than you have the same probem I had.
I applied the radioupdate and after a reboot starting maps: latitude works.
Just a chance or is this really the small bug we all searched?
I did nothing else, no update, no new JF, no mods just applying radioupdate, reboot start maps.
Anybody can confirm this?
dunno if it didn't worked but i've rc9 + newest radio and Latitude works fine in Germany.
I am searching for someone whose latitdude isn't working .
Like you can see I am from germany too, and I havn't had this radioupdate but know some people in here have problems with missing lat on RC9
Mine wasn't working, then I installed the Latitude Launcher from the Market and now it does.
Oh, the fun of setting my location to strange places and getting messages from my friends asking what's going on!
Mine wasn't working either but I followed this thread and installed latitude launcher, now it works
Then later I did the radio update. but latitude was gone so I went back using nandroid - now it's all good
I thought those instructions were too long (I'm lazy).
So I was quite happy when I spotted the Latitude Launcher on the Market, no messing around, just restart or kill Maps with a task manager, press the icon, and now you have Latitude.

I am successfully running the Magic 5.0.1G rom... and everything was running OK... then yesterday I cannot download from the market.
I shows that "download is starting"... but it never actually downloads....
I tried rebooting, turning wifi on an off.... nothing is working.
I have the app to sd engaged.... but I did not mess with the cache to sd.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks!
Web
Same problem here. I had to flash back JF 1.43 RC9. Any solution would be appreciated.
Same problem here. Same details also. Looking forward to any ideas.
**app to sd not enabled.
Same here 5.0.1g, apps to sd not enabled, tried starting gtalk, cycle wifi, cycle airplane mode, multiple reboots, clearing market cache, everything I found on google. I don't want to go back to JF. Any solutions?
Yeah, boycott the market. We should make our own market!!! Free apps. How dare they decide to cut off the folk who could no longer wait for them to release "buttcake" and downloaded the Magic rom. I thought Google was my Friend. Now I see otherwise. I pay for their open sourced product to find it's nothing of the kind!!! Dirty rotten heathens!!!
or... we can just wait till the cupcake is released or the G2 hits the states. Market should be back up. This could also be a big ol' mistake in which case "Google is my friend, buddy and the best man at my wedding!!!" If not... Start a market and pay developers 88% of the proceeds...
I'm having issues similar to those stated. I noticed this morning that the apps weren't downloading, but after a few minutes they started. Tried a few more ten minutes later and the problem is back again. I'm running 5.01G appstosd
Did reverting back to JF solve the problem for those who did so? If not, could it possibly be a problem with the market itself? Maybe they are updating, and throttling the downloads to reduce the load while doing so? Just throwing the idea out there. I'm rather new to the scene and don't really know if that kind of thing ever happens. All other networking is working fine, and the market got a few apps for me today after it stopped working. Other files download from elsewhere. It sounds like an issue with the service rather than the roms.
Based on a report from BGR it's jus the G branch of the Cupcake builds while the HTC one still has access for now.

This was report to BoyGenius from XDA. Check the Magic/Saphire thread - last couple of pages.
Thanks for posting that.
I'm still keeping the build though. I don't need program updates and when I do I'll just download them off the online webs or download on another g1 and copy to an SD (for free apps) obviously.
Not getting rid of the candy they have in this build just for a market.
Didn't take long to get this problem solved. New builds labeled r2 (fixed market) can be found at Haykuro's google code page
http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/
Sweet. Haykuro is god.
I downloaded it and flashed it and I still can't download apps from the market. I'm using 5.0.1Gr2-appstosd. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this to work?
I wiped the phone before I updated also FYI
IM still having this issue, with the new 5.0.1Gr2
I am still having issues as well. Also, do not know if it's related, but on my t-mobile bill it says £ instead of $ on the "amount due ---"
im using 5.0.2H and ive never had an issue with the market, nor did i have one with 5.0.1H or 5.0
doesn't works
what im wondering is where is everyone getting this info about google blocking 'cupcake' users from the market? where is the official statement? because im using haykuros 5.0.2H and everything works on the market for me

