs 1.13
So I took the plunge and updated. First download failed to install, second download installed ok. Got a couple f/c,waits for the voicedialer (when opening maps and market) but they seem to have stopped. Nav is working cool.
I am running into issue getting this to install on my rooted G1. I get the good ol Package file was not signed correctly.
Tried to do the following:
adb shell
#mount -oremount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
mount -oremount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
#exit
adb uninstall com.google.android.apps.maps
Failure
Any help would be great
Rom = Cyanogen 4.2.4
Hello,
I am using a Nexus One with Cyanogen 6 RC3 on it. I have also flashed the google apps addon pack in order to have those apps.
My problem is the following; Two days ago I was able to use google maps navigation without problem. However now, anytime I use two addresses in Canada (where I live) for "Get Directions", the "Navigate" link never pops up. However the Navigate link is available when I use two US addresses. This is especially weird because if I access the Navigation app directly from my app drawer, I am able to use navigation between canadian addresses.
Just 2 days ago I was able to use navigation from within google maps and suddenly I am no longer able to. People have said to re-install google maps but I cannot seem to uninstall the maps application. Should I reflash the google apps pack?
Further, I apparently had auto updating enabled for maps but am unaware of any update that was applied.
Any help to be able to use the Navigation from within google maps within Canada would be greatly appreciated. I hope it is clear what my problem is, if you need more clarification please ask
Im not sure what the rule is about first replying to your own thread however I do have an update.
I re-flashed the latest google apps pack found here xttp://mirror.kanged.net/gapps/
The pack was the same one that I originally flashed however it seems after flashing now I have navigation functionality from within Google maps again. I am happy to have my problem resolved currently but I am curious as to why my Navigation functionality disappeared in the first place.
Hopefully someone knows or can explain what happened so I can prevent this kind of issue in the future. Thank again for all your time
you can try flashing RC2 back, couse many people are facing this issue!
I'm still experiencing this issue. I switched to Enom's rom to see if it fixed it but nope. My Google maps navigate link is sometimes available and then just doesn't show up other times. I am able to use the navigate app. I tried uninstalling maps with titanium backup and redoenloading it from the market, but I still have the problem with navigate.
When I first began my researches for new smartphone, I think I read MS2 came with a Motonav Demo. I've just got mine but cant find it. Can't find on Android Market either and Motorola Shop don't even show any app (is there something wrong or they haven't launched it on Brazil yet?)
I saw some posts in other forums showing the path (containing a download link) to install it but not sure if I can trust and if it will work on froyo. Anybody?
MotoNav was included in Milestone 1. Milestone 2 has google navigation by default.

Understand. The big difference is that Google Navigation doesn't have offline maps. Or is there anyway to get offlines maps for it?
Sent from my A953 using XDA App
Yes, google nav is far from perfect I'm not sure if motonav is available for standalone purchase, but there are few others offline nav apps for android. ATM I can remember copilot and navigon. Copilot looks and works nice, but I've heared people complaining about maps being a bit outdated and not precise in some areas. At least in Poland, other countries may have better support. I can't say anything useful about navigon: I looked it up and I didn't like it's interface and graphics, so I've chosen copilot.
Find out that Google Maps 5.0 can work offline using its cache. Just need to navigate trough the map within certain zoom while you still have a connection (such as Wifi).
Some other interesting improvents, too.

for offline navigation try use IGO, is a good gps navigator
you can find it at 'black market' or buy it on IGO SHOP for android
i recomend
Google's navigation caches routes before you take them (in the previous version there was a setting to allow it to do this on 3G, but I'm not sure if it's still there). It also stashes away all the stuff it's downloaded before in case you need to go there again. It uses vector graphics rather than tile based stuff too, which means you get a certain amount of available zoom without downloading any more data...works pretty well.
That said, if you need completely offline navigation, there are several programs from GPS vendors available...
I recommend google maps 5
does google maps 5 has been released?
I just downloaded "google map 5" apk but I'm not sure about it cuz the feature is not like whats described in the video.
In google maps 5 it's true that I can tilting and rotating with finger control, the maps loading time also fast but in my "google maps 5" the zoom level is not as big as in the video and there's no 3D building (I searched bryant park in google maps 5, I found it, but it was totally different with what it is look like between in my MS2 and the video trailer)
my question is: do I downloaded the right apk?

your motorola should come standard with google maps 5. however, if it doesnt, you can get it from the marketplace for free. there is however a new version of google maps, which is 5.3. according to the post, it should be available from the market place. however if you cant locate it, there are links to download the apk and then install it.
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/google-maps-5-3-for-android-available-now/
since its new, i suggest you read the comments before downloading it.

