There is a sticky thread in the beta you than me forum that tells all about it.

Yes, your admin has to fix it by removing you from the application control policy.

Link please? I keep getting 2.2.2 on all possible links

on your bb, go to "http://www.google.com/gmm"

Clear your browser cache, too.

Can someone please clarify what everyone refers to by "browser cache"? I see Content Cache, Pushed Content, and Cookie Cache. Which one do I need to clear? I'm asking because it's a pain to clear cookie cache and have all of my logins forgotten.
And I'm still only getting 2.2.2 as well.

Content cache

Menu - refresh.

Yeah, that too!! Good call.

Content cache + refresh didn't work. I also did a soft reset for good measure. Whatever, maybe someday it will magically work.

Dunno if it matters, but it says I have a "Blackberry 42." I'm running 4.5 so I think it would at least say 43..?

Thanks, but I did everything suggestd ands still have the same problem, just like tbhuang2. I'll stick with 2.2.2 for now which, btw, has voice working.

The voice search in GMM 2.2.2 does NOT work at all with OS 4.5, at least in my experience. GMM 2.2.3 does NOT have the voice search feature. Maybe since Google couldn't make it work for all 'berries in all situations, they pulled the feature from the software ???

I guess I'm staying with 2.2.2 as well...voice commands working great every time for me.

Original 8100 Pearl, OS: 4.2.0.71

Not as nice as the TellMe app, IMO. Pretty cool when using satellite view though, as it takes you right to the search result on the map along with all the other info. Maybe this will be a voice command option(down the line when/if they get it working for all BBs in later versions) if a Bold compatible version of TellMe never gets released.

Another cool thing regarding the satellite view: if you use the voice command for say, ace hardware, it shows all the locations in town on the map. Not bad.

Edit:

After playing around for a few minutes the Google voice command has more "toys" to play with than the TellMe app. I'd probably use it in situations when I'm not driving. Pretty fun to play with. The TellMe app has a bare bones map feature. TellMe looks very professional but aside from that will be much better for use when driving. Larger text, easier to read and fewer clicks to make the call.

Edit again: I may have to uninstall as it seems to be interfering with the TellMe app. I get a connection not available message, which I've never gotten before with TellMe. Bummer.

another edit: nope, soft reset fixed the issue, both working. All is right in my voice command world.

AF1

Just one more question....is that new for OS 4.5? I never had trouble with Gmaps before I installed it.

I downloaded version 2.2.3 and now it shows my location as India??????? Can anyone please explain why?
I am in the US. Version 2.2.0 worked fine with my finding location.

Hmmm... The App works but won't show my Location?

Am I missing something? lol I mean, I'm in the middle of nowhere, but I should still be showing up. Do I have to enable my GPS somehow?

Damn Bell Mobility!

does this program require you to have a data plan or can it be used without one?

Is the google site down? I dont get the link to download the file. I am able to Open the site but the download button is not visible.

kindly Guide.

is there away to use the trianglation of google to maps to find someone else location, beside your own? i have kids and this would be a great benfit to tell where they are and if there doing what there susposed to be doing

thanks

It uses data... lots and lots of data to download the maps as you move around your city/town/world.

How can i make it not to blank my screen?
I want to make a display to be highlighted all the time.

There is nothing like this in options.

It's really uncomfortable when i'm driving.

2.3.1 is out. Has a new icon. Have it on an 8830 running 4.5.0.77. So far it's loading satellite view noticeably faster than previous versions.

Finally... Street view for the Blackberry in v 2.3.1. Very nice and street view actually loads fast!

Hi,

Googlmaps 2.3.1 rocks.

Here's the alx file I created and links for the cods for folks who can't ota install and need to install from their desktop (This works for my 8800 with googlemaps 2.3.1).

Download the cods (all 8 of them). from here:-

m.google.com/gmm/apps/v2.3.1/L1/BlackBerry-43/GoogleMaps.cod
....
m.google.com/gmm/apps/v2.3.1/L1/BlackBerry-43/GoogleMaps-8.cod

Copy and past the following (below the dashed line) into a text file and call it something like googelmaps.alx in the same directory as you have saved the downloaded cods.

Then run your desktop manager and pick the alx.

Anyone notice any changes from prior version?

ya it works...thank you very much

Google has provided a .alx package for the new version for BES deployment. It works with Desktop Manager as well:
www google.com/mobile/gmm/bes.html
Scroll down to the grey section.

Extract it, and copy the .cod from the folder matching your software version into the directory with the gmm232.alx file. When you run AppLoader, click Add and select the .alx.

NOTE: There are .cod files for each rev of BB Software version up to 4.7, with the exception of 4.5. This package will not work with BB Software version 4.5.

I'm downloading it now as we speak. i just got a blackberry and this website rocks!

has anyone tried google maps on the new 8350i & been successful w/ my location??

Google Maps 3.0.1 is now out.

Wirelessly posted (Its All About the U!)

I read it GPS enabled for Storm users. I was hoping other VZW users would benefit

I read that it does unlock for vzr users!

I will definitely try with my 8330 shortly.

No. As expected the GPS did NOT work on the VZW 8330

Sorry, re-read the article, it enables it on the Storm.
Google Maps v3.0.2 Enables GPS On The Storm | BerryReview.com »

GMM 3.0.2 works for 8350i & for the storm.

I have installed a previous version on a verizon curve & it work. Not saying it works across the board as it appears several people have had major issues w/ it.

I must say, GMM (& street view) looks REALLY NICE on the large screen of the storm!!!!! Very jealous!!!!!

It works fine on my Curve (8310)...

Donloaded it and it sucks. No voice. I put a destination in and intentionally took another street and the damn thing didnt even recalculated the route. The Telenav is way better, and the Google maps has no voice command either.

Telenav costs $$$(monthly subscription fee) google maps does not. Price you pay.
