When i go to the gmm site on my pc to download it says my phone # is invalid and when i use the browser on my 8310 it gives me a 404 site not found error.

Any ideas?

I was using the t-mobile zen theme which didn't show compass movement. I switched to the at&t theme and now it moves.

The GPS locator in google maps app is really giving me fits though. The first time I started it up after install, it pin pointed me with 10 meters. I started farting around with the app(directions, turning my location on and off) and now it only can approximate my location. I have turned it on and left it outside for ~20min. Tried the battery pull... But it still cannot accurately locate me.

I am gonna try and uninstall and re-install.

Interesting. I'm on T-Mo Zen and have compass movement.

On the BB, which browser are you using? Rogers WAP or BlackBerry Browser?

I alternate between the 2 on occasion to get around these errors.

I'm using Opera. I just don't understand why on Googles site it says my phone number is invalid.

i have same problem with mine 8110 i try to scane satellite but no luck then i install google map but shows me message 'network unavailable this application requires a data connection some blackberry devices require reconfiguration ' what can i do thank's

Update: Google Maps started pin pointing my location (within 3 meters) yesterday around 5pm Central time. Woohoo

Not sure what caused it to start working. Maybe the satellites where busy when i tried it earlier.

still new to this whole BB thing. I went in and turned the GPS from 911 only to on. Im with Verizon, and using google maps it seems to be working (showed my location to within 5000 meters. Am i correct in assuming the GPS google maps works with Verizon??

oh, this is the first app. ive attempted to d/l. hopefully i did it right. damn i can tell im no phone geek! LOL!

You are only getting cell tower triangulation, not gps. GPS will not work with Google Maps on Verizon.

ahhhhhhhh......ok. so all its showing is the towers around me, basically.

It shows transit connections, but does not yet have the nifty "click on the bus stop to find out when the next bus arrives" feature offered on the PC version.

About as sexy as transit gets, frankly.

does this need to use the internet over the phone because i dont have a data package. if it does need that - is there one that doenst need the data package to work?

im with rogers

Yes, a data plan is required. Luckily I have Bell's $30/mo unlimited data and email plan!

They all need data plans. There is no good mapping app that doesn't need a data plan.

ugh wont work for my bb curve 8330 sprint. says will not work with your RIM device when i go to the google mobile map download

I'm definitely diggin it! The old version could pinpoint me anyway, but this is great!

does this support old bb like 8700?
thanks

Where can I DL version 2.1?

GMapsMobile 2.2.1 is pretty sweet app, but it could be better. How?

1) The ability to send 'my favourites' off the phone via email or SMS. It'd be a great way to convey directions to a meeting to someone. Provided that they too are a GMM user, of course.

2) The ability to send my favourites to / from a desktop, again via SMS or email.

3) I really like the transit directions on 2.2.1, but on Gmaps desktop, you can zoom in on an individual bus stop, and when you click on it, get the time that the next bus will arrive. I don't know about other cities, but in Vancouver, GMM doesn't allow this - yet. This week I found myself riding the Skytrain, trying to determine if I'd make my bus connection at the station, and as my location changed, GMM kept re-assessing my route. It would have been easier to click on the stop and get the departure times at that location only, instead.

Any other comments or suggestions?

1)The ability to track and recalculate.

2)The ability for the program to give me voice notification of turns.

Version 2.2.2 has been released. The Voice Search on CDMA Pearl phones still doesn't work. It erroneously detects the OS as 4.2. Pearls (8130) shipped with 4.3.

Is there any ota link available?

when i go to google.com/gmm i still get 2.2.0

This still freezes up on my pearl with OS 4.5. That true for other people too?

Teg, Windows live search works with WiFi, you just can't use the GPS part of it.
I'm supprised how well Live Search maps works. To bad google doesn't work with wifi.

Still VERY inconsistent results with the voice search on my 8310 w/ 4.5 OS.

Does anyone else have a problem with voice searching and it complaining that it can't connect? Regular searching and map downloading work great but I can't seem to voice search.

I can't get the voice search to work either (running Google Maps 2.2.2). It alternates between telling me it "can't connect" and "your phone signal is too weak." I don't believe either of those because regular text searching works fine and my phone signal is usually at 3+ bars.

I think it might be OS 4.5 on the device that's causing the problem.

On a related note, ever since version 2.0 of Google maps, if you're using the O2 today theme, you can't see what you're typing in the search box. Something about the theme makes the text white on a white background. It's annoying and there's no workaround other than changing the theme.

The text issue can only be fixed by changing the theme because the theme IS causing the problem. The text option is for white within the theme... the background color cannot be changed in the theme, but the text color can.

2.23 is out now...

My only question from now on will be whether it works with OS 4.5!

Th only time it doesn't woek is if you have an application control policy on your BES

I think I must, b/c none of the versions have worked except 1.6.4 since I installed OS 4.5.

Is this something my administrator has to fix?

If you are referencing what I posted I don't think this applies to me. I'm not on a BES and I just did a wipe of my device and restored just my data from my backup. No settings, just the data. No go. Still same messages stating weak signal or can't connect.

Strange, 2.2.3 has no voice search?

Nope, not for me.

Last two versions had the voice option, which didn't work on my phone. This new version does not have the voice option.

Anyone?