nice info
I've downloaded it and it's still the same.
I still can't see 3d building (in new york) and the zoom level of map terrain cannot reach the level I want.
I'm curious about why I cannot find this apps in android market..
is it because google maps 5 still in beta version or what?
at least, the satelite view is great

if you do have the latest version, im not quite sure why you cant see buildings in 3D. i dont seem to have a problem seeing buildings in 3d in new york.
however about you not being to search for google maps on the market place, i had the exact same problem. apparently the reason behind it is because google does not distribute applications in Malaysia and Indonesia and many other countries. therefore, the only other way to work around it will be to root your phone in order to obtain google maps and other such software. as soon as i locate the relevant link ill edit this post with it.
EDIT: here is the post i was looking for. its a similar question i asked some time back and this is the answer i got:
I also from M'sia, but i able to update it by doing some tricks.
U can't update directly if u are from Malaysia because currently M'sia still not in the Market List that fully distributing all applications. This link will provide you with that list:
http://www.google.com/support/androidmarket/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138294
Solution: Go to Market & try to search "MarketEnabler" and u will know the trick.
U will be surprised by then.
Sorry, there is one more condition: Ur phone need to be Rooted!!

Thank God I've rooted my phone several days before.
so I installed market enabler and choose to fake my network as verizon.
and it's like magic..I searched "map" in android market then from out of nowhere suddenly google maps showed up at the first row (that's amazing)
then I choose google map and it says "open" rather than "update". It indicates that my maps is in the same version (5.3) with the one in android market.
Then I decide to uninstall update and reinstall it from android market.
It's work, now I can see 3D building on my maps (I like the moment when the buildings growing up from the ground, it's cool)
thank you agent008my now my maps become more colorful

I had to use my company iPhone today because I can't seem to get ANY navigation program for my Samsung Galaxy Camera to work.
- Native Google Maps/Navigation says there is no network connection even though I can go in Chrome on the device and connect and find things (but no step-by-step) using maps.google.com and Gmail and other network programs from Google and others work fine. Since the Galaxy Camera supports a SIM card but I never use it (I carry a WiFi dongle/MiFi) I'm wondering if it is trying to get on AT&T even though the WiFi is active?
- Tried CoPilot GPS, and it insisted on first installing their offline maps that are 13 Gigs. Wouldn't let me set it up to use my SD card, and wouldn't let me use without installing maps first
- Tried MapFactor Navigation and the free version won't let you enter a street address. You can give country, then state, then street, but unless you can find a cross street it knows about, you get directions that are "in the area". Paid version supposedly supports the usual address search, but who wants to pay to find out if it really does?
Anything that I can do to get Google Maps to work right or some other program that will work if I always have WiFi?
After a couple hours of Google Fu, I discovered the issue was with the latest version of the Maps application. When Google removed Latitude it also messes with the setting for whether to report location or not, and gets confused.
To fix this you have to go into Application Manager, go to Maps, choose "Uninstall Updates". Then go to the Play Store and choose to update. When it finishes the update and you see the button in the store change to "Open" make SURE to open the application from there. That will then give you the chance to accept the new terms of service, and to select the proper location reporting setting.
After that it works properly. Supposedly several folks with other Galaxy products and the latest Nexus products encountered the same issue.
Hi,
maybe someone knows remedy. I use MI 11 with Stock Rom MIUI Global 12.0.9(RKBEUXM).
I use Sygic as my navigation app. Unfortunately no maps can be downloaded. The map downloads are always only in a queue. However, I suspect that it is due to the MIUI download app. The download jobs are queued there, but only have the status 'Waiting for connection', 'Waiting for new attempt' or 'Download failed'. If I copy the link from the downloads and paste it into Chrome, the files are loaded immediately, although it is of no use to me because Sygic then expects them elsewhere. This worked without any problems with all previous cell phones of Xiaomi.
Do you know of a remedy or adjustment screws for checking?
Best regards
Dirk
I'm in the same ROM and maps' download from inside the app work ok. I'm not sure at all about ur alternative approach of downloading sygic maps, sounds like 'unofficial'
What do you mean by 'unofficial'. Sygic was bought and used for several years. I only tested the links from the download app in chrome explorer. I tried factory reset today with same result no maps are downloaded. Download app is version 21.01.26.20. I have no idea what else i can do or check.
Update on 6pm:
Now I found solution myself. I registered as a beta tester for Sygic on my previous MI8 to test android car. Now i have uninstalled the beta version, installed the normal one and everything works perfectly. Maps are downloaded without download app.
Thank you for your attention
Best regards
Dirk
