Here Is A Link If You Are Interested In Downloanding, Its Right Below Enjoy
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.
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.
Hi guys
Did anyone update their google maps recently? my phone pushed through a message saying there is a new google map available so i was like "Why not". Now that i did, google maps wont load at all, its just stuck at loading (Though for the first second there is packets sent and received on the 3G network)
I have tried uninstalling the update (But maps still wouldn't work) and re-installing the update (But it still wouldn't work). Does anyone know what to do?
Many thanks ahead if you do know the answer cause maps is one of my commonly used app to navigate around.
Mine loads perfectly fine, even after the recent update... no idea what could be the problem with yours
I updated to OTA 4.3 a couple of days ago, having cleared Google Services Framework to trigger it. (N4 is totally stock BTW)
Seemingly this has the side effect of flushing the N4 from the My Devices list at Google play https://play.google.com/settings?hl=en
After the update I had to Remove my Google Acc from the N4 and log back into it again to get the play store functioning again. Over twenty four hours later and still no sign of my N4 back in My Devices though.
Q. Will my N4 eventually return to the My Devices list spontaneously, or is there something else I must do, to have this happen?
Have you tried to install an app from google play on your N4 ? Just my guess, maybe that would "tell" google that you've got a new device. I could be wrong though...

Yes I have. I can successfully install apps from Play on the N4. I cannot of course from the PC because my N4 is not listed any more ;-(
Still no sign of my N4 in the same google account when accessed from a web browser on my desktop. In there I can see my Nexus 1, My Xoom and old HTC desire . But no N4.

I have the same problem,after I cleared Google Services Framework,both my nexus 7 and nexus 4 disappeard from the "My Devices" list at Google play,but after logging back,only my nexus 7 returned to the "My Devices" list at Google play.I tried to install apps in my nexus 4,but still no sign of my nexus 4 in the "My Devices" list
Good to see I am not Robinson Crusoe at least.
Seems it is an artifact of clearing Google Services Framework on the N4 only. Wonder why it is only seemingly effecting the N4 and when and if it will sort itself out. Perhaps after the individual device number is due for its OTA in the rollout.
I have the same issue, went to download something from the play store via the desktop (easier to search and read about the app) and I don't have any devices listed. I did clear the Framework to try and force the update but that did not work
Can still download from the play store on the device

Remove your Google account in settings, then re-add it.

As mentioned in post #1 this does not fix the problem. If only it did the issue would not exist.
From time to time I see the following dialog on my N4...
"Unfortunately the process com.google.android.gsf.login has stopped."
I guess this is related somehow. Any other suggestions (other than hard reset)?
Well, rather than removing my account, I did a factory reset on phone,
Booted with 4.3 already installed and after several hours of my first app install via my phone, I still don't have a device when looking via my Chrome on the desktop.
Will check in the morning (approx 12 hours) and see what happens.
I've had the same issue for a few days now, so I decided to use Market Helper (usually used to fake your device model) to tell the store that I have a nexus 4 (which it is). This placed it back into the play store instantly.
It's strange as my phone (fresh install of 4.3 using the Google images) appears fine in Google Play on my PC

In my case I was on 4.3, decided to root the device, so backed it up and then put 4.3 on. Then I restored the backup I had. It could be the restore that caused me issues rather than 4.3...
Still no luck for me ... Been more than 12 hours since I did a fresh install and have used the play store many times on the phone and my device does not appear. Rather annoying
Seems this issue is not going to get fixed any time soon. After several days no sign of my N4 with 4.3 re-appearing in Google Play. I dont think it will get fixed until Google get their Sh1t together and fix it their side.
Managed to log a support case with Google Play last night, the person I spoke said she had seen the issue as well but 4.3 solved for her.

That doesn't sound very promising. Are they going to get back to you with a fix any time soon?
Wonder if it would help if more of us log the same fault and cross reference your support case number. So they can see it is not isolated.

