Hi,
There is a new version of google maps in the Market Place, yet the my downloads is not asking me to update it.
When I look at the version on my Orange HTC Hero it says Version 3.1.1 (#3174) gmm-htc.
Is this a HTC specific version? Should I upgrade it? What's different in the -htc version?
Thanks
Kevin
the new version in the market is 3.1.2
google decided to release it as an update in the market instead of as an OTA update.
the HTC comes with the version that was available when they developed the ROM. nothing more than that.
download the update already.....
Does the compass in the Hero work with Google Maps (aka iPhone 3GS) ?
Yes it does, but only in the streetview mode
How ?
I have the lastest maps installed and I see no option to use the compass.
i was wondering that too. also, is there any way to actually see the aerial views from the maps, or do you have to load google via the web browser?
Hit menu and then Map mode to select Satellite.

I am using CKDroid 1.6b2
Today I updated my Maps app, but I can't get Navigation working
Also Buzz can display the layers but it fails publishing my own Buzz.
Anyone got this working?
I already read about Buzz that I may need to go to gmail using a browser.
I can live with that, but the Navigation would be very nice to have and Maps 3.3.1 just lacks some of the nice features compared to Maps 4
Hi,
I'm also on CKDroid 1.6 b2, in the UK.
Navigation works almost perfectly (except for the speech), but you need to remove the official Google Maps app and install the hacked version and the Nav Enabler, there's info on this here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5394164&postcount=134
(which is also linked from the FAQ on the CKDroid 1.5 page)
Buzz just appeared for me today when I went to google mail in the phone browser, it's just a new little icon in the menu at the top of the page, I didn't have to do anything to get it working. It's still not there in my desktop browser though, and they are rolling it out slowly, so if it's not there for you now, you might just have to wait for it to appear?
Thanks, but I don't want the old version of Maps
I want the most recent.
BTW I got Buzz working but not nav (yet)
Now I am flashing Vanillain instead... just for fun..
err, well then you'll have to wait until Google release it officially, you can't have the latest Maps and have Nav working outside USA as Google don't want you to, simple as that.
cant we have 2 maps installed? old and new?

Hi there. I saw this game on the Market recently and was wondering if anyone has it running on their NCs?
I was able to download it from the market, but it immediately FCs with no additional info. FYI I'm running CM7 n123 with no OC.
Thanks,

Went into market but unable to download. Missing download button... How come you can
Downloaded the Lite version to my phone and pulled the apk over. Did a quick test and started up the tutorial with no force closes.
7.1 RC w/ OC 1200
Additionally, I was not able to download it from the market directly to the NC (hence pulling it from my phone). What version of market do you have? Possibly you still have an older version, not device aware, and were able to download it? I know that after market updates to the newer version, that some applications will not update if the device does not meet the requirements of the application (GPS, etc).
I'm still on the normal market, version 2.3.6 I think. It's definitely not the new one. I was able to download directly from the Market app, but web based Market says incompatible.
Very odd indeed.
In Android market, Google Maps showing update is available, but when I click on update, it is showing "This video is not availbale in your country". And My google maps version is 5.10, and there is no navigational feature in my maps. Now I'm in Dubai. Can somebody advise me about this?

Maybe your try to uninstall Google maps and then reinstall it from market.
It's a bit confusing to got this error while updating google maps?!?
Maps don't use videos and market also?!
If this problem anyway is there, maybe the market saved a wrong option to open updates.
So go to: Settings>Applikation>Running Apps>All then clear the data from "market"
CHEERS
Thanks Hannibal for the quick reply. I tried to do what you have mentioned, but its not working. So I downloaded 5.11 from internet and installed it on my SGS2. But still there is no navigation with the maps. Showing navigation is not supported in your country. How can we bypass this?

Sorry but I think you must have a look for an alternative navigation.

I have 2 android devices one is htc hd2 with core droid rom and other is galaxy tab 7" with kratos rom. After installing new market i cant find google maps by searching it from the market it shows at the top google sky map i enter it from the related apps part it shows google maps there i click it go to google maps and can install it without an issue. But by searching i cant see it. Also this is same for Street View or Google Earth. Also android market web page i can see google maps but when i select any of my device it disapears from the list. What is happening this is really bs !!!!.
Hello All,
The topic says it all.
I am having Samsung Galaxy S2 with Cyanogen Mod which i recently updated to nightly build 7-11162011-NIGHTLY.
Even with this update and with the stable build whenever I go to the market to install Google Maps and Latitude, it always this application is not available in your country, which us kinda hard to believe.
Interestingly remaining within the very same country I can install and use Google Maps and Latitude Symbian version on my old Samsung Omnia HD i8910.
So does anyone know or have anyone tried to install all such google apps with country restrictions.
Thanks for your support.
Try using Market enabled app, its on the market but you need root access for it (I guess you have, if you have custom ROM)
It allows to fake the location to Market app, bypassing the location restrictions. Just open the app, press and hold the Network/Location you wish to fake and select fake the provider. Then just go to market app, restrictions should be gone.
Its very useful for this weird cases.
Hope it helps.