The 5.0.2.H build works fine the issue is only on the Google Builds. I've tested the HTC builds and I can dl from the market with no issues, but once I install the Google one I run into the issue.
I have the same issue with the gr2 build of apps to sd...I used the HTC build prior and market was fine, but everything else was glitchy so I went for the google build...still, this rather sucks..I wanna play my paid apps!
Flashed to the HTC build until problem resolved. Even with no wipe, just a flash, market works fine.
i checked atrackDog this morning and its says that the default map app has an update.
3.1 I believe has anyone else seen this or know what this is all about?
**after waking up the info is as followed:
JF 1.5 adp1
aTrackDog 2.40 (2.50 doesnt show system apps)
Maps Installed 3.0.1 New 3.1.0
Old size 3137 New 1.9mb
Market search comes up with nothing
Are you sure it wasnt MY Maps Editor? Because i believe the google apps are only updated through OTA updates... if not that must be a glitch of some sort
Yea never installed my map edtior but it could or been a glitch cuz its 3.0.1 and 3.1.0 but I was thinking maybe its from another build .
ok so at least I wasn't the only one that see's that when I searched with aTrackdog, its funny how a stock app has an update.....maybe it is a glitch of somekind, and I'm pretty sure its the stock maps app

Did you guys select update to see what happens? Before you update go to your current maps and see if you have lattitude, then check the about section and check what version you have. Then hit update and check the about section again. Also when you hit update, does it take you to the android market with description and comments?
it does take u to the market, but it doesn't find the adress because maps is not in the market. and everything is up to date witth mine when I check the maps app
I have an update for it aswell... wonder if this is a home built version from someone
This is what happens. Atrack dog scans all users system to see if there's an update. If a user (with a hero rom or something) has a newer version of something that you have (maps) it will show as an update.
Conclusion, someone that uses atrack dog has a new map probably with a different rom, so it's showing you it has an update, but it's not on the market.

Well that explains it. I always hate how aTrackDog skips over 4 of the apps I have because it says theres a new version out, even though the market says NOPE.
Anyone have an apk of atrackdog 2.4? I was a bit lost for a minute when I updated and my list of apps went from 96 to 82 lol.
tehseano
i got atrackdog 2.4 and the reason your apps drop is because its no longer checking for system apps only market install.
give me a place or and email and ill send you 2.4 I try my hardest never to delete old files
Long story short, Google Maps fails at life. I can be sitting at my house (in Chicago) and it says I am in Des Plaines (15 minutes away).
I go to my g/f's house about 3 hours away and it has me going in circles if I follow it's directions.
I finally just went ahead and bought a stand-alone GPS

Hi,
there's been recent news an app called "Bump" (link to their official page).
what i don't understand is, how come does a friend, that has a same phone (t-mobile g1 from uk), same mod (latest cyanogen's stable) see that application in Market and i don't?
if we both search for "Bump", "BUMP" or "bump" or their project name "com.bumptech.bumpga" he sees it and i don't. now, the interesting thing, he got an update for this same app yesterday and updated it over market. he doesn't see new Bump in market (just in), and so don't i.
where's the catch???
can someone explain me this?
thank you for your help.
I can find it just fine as well... very odd... don't know what to tell you? Are you guys on the same carrier? Have you done anything else to your phone, ie Google Maps with Nav? A theme?
hi and thanks for reply.
i did installed google maps with nav. he didn't. i have default theme, so does he. i have adfree, he doesn't.
and yes, we're on the same carrier. ://
When did you install the maps with nav? Try the new update .zip in the dev section, it fixes broken markets and some other issues the hack originally brought with it. I am betting you added the maps with nav during the 18 hour, or so, period where it made it so market thought you were 2.0 as well, thus not allowing you to download/see apps not meant for 2.0, and it also made it so paid apps didn't show.
hi and thanks again for your reply. i installed the maps nav on the 1st day it was released. so yes, basically i think i installed the one with buggy market.
anyways.. i did what you told- installed the one in dev forum with fixed market.
sadly, that did not fix anything. i'm thinking now to reflash with latest cyanogen stable? maybe that should fix the problem?
what do you think.
thank you again!
hi. i've tried to search for the app today again.. and it found it. so i have no idea what fixed it all of the sudden. maybe it was that maps with nav update but it needed few hours or something. i don't know.
thank you for help pjcforpres.
Hey all,
For anyone with Bell vibrant version, do any of you have the problem with the "Google Maps Navigation is not yet available for your location" popping up when you open the app? Obviously this is not true since it's fully available here in Canada, not to mention the fact that it worked fine for me before. On my previous JG9 firmware it worked fine, but it seems to have sort of fudged up after the JH2 update. Now it shows that message, turn-by-turn nav is not available and only gives you the option of showing you directions.
Not that I use navigation much, but how should I go about in fixing this problem? any settings or caches I can clear to make it work again?
yes, same error, the fix is to install a new version from Android market
but it is better to use a decent GPS software like CoPilot, IGo, or anything of that quality.
Thanks for the info. I don't think I use GPS enough to buy a better app for it though, but I'll remember it as reference. I'll download the new version of stock for now.

