Try completely uninstalling the app and to a battery pull. Then download the link from this thread and install it. It works perfectly (now) on my AT&T 8310 (OS 4.2.2.194).

That's strange because Google itself is supporting the Pearl line (81xx) with this version. I can't imagine a difference between GSM and CDMA for this app...

What are the appropriate permissions? Does left key voice search still work if you have something assigned to the left key? I've got 'open contacts' on my left convenience key, and when I press it while GMaps is running, all i get is my contacts. I also tried it with the Gmaps search window open, and no dice.

thats what i thought too, but it doesnt work for me. it does read the latest version of google maps 2.2.1, but no voice search. i just tried it again by deleting, restarting, and then downloading google maps via this thread's link.

no matter what method i try...........on my 8300 with 4.5 i cannot get the voice part to work. always returns with could not connect or other errors

Success on ATT 8310 (BIS, 4.2.2.170). Removed GMM 2.2.0, restarted, downloaded and installed 2.2.1. First couple of tries yielded "Phone signal too weak", but next few have all worked.

Was too lazy to browse through the chain from my Blackberry, so I made this tinyurl: (stupid forum software won't let lurkers publish URLs -- too bad for y'all.)

Anyone know if it is ready for the 8830. I thought I read Google maps with voice search was released for other BB models and not the 8830 yet.

Thanks for details!

Then a few seconds later this popped up


I am however running OS 4.2 not 4.5

What are the persmissions or better said how can I set it up, thanks

[jorgeledesmadds]

downgraded to 4.2 and it works like a charm, its awesome

[andrewfay]

is there an issue with AT&T not allowing BB Maps

[MyPearl]

could not get it to work! does not recognise anything i say when i speak into it... I will delete and reinstall as i upgraded from 2.2.0 hope this works

[MyPearl]

Edit: clean install and still having issues. When i search for say "Pizza", it shows the word searching in the top right corner but then i get an error message "Google Map Can't Connect". I made sure all permissions are set to allow. the Gmaps app works fine otherwise.

thoughts?

It would appear that the Voice Search doesn't work on the CDMA version of the 8130. It requires version 4.3, but if you look in the Google Help, About/Info it will improperly report you have version 4.2 of the OS. This is going to be on the Sprint, Verizon and Alltel phones. If there is any one else on a CDMA carrier and your 8130 won't voice search, check Help About and see if your OS is properly reported.

Folks having problems should go to the Help group for Google Mobile Mapsa and complain. There is already a thread on it.

Just ran across this over at Crackberry.com. I installed it on my 8100 running 4.2 OS, and the voice search works.

Google Maps 2.2.2

Google Maps has gone to version 2.2.2 for the Berry. It's still early days as this has just been released... no word yet on what features are added, or which bugs have been fixed... But no doubt there has got to be a few new things in there!

The download doesn't appear to be available from the usual download location YET... But you can download direct to your Berry here: Google Mobile - Maps

There are also a couple other new items of interest too.

[Phranc]

They still haven't fixed the problems with CDMA 8130's. Voice command still doesn't work.

[DataCentre]

Here is the download for GM 2.2.2

For anyone that still cannot get voice search to work on their 8830 (or other device), try this:

1. Install the latest version of Google Maps (http://www.google.com/gmm/apps/v2.2....oss=1&eosr=on);
2. Launch Google Maps 2.2.2; and
3. Reset Google Maps (under the Help menu within the app).

I read about the "Reset Google Maps" on the Google Maps Mobile forum, and this is apparently the missing link!
