Hello All,
I was just wondering if anyone has any input or has updated the google maps app for the Xperia. I hear the current version is 2.3.2 while the preload on the xperia is 2.0.someting.
What are the steps to update?
I just downloaded it straight from Google, and installed over the existing version, no problems.
The upgrade is very simple.
I just uninstalled the old google maps then installed the new version. The new version has some nice updates for favorites and street cams. I like it
I didn't uninstall the old version before installing a new one. In that way you can keep your old favorite locations.
Another question about google maps:
I use google maps with GPS. When I finish using it I exit google maps.
The next time I use google maps, it first positions me by gsm towers, not very accurately, but as best as it is possible by network - correct position.
The problem: When I switch to "use gps", it starts looking for satellites and at that time it moves my location to the last place I had gps lock which might be hundreds of kilometres away from my real location. Only when it finally finds satellites, it corrects my assumed location to the real location.
With previous versions it kept my "gsm position" until it could find the satellites.
Anyone else have experienced this with google maps? It's quite annoying...
While writing this post, I started thinking if me not uninstalling the old version before installing the new one, could be the problem...

I did a hard reset cause I messed up my X1 with too much tweaking. Now it seems to be working ok.
EDIT: Sometimes still, when it takes some time to get a fix, it shows me the wrong position while searching for sattelites. Then when it gets a fix, it jumps to the right location.
no latitude when i press the menu. I don't know why.
anybody has the same problem? and why?
I have a cm4.1999 ROM.
btw: when i search "google maps" in the market, it told me that there are no results....
Search for ROOT in the market. There is an app in there for 32A latitude fix.
Hi,
I have a program using google maps, and I want it to show the new google maps, but each time the program starts I see the old version of google maps.
Do I need to use different method thenthe one described in the google android developers site to do that?
I can see that it is the older one since in the old version there are no maps for my country, and in the new one there are.
(I can see the new maps using the goole maps app)
Thanks,
Amir
just upgrade to an official froyo ROM but on my previous ROM (Leedroid 1.6), i had google maps installed and there was an icon in Programs called "Places" where i could search for nearby petrol stations, supermarkets, pubs etc.
Ive installed the latest Google maps on my new ROM but i dont have the Places icon.
In the Market when i search for Places it has Google Maps as the first selection.
any ideas how i can get this app back?

I had the Same problem just restarted my phone and it was there.
is there anyway or anywhere to get google maps on the shift without the latitude app? i just hate seeing it in my app list! i never use it and i don't see available to freeze in titanium. is it just part of maps?
Yeah latitude, places, and navigation are all part of maps.
Ok. My problem is that while trying to upgrade to a newer version of Google Maps (5.6), I had to uninstall my older version (5.2) using Titanium Backup app. But I did not know that removing Google Maps would also remove Navigation, Places & Latitude. Now all of them are gone from my phone and the new package of Google Maps (version 5.6, size 6.39MB) is also NOT INSTALLING on the phone! So what is the remedy left now? Can I download Google Maps from the Market to install it on my phone?
You should be able to just dl maps from the market to get everything back, and I'm pretty sure if u try to get rid of latitude ,or any of the others, google maps just keeps force closing
