A freaking amazing!

New feature called my location uses gps or radio tower triangulation!!!!!!!!!!!!

Holy cow!

No voice or turn by turn, but I think the directions will pop up as you move along with gps.

This is huge

radio tower you say? Nice feature for VZW customers and those without internal GPS

Is this on the GMM site?

I can't get it to even come up on my 8310. I'm doing a battery pull now to see what happens.

I got it on my 8830, BB was lagging a little bit after I installed it but its loaded now.. look pretty neat, will mess with it more later when I have better reception..

Laggings not the word I'm thinking. As soon as I click on Google Maps, I can't do ANYTHING else on it.

Kewl! Loaded on my 8310, which has GPS. But it nailed my location with the radio towers, *inside* my office building. Even shows you a coverage circle.

Here's what it looks like:

just loaded it on my 8820... Works great....the find my location feature seems almost instantaneous now

That's actually an approximate location. Watch the video on this page. The light blue circle is showing you the approximation of where you are. If it has you pinned down to a set location (via internal GPS), you will only see a small dark blue dot.

Do you have your internal GPS enabled? If so, you shouldn't be seeing that light blue outer circle.

Everyone's 8310 that installed it here turned into a brick when they tried to run it. Nothing responded at all and the only way to fix it was to pull the battery. Everyones removing it now and I'm pushing out the older version.

This is pretty cool. I have my GPS enabled on my 8820, but can never get a signal in my office building. The cell tower approximation nailed my location. It'll be interesting to see how it transitions when I go outside and pick up a real GPS signal.

Works fine on my 8310, much quicker.

I've got 10 of them sitting on my desk now that users brought to me asking why their BB's are frozen until they pull the battery now after loading it. Another 10 remote users have all emailed me asking the same thing. I have 1 of them that's been sitting on my desk waiting for the app to even come up after clicking on it almost an hour ago.

This version (2.0.0) is working great on my 8820 inside the building I work at.

Just updated to GM 2.0 on my 8703e (OS 4.2.1) on VZW. Comes up with my approx. location - WOW!!!!

Where did you get it?
Ddd
download

www.google.com.gmm is the download page.

Or (from your BB) maps.google.com - download link is at the top.

Downloaded fine in my Sprint 8830. Found me inside my building - very cool!

This is awesome for us VZW users w/o VZNav. Just did a search for Starbucks and it showed the closest one a few blocks away!!!

They don't have the .zip file up for the BESAdmin's to download it, does someone have the files they can zip up so I can try to push it out to mine from the BES? I can't even download it from by BB anymore.

Thanks. Just downloaded it. It's awesome!

Entirely new search results system too.

Liking it so far.

I am in a bldg with poor reception and it pinpointed me within 500 ft.

Yep, and I like it.

And it seems like many of the issues with the 1.6.x builds are gone - Calling persmissions and other bugs.

Holy Cow! It posted my location when in my home as just down the street from me about 1/8th mile away. Here's the kicker. I don't have radio tower signal here at the house. I am UMA only. In fact, EDGE/GSM drops right about where it has my approximate location tagged... That's amazing; it must grab some kind of cache of where the last known radio spot was!

p.s. I'm on a 8320 with TMO (no GPS) and I didn't wipe older version of Google Maps. Just installed the new and check OK for http connections for Googles Maps....

Does anyone have the alx files since I can't seem to get them off the site? I have people screaming at me because it's not working for them. I just talked to another admin at the suite next to us and he said they are having the same issues also.

I am really, REALLY, loving the updates for this application! Google Maps was great (IMO) before this upgrade, but WOW!!

The searching and updating the maps (zooming in/out, pan) is faster, too!

Excellent job, Google!

No issues here with it on my 8310/AT&T.

Works good all except placing me about 1/4 mile from where I am.

When I opened it up, the entire screen was blue with the circle and the dot. I figured out that it has me out in the ocean. I live a few miles from the shore.

You may need one of these.

ok this is screwed up, after trying at least a dozen times, it finally loaded on my 8310 and 2 more. But the rest is still timing out. I wish they would post the zip files at Google Maps so I can push it out from the BES.

Good one

Now it's showing me a few miles in the other direction, on a highway.

Works with my AT&T 8100.
Inside the office building, is show it is with 1400 meters. With the satellite view, it shows my location as the parking ramp next to the building I'm in. I can see the parking lot out the window.

That sound you hear is all the VZW people fainting now.
