Google Maps 4.1 problem

HI
My HTC Legend have Google maps 3.4 factory intalled,
Anyone have problem with installing Google Maps 4.1 on Legend? cant find in Android Market, tried from google's site unsuccessfully .
Sorry for bad English

i had no problems installing the update to 4.1
The Legend is experiencing problems with some apps. The problem seems to be that the Legend model is not know yet by some localized Markets.
In the Netherlands apps like Layar, and Hyves can;t be found on the market or installed manually, Google Earth doesn't boot up. And in your case updates aren;t successful.
The problem is know by google and HTC and is being worked on. The reason seems to be that the Legend isn;t available everywhere till April.

I'm using Legend in English language and so far no problems with apps at all. Update to the Google Maps 4.1 was smooth as expected.

No problem here in Italy. As soon as I went in Android market, in download section I found the mark "upgrade available" for google maps.
It's running fine; I believe (as somebody else has already wrote) the market is depending by the county. Probably yr country is in queue to get the update

I think here in Europe is only 4.0 available as 4.1 working only in USA (for now )...

Earth doesnt boot, anyone manages otherwise?

Google maps 4.1 installed from the marketplace without a hitch. I'm in France.

[APP] Google Maps 4.4.0 [Request]

Hello,
Can't download Google Maps 4.4 from the Market, it's not visible in Serbia.
Any volunteers for uploading?
Big thanks!

mate, just wait a bit for mr brut to come out with 4.4 instead.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=630887
Google maps 4.4.0 and brut-appmod seem to co-exist btw.

I was happily using Brut-appmod (great mod, btw!), but noticed significant memory leak I couldn't trace. It went down to 40 MB for no apparent reason.
Was it the Brut mod or something else? I don't know, but I've recently wiped clean my HTC Desire and wouldn't push my luck further.

Hello,
Before the brut is released, You can download and install market enabler
http://code.google.com/p/market-enabler/downloads/list
With this program you can change your location (like US) and download all software you want.
PS : i Think you need root access.

I guess this is legal so I've uploaded it here. It's on my dropbox so I can't guarantee you how long it will be on there.
If this is not legal, please remove it mods.

Yes, I've already considered that, but am still not ready to root. This is my first Android phone and I don't have enough experience for rooting.
AppBrain app does great job for everything else, but not for Maps.
Thanks for the help!

Thanks

Google Maps on GB

Hello.
I am using the latest CyanogenMod7 nightly and I wonder, does anyone with GB (2.3) has Google Maps available to install? It doesn't show on Market (even with Green patch) and my phone is greyed out on https://market.android.com/ for Google Maps.

I have Google maps on nFinityGB 0.7. Did you flash the Google apps after you flashed the ROM?

Download apk from here http://www.freewarelovers.com/android/app/google-maps , put it on sd and install it with file manager..

Oc course. I wouldn't be able to go in market otherwise. I just couldn't find Gapps for GB that contained maps.

Thank you very much for this. It works.
Now, I only wonder if there's a brut version for the latest maps...

market enabler works well with gg play. I've just installed gg maps this way a few days ago. If it doesn't work, restart and try again. If still doesn't work, try another enabler app and restart and the problem would be solved

Version 7 is royally screwed up, I would not recommend updating if you were seriously using the app.

I still haven't got the update to version 7. I'm still on 6.14 and play store says map upto date july 11th. How do I get the update?

Wow. Thanks a bunch.
I tried searching before for one and couldn't find the last pre-7 and was also too lazy to make a request thread.

Thanks this is great. I couldn't stand the updated maps app at all. Not very user friendly. I used the maps app a lot for when I'm out of town for work and this past week it failed miserably.

yessss!!!! thank you!

Reverting is easy
If you want to go back to a fully featured version of maps, just go into my apps in the app store, select maps and then press uninstall. It will take off the new version (downgrade) and revert you to the old (fully functional) version.
With the need to use two map as before (google+ to see where my wife and family is and maps to see traffic), the loss of my places, and the lack of layers on the navigation app (can't show gas stations along my route), this "upgrade" is awful.
Yes, the bare bones map and navigation software is slick. But you know what? So is TomTom and garmin. What set google maps apart were the extras. I can only hope they add a bunch of these features back (along with the option to display a +/- to zoom and a length marker) at some point soon. I won't be upgrading until they do (and my rating will stay 2 stars).

My thoughts exactly, it's very difficult to use the new Google maps.

in the new gmap you cant save a map to make available offline..
the new gmap is like on the iphone tsk tsk

thanks for this post, found it while I was out, I stupidly updated when i was at home as street view wasn't working, the newest one doesn't detect my location on data unless I have gps while v6 works fine,

Thanks, I've re-signed it with test keys so that it cannot be auto-updated by the play store.
I've had to uninstall maps 7.x and re-install the old version four times so I ended up doing this.

Thanks a lot! I was wondering how to achieve that...what a great work.

How do I install this app? I'm unrooted and on 4.3 so this ota contained the latest maps already I can't go back by uninstalling the update n if I try to install it just says application not installed