Not just N4 it's my N7 MIA
Found this thread when looking for almost the same problem. For me it's my Nexus 7 that is AWOL after the 4.3 OTA update. My Nexus 4 is still there.
My Nexus 4 received the update first, and was still there after the update as I used the play site to find and install the Privacy manager app.
A few days later my Nexus 7 updated, and it is now missing from My Devices and the symptoms seem to be the same as everyone here is reporting with their N4.
So it seems that it's not just the N4 that is affected.
Reply from Google - is your phone rooted?
My reply - no
Back to waiting.

After i installed BOB7 update (did a complete re-install) the smartlock function dont work at all. I can add places and bt device, but still have to use pattern. Did work before BOB7 (NL9 was it?)....
I am a bit unsure if the play services has ben updated just this week and thats the reason?! I always get 2 google play services stopped working at each boot.
Hate lollipop :crying:
I habe a similar problem. With my Nexus10 and my S5 smart-lock is not OK with GPS since Google Play Services 7.0.
Nexus 10 runs with Android 5.1 and the S5 with BOB7.
I wait for update of play services.

Same version 93(with suffix 436 and 438) on both devices.
With bt smartlock is ok with S5 in my car.
Urk! Google is sure messing with us with lollipop. Miss kitkat :crying:
I have .96 today. Still 2x google play services errors on startup and no smartlock functionality...
Smart-lock is OK again at Nexus10 and S5 without any change at my side.
Don't know why, but its good anyway.

I just loaded G900FXXU1BOA3 on my S5 - SM-G900F and was very disappointed to see only trusted devices in smartlock..... wanted to use trusted face / or trusted places. Played around by uninstalling updates for play services and then re-installing. At one stage the trusted places suddenly was available. I tried loading latest play services from apk mirror: 7.0.93 (1778921-438), now my trusted places has disappeared again, so it seems to be somehow part of the play services, that controls this feature I guess. Seems this feature is not properly working for a lot of people judging by forums etc.

I have found out that the reason i get two google play services has stopped errors is the smartlock. So this has to be a google play services bug.

I had this problem when I installed XtreStoLite ROM (BOB7) Coming from Stock (BOB3). Couldn't get Smart Lock to work from a trusted place (the way I use it). I did many things trying SmartLock to work, and I think one worked for me.
Here's what I did: When you open Trusted Places, usually there's a home address there, and it should work with that one, so I added one more address to my trusted places, this time using the GPS, so the address wasn't quite right (actually it's my neighbour's addres).
Then after a minute it worked. No more unlocking my phone with my fingerprint when I'm at home.
I still need to wait for a couple minutes after every boot for this to work. What I think has worked for me also, is open an app that uses GPS (e.g. Maps or any weather app) in my case I use 1Weather. I think by doing this, currently location is updated and that way Smart Lock can work.
By the way, I still get a Google Play Services has stopped on every boot.
Don't know if this will work for somebody else, but I hope it does :good:

Thanks, I just did this on my N4 and it worked. Google has always thought I lived a few houses down the street. :highfive:
I've noticed that when I'm inside my house the Trusted Places thinks I'm actually in the middle of the street so my actual location falls outside the circle of "Home".
Added a new location that covers my driveway and sidewalk, and now it works.
Seems like this issue is fixed in the .97 release of google play services and to add a second trusted place at the same spot. I have no more play services stopped at boot anymore either.

I have issues with inconsistent or I'd rather say "almost not working" Smart Lock too. I have OC4 deodexed/rooted and set up lockscreen with fingerprint/password/pin/pattern. Despite of trying to scan my fingertips several times with different angles and stuff it still works so-so for pointing fingers and kinda bad for one-handed use with a thumb! BUT I'd better keep device secured (may be with pin or pattern) in case of lost or stolen phone with all my banking info and things like that will be available right away with a swipe! Smart lock/trusted places isn't working for me! I tried to downgrade/upgrade maps, play services, remove/add nearby places like next 2-3 houses but nothing helped. And apparently gps connection/location detection doesn't work instantly and shows my location in a circle of 20 blocks or so! BT trusted devices and on-body detection doesn't seem to work either... Any known workaround or temp fix?
