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.

The File Is A .cab File And Is Only 600kb
Hope You Guys Like It.
I've tried it. I like Windows Live search program much better. Google is good though.
thnx
thnx...i have tried to use it b4...n it seemed really off!!
this works like a charm!!
doing an md5 hash checked revieled that the cab i had and this one was different. then bingo.. what do you know! new version.
original version was 1.0.0 this one is 1.0.1
haven't noticed anything different. and i'm still getting those annoying errors.
im disappointed.
Zero errors here.
Works great and I love it. Way cooler then Live Search IMO.
Plus it loads 10 times faster. Very handy app!
Yeah, this is really fast and zippy. Very nice interface. Hope they can include hardware button assignments to zoom in and out in the future.
Worls great on the Wizard, even without OCing.
I couldnt seem to get this to work with wifi. Any ideas?
Map4PDA
Check out http://www.map4pda.com/ .
Its free and its even better than googlemaps.
Map4pda is an app like googlemaps . You can use maps from google earth,yahoomaps and some more providers.
anyone had success using it with a bluetooth gps ???
ps:
map4pda doesn't work for me... because i did not see any map... only black screen or sometimes white screen with a few black lines... just tryed out all map providers... everywhere the same...
!! Yes !!
Yes agreed, I've been using the original for a while, no difference here.
Google will father your children by 2020

hmm. thats strange... If GoogleMaps works for you ,you should have no problems with Map4PDA...
Anyone know of a mapping app that will save the maps for OFFLINE viewing? I don't use WiFi all that often, and I would like the program to save the maps for my city, so I can view them offline.
Any ideas?
TIA
I love the google maps app, but have found a problem. It seems to have added a function under the contacts menu for outlook contacts that allows you to search google maps for a saved address. Only problem is, I have yet to get it to work. I always get an error message saying the address doesn't exist. I've even gone so far as to type in my address, copy the address format directly from google maps itself, pasted it in to my contact and I still get the same error. Any ideas would be helpful. Thank you.

If I remember correctly, map4pda has a function to cache to your memory card. I don't use it anymore though, for that reason actually.

Yeah, the address location thing doesn't work for me either
It always says "Unable to locate: " then the address, exactly as it should be.
I'd imagine Google will fix it soon. I just checked for a new version but it's still the 1.0.1 version.

I have this problem too. I have GPRS disabled and I would like to keep multiple driving directions for offline viewing as well. Map4PDA and Google Maps doesn't seem to be able to save information for offline driving directions. I emailed the developer for Map4PDA to see if there was a way, but no response yet. Anyone have any ideas as to be able to do this? Thanks.
Google Maps is working great for me right now. Like stated previsously, contact's address does not work.
I also use Virtual Earth Mobile...another great mobile map application.
I would use map4PDA, but i don't want to have to install .NET CompactFramwork as it takes up a lot of space on my PPC. I've used it before, and it's great, but I'll just stick with Google Maps & VirtualEarthMobile.
wm6 and google maps? a match made in hell?
Wondering if anyone knows a solution to this problem. I am running Google maps and wm6 and was wondering if there was a way to get it to stop coming up with the following error; "This program requires a data connection, and will retry automatically. in the mean time, please check your signal strength. (error:wininetReadError [6])"
It still loads the maps after prompting me with this annoying error screen. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
My best regards,
Gio
I get the same error as capncucci. I never tried the program with WM5 so I can't say if it occured there or not.

When i connect my WM5 to the pc with active sync and i use googlemaps i sometimes get this error also.
Gmaps just cant connect to the internet, when i press ok, it will work.
So proberly your connection (with AC, GPRS, WiFi) to the internet isnt that reliable.
Hi
Sorry if this has been discussed, but I couldn't find anything.
I'm interested in buying an Optimus One and I would really like to know what GPS software can I install, because GoogleMaps is not an option where there's no 3G signal...
Is iGO available for Android?
I'm really new in Andoid stuff, just got rid of my good-for-nothing Nokia 5230 (Symbian really sucks, the only good thing in it was the OviMaps app).
I ude ndrive..it cost $ but the ui turn by turn a like alot.
hello 22VIN ,
on my optimus one, I have installed iGO My Way 8.4.2.13242 and Sygic Aura. both of them is working very well no need 3G, just GPS enabled. the gps receiver itself is very fast , sensitive & accurate. I recommend it.
Try Copilot or Navigon.

If iGO works this is the best solution for me, because iGO has a very complete map of Romania (this I know for sure, I don't know anything about the other software) and I am very familiar to the interface.
3G is useful for A-GPS, because you can get a position lock in a few seconds, but if you say the receiver is fast, then it's ok.
Thanks for the answers
No, just use the new google maps 5.0. Has offline caching now.

Yeah. But still isn't as good as iGO. Which does have an Android version, just as mr_ace_sk said. I'm using v8.4.2.124036 with maps from July 2010 on my LG P500. I'm pleased with this combination.

Here you go... Sorry for the delayed reply... This one is not the orignal one.. But its good.. You can use the 240MB India premium maps with this
And here is the original.
I use OruxMaps for the very reason that it supports full offline use. You prepare a map on the PC using mobile atlas creator (aka download maps from google maps or any provider, then create a file you can use on OruxMaps).
1. OruxMaps http://www.oruxmaps.com/index_en.html
2. MobAc http://mobac.dnsalias.org/
Downloaded my city's entire map from layers 16 - 18 xD I have never accessed the internet with my phone using OruxMaps for GPS stuff, and I have never manually cached stuff using the phone

That would be great. MEans no data connection or GPS required.
I plan to buy one in the next couple of days.
I was wondering, can I still use those maps if I switch to FLIGHT MODE? Or for initial fix A-GPS is a must.
I ask this question because many entry level phones have very poor GPS antenna, which means getting a cold fix without A-GPS can take 15-20 minutes, if not more.
Yes.. You can ...
Need india map file for ndrive
mod edit: Do not ask for warez. This is the last warning!
btw i am using google maps navigation feature it's 98% acurate

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?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...+play&pcampaignid=APPU_RYS7U77vILKM7AbBjICACg
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

Hi guys, I am completely lost and frustrated right now.
I bought a huawei honor note 8 . I was completelly sattisfied
with it until I tried to open the uber driver app.
It works the first time but when I open it the second time, the map shows my city name in chinese and the app asks for an update.
To work , right now, I have to uninstall uber driver, re installed it, open for the first time and keep it open cause if I close the app all that **** happens in a loop.
I am completely lost , everything I tried didn`t work , I found out there is an autonavi locations services that open with location, maybe thats the problem, but i cannot uninstall it, only disable . When I disable it , uber driver and all maps apps stop work and I got a message, "error, cant find your location".
I would appreciate some help casue I need to work and this phone is driving me crazy with this matter
