Google Maps

I'm actually having issues with it, when I search for things, it's just says "searching..." and does nothing.

 

I too have the same issue...at first I didn't even have the icon for maps and then I did a factory reset and the icon appeared but now i have this problem

 

Market shows "Free" vs. "installed" and it's version 4.3.0. The maps that came with BB v.04 is also 4.3.0. I haven't tried to dl maps form the market but I imagine it would fail.

Edit: Just tried and it downloaded fine but failed on install.

 

Same here for me... one time it worked then nothing. Searching is all I see.

I am running bb .4, chevy 1.1 ulv, no theme.

 

This seemed to work to fix the map issue for me. If you don't already have Terminal Emulator on your Droid, get it. Make sure you get the one by Jack Palevich, then do this:

su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 dev/block/mtdblock4 system
busybox rm system/app/Maps.apk
cd system/bin
sh pm uninstall com.google.android.apps.maps

[I had to reset the terminal emulator at this point, not sure if you will]

cd ..
cd ..
mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 dev/block/mtdblock4 system
sync

Then you can download and install Google Maps from the marketplace.

EDIT: This is from my friend who is not a droid newbie like myself. Worked for me on BB.4 with Nextheme.

 

i had the same problem. i just went to the navigation app and turned on my gps then exited it and went back to maps and worked just fine. weird.

 

Same here. And I'm lost.

 

having the same issue on bb.4

 

Wow that actually worked for me lol..it loads a bit slow at first but works none the less....very awkward problem

 

This! It worked for mine. Downloaded maps from the market without a hiccup after entering those commands

 

My maps was slow for me all day then this afternoon it started working fine again all of a sudden. Maybe I inadvertently did something to fix it or there was a problem with the network.