Google Maps Navigation suddenly stopped working for me on Friday 20th (southern Ontario). Current version is 4.4.0. No update available yet.
It has happened right in the middle of a long weekend trip. It's good I had my old reliable Garmin with me...
I got my phone less than a week ago. Installed Google Maps 4.4 right away. It's worked perfectly since. I'm on whatever firmware the phone came with.
I'm having the same problem on two different phones.
It comes and goes. Restarting the phone usually helps as a temporary fix.
@AllGamer: Google's Navigation may not have some advanced features but I find it far superior to both my Magellan and TomTom.
created a FAQ that answer some of the questions regarding the "Navigator"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=763887
@hoomanb yes, i do like the google navigator, but it's not quite perfect yet, and as you said neither is TomTom
every one of those apps have something i like and dislike
currently using CoPilot, is almost great, but is also missing something i like from TomTom & Google Maps
if they could just combine all 3 of them together...
I noticed that the Google Maps Live wallpaper is no longer part of the options on Froyo.
Does anyone know how to get it on there or any news about it?
This happened on an update.zip upgrade from DI18 to EB13 on multiple phones.
Also looking for it
I'm also looking for it. Please update if you find it.
In the meantime, you can use this alternative:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=700786
Also, in this thread people are also looking for this wallpaper.
Thanks for the links. I tried the one you suggested and it just force closes everyone I try to load it. Oh well, the quest continues.
Thanks again for the help.

Who is "they" and how do I activate this on my phone? I have never been able to find out how even though once in a while I come across a reference to "Google Maps Live Wallpaper" on the interwebz. Can't find it on the market. Can't find it as an option in Google Maps. Can't find in in my wallpaper picker.
Any further explanation would be appreciated.

'They' would be GOOGLE (thought that was obvious, but maybe not). Your phone and Android version must support 'live wallpapers'. I think it started at 2.2. If it does, when you go to WALLPAPERS from home screen there will be a LIVE WALLPAPERS choice.
Until a recent GOOGLE MAPS update, if you have GOOGLE MAPS installed, MAPS would appear on the WALLPAPER/LIVE WALLPAPERS list. It started appearing there many iterations of G Maps ago.
I got all excited today when another update for G Maps popped up, thinking maybe they had accidentally left it off the last one and were updating to fix... no such luck.
I am back to using Advanced Map, which does a FORCE CLOSE everytime you boot phone, but after that works fine.

Can you not roll back the update in the application manager?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I am trying to get older version now. Will check the 'roll back' angle, but found website with them.
http://www.freewarelovers.com/android/app/google-maps#old_versions
6.0.1 didn't do it, trying 5.8.0 next
I just tried the "uninstall updates" method. It only went back 1 version, and did not restore the wallpaper function.
They mustve removed it a few versions back.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
OK, now I am wondering WTF. 5.8.0 no go either and it was working on my phone just a few days ago.
I just got a 'certified like new' warranty replacement and am running GB where my old phone was still on FROYO. I am starting to suspect that may have something to do with this.
I did manage to restore my fascinate to state it was before warranty exchange, Blackhole 4.4, a Froyo rom. Goolge maps was 6.xxx and the wallpaper was woring. Am now back on GB rom and it is not on available list of love wallpapers...
i just don't get it.
