Ok, so I am one of those people that don't have a data plan with their G1.
I was just wondering if it is possible for me to download and cache Google Maps on my microSD card. Since the GPS on my device still works, I could use it and the cached maps to get my location/address/etc.
Anyone know if this is possible?
No, it is not.
you can cache maps with Big Planet
i cant find it in the market

http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Educational/Maps/Big-Planet-TW-81029.shtml
so if i cache the maps i can only use the app big planet to view them right? is there any way to get the google maps app working with the cached maps so i can use the navigation?
Probably not.
BTW, also downloadable here: http://code.google.com/p/android-map/downloads/list

Hey everyone,
I have a problem running google maps, it installs fine but everytime i want to run it an error pops up saying that it isn't signed or that a component might be missing. The strange thing is that it was working before when i got the device and installed it and after a hard reset it doesn't anymore. It kinds of bugs me because i use it quite often!
if anyone is able to help me please don't hesitate!
Thanks!

with your mobile, go to http://mobile.htc.com/uk/01_applications.html and download it from there. then it will work again. before doing this, uninstall the installed version.
Thanks, it worked!
Got my google Maps back up and running.
Cheers

I just did the update and now the Maps search Touchflo 2D menu option does nothing. Maps itself is fine. Any ideas how to get the search option to launch Maps again?
Tried soft reset already?

Try installing Google maps to the internal storage, should work then.
However, does anyone know if there's a way to make location tab work even with google maps installed on the card?

Doh! Thanks for that, it works from main memory. It would be nice to have the option to run from card though.

Hi there. The unit I got in Malaysia doesn't come with google maps. The icon on the touchflo is missing. Where would I start if I want this application? Thanks.

True. Sophisticated Google maps capabilities do not work in some locations, Malaysia included. You may need to use M2DC to enable the "Location" tab in TF. See here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427392

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

h well it doesn't, apps haven't started to filter in to Win 8 yet given its a beta still, but I suspect once we start hitting the RCs we will see the app store getting larger with such apps, just now you need to remember that there are not many Win 7 tablets with GPS so demand is not high for your needs just yet.
Try using google earth - it works with GPS
I know this is a stretch but why not use the metro bing maps app. It does support location services.

I am travelling to a new country soon, and want to save map of tht city for offline viewing, but I simply cant seem to see that option anymore.
Please guide me, using latest updated version of Google Map.
PS: Is this option taken out ? Any alternatives ?
Maybe a Google search ?

It used to be in the menu... why is it hidden with a secret command..... wtf is going on with the world... eeverything is so fookin against end users nowadays.
Or get an alternative app?
Personally I like MapsWithMe. It doesn't run on Google Maps but on OpenStreetMap.org, which means it's quite a lot more accurate and extensive. (Even lists benches and power lines.) Just a suggestion.

Thanks for the tip - never heard of it before, just tried it and it's excellent - time to ditch CoPilot
I've used RMaps which you can download a city map to something daft like 3 feet, viewable offline, multiple map scales so you can zoom in/out offline, download via wifi, cached/downloaded maps saved to SDCard, GPS tracker and multiple maps to choose from including Google, Ordinance Survey Maps + more....
I use this before I run Google and can have clear street view before I've set foot out of the door

I use navigator. It doesn't need a data connection because you download maps either paid or free (I use the free ones and they are fine). I found even when Google maps let you download a map you still couldn't navigate on it without a data connection anyway. Which made it kind of pointless.

I just made a search in Google play for apps suggested above "RMaps" and "Navigator" and I am not able to find app as such on the play store.... ?

Unless the DEV removed Rmaps maybe (I'm sure I downloaded it from play store") well here's a link to his blog

I have tried all maps mentioned here, but none of them are as smooth and easy to understand as Google maps. Most of them are slow and laggy and also take forever to load location names and details.
Now I would be stuck without wifi and now wonder what to do....
