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.

Google Maps 2.3.2 Released - No Change Log | BerryReview.com »

Anyone notice any changes from prior version?

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 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.

[akosnitzky]

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

[BobMarley]

Sorry, re-read the article, it enables it on the Storm.

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!!!!!

[fonejunkie]

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.

Just downloaded Google Maps on my Storm. Maybe I'm just used to the format, but I found it much more responsive than the Blackberry Maps application (think MapQuest from the early '90s). And street view does look nice. I'll give BBmaps another shot when I'm driving around.
