Google maps - Rotation at any point?

Sorry guys, had a search but to no luck.
Does anyone know if Google maps can or is planning to release a maps version that rotates as can be seen on the iphone, a guy I work with shown me his new 3gs and the way the maps spin to your direction was mighty impressive. I figure with the hd2 having built in compass, then why cant we have that too.
Again apologies if this has been covered, even google searches were not bringing up a great deal.
Thanks, Rick.
Actually nobody knows. Ask on google mobile forums. Not that anyone will answer.
With the latest version of Google Maps (mine is 3.3.1) the blue circle that shows your position is now an arrow that works with the compass - but the map doesn't rotate.
Yeah I have noticed the arrow detects your direction, but the maps themselves rotating would be great. I shall have a mooch on the google forums.
Cheers.

[Q] Location - Map Update Required

Having had my DHD for a week (very happy btw) I've now got an odd problem with Locations.
Today I've started getting a notification
"Map update required"
When I click on it tells me "To use online map services, you must have the latest version of the map. Please download an updated map and try again. Tap Download to update United Kingdom, Ireland"
Clicking download just produces "No matched map - unable to find any matching map. Please download this map manually."
I can't find either of those maps then in the list to download them, presumably because they are already installed.
If I add another map then that country appears on the update list as well.
Any ideas? Anyone seen this before.

Same symptoms here.
Newbie here,
I've had exactly the same issue. Decided to try downloading Netherlands map just as a test and that seems to have installed OK (3D buildings etc.)
Hopefully it's just an error soon to be corrected.
Hmm. Seems to have gone away all on its own after 3 or 4 hours. Maybe a non-issue after all.
Not device related but coverage issue

I'm guessing you just need to be patient. Check if our GPS is on. Also - what excitement are you looking for out of a map to deem it "boring". Not sure what you could be looking for in terms of enjoyment.
Click the little dot with 4 lines on it. It's supposed to take to right to your location. Does on mine with wifi and gps off. More accurate with gps on.

I'm having the same problem. GPS Status & Toolbox, GPS Status Test & Fix and GPS Test all get a fix, accurate to 10 metres. When I open Google Maps, it just constantly says waiting for location. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Google Maps, and now the GPS icon doesn't even come up in the status bar (it did show up before the uninstall/reinstall but it still wouldn't get a fix). Does anyone have any ideas?

i've uninstalled the updates, now gps starts when i open google maps ...
but i only get the location given by the network or wifi.
the gps icon in the notification bar blinks ... finds the location fast enough (the location is accurate if checked in other applications) ... but this location is not shown in google maps:
if in location settings/mode i check 'gps only' ... the gps locks the correct position, but it is not shown on the map ...
if i chose 'high accuracy' .... maps will show the position of given by the network (which is not accurate)
any ideas? thank you!
btw google earth too fails to start the gps and to find an accurate position - it will get the position given by the network ... so it's a google thing - i guess!
another funny thing:
in maps i get the location using the network (which is not accurate), but if i switch to navigation - i get the location by gps (more accurate)!
so it uses the gps just for navigation .... what is this?
I figured out my problem: Google Play Services and Privacy Guard. Google Play Services needs location access as well as Maps.
Click thanks if I helped you

[Q] Nokia Here maps not working?

I'm using Cyanogenmod on my N4, and somehow Nokia Here just won't work. All I'm seeing is a white map. It can track my location, but the map area is just all white. Does anyone have the same problem / know how to fix it?
Did you try to download the maps for your country??
