OK, with my other phones, SGII for instance, I can email myself directions from Google maps and when I click on the destination link contained in the email it takes me to my Google maps app on the phone, with the SGIII it takes me to Google Maps within my browser. looked for a workaround without success...
Mods, if this is a bug please move post...

Is anyone able to select dropbox as a searchable item in the google search app? I noticed today it was not available, even though HTC says it should be on their website. I proceeded to uninstall dropbox, clear the google search app data, and force close the app. This fixed the problem...but after dropbox updated, roughly 2 minutes later, I again lost the ability to select dropbox as a searchable item in google search. I tried clearing the google search app data and force closing it again to no avail.
Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a way to fix it? The only online storage I can search is google drive...but I primarily use dropbox since we got the 25gb of space.
I appreciate the help.

Is there a way to send yourself emails to see how certain Google Now cards would work? For example a made up Hotel reservation? What words does Google search for when they are examining an email. And does Google search its database to make sure the Hotel actually exists and to give directions?
Thanks.
Hello,
I'm using the latest version of Google Maps on JB 4.2.2 [Nexus 4]
I noticed that I cannot edit the names of my locations in "My Places" in the phone app. So I used Google Bookmarks (google.com/bookmarks) from my PC to edit/rename My Places. However, the names do not sync or carry through to the Google Maps app on the phone. The names in the app are still the generic names, coordinates or street names.
Is there any way to change the names of My Places and get them to sync with the phone app? Really baffling!

Was searching in Google for same issue and came across this post.
Okay, I figure out how to reproduce the bug, at least in my case. If I star it on the desktop browser, it won't push any new name to the ios app. But if I star it on the ios app, then go to rename it in the browser, and then go back to the ios app, the new name appears. Huh?

I tried with one of my bookmarks and this technique worked!

I wrote that. Good to see myself quoted on xda!
Definitely this works on latest Maps app on Latest iOS. However, definitely this technique does *not* work (at least in my case, Samsung GS4 Google Ed.) using the latest Maps app (7.0.1) on Android 4.2.2. In fact, with this setup, the places list does not show *any* of the names I have assigned using the Bookmarks webpage, no matter what I try. Erg.
When I do a search for a specific store or location in the browser, it will bring up a list of places nearby. When I select Directions it opens up Google Maps in the browser. Is there any way to have it open up in Navigation instead because the Google Maps in the browser can never find my location with the GPS.
Thanks.

Well, seems like it wasn't working in Dolphin but works in the standard browser.
Here is the New Google Maps Ver. 7.00
If you are running Android Ver 4.1+ download this apk
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ycdvwzee07g64f4/com.google.android.apps.maps-7.0.0-700002504.apk
If you are running Android Ver 4.2 download this apk

From what I have noticed is it takes away the Navigation and Places Icon as it is all in the Maps app now. Also Latitude is gone from the app and you can no longer access your Location History from the App itself.
I didn't like the way you control the street view on this maps app

I got the update thru the Play Store and now Maps isn't able to communicate with my contacts. Anyone else having this problem?
I can no longer search a list of my contacts to get directions or go to my contact's details and click on their address to get turn by turn directions.

I have noticed this as well, although I've never used it, but I'm sure for those that did its a hassle
Life is too short to be unhappy
Thanks for the confirmation. I chose to revert back to an old version of Maps for now. Titanium Backup saves the day once again!
Is this the one with Latitude removed?

I can find a contact if I start typing their name in the search bar.
