Hey, i wanted to download the new google maps app on my HD, because it has latitude (option to see where friends are). But I cant get on the download site of google by any means.
I go to http://m.google.com/maps on my hd, i get a screen with the google maps icon, and title, and a buttons 'visit now' i click that, and it takes me to the default google search engine page. On my computer I have only found this link:
http://www.google.com/mobile/gmm/index.html
but the download this cab link on the bottom is dead.

Works for me - BUT - you have to use the links in Internet Explorer not Opera.

Happy to announce that the new google maps app works VERY well on the Touch HD.... it has latitude in it, Googles new locator service that helps you keep tabs on your friend.s.. not for everyone but useful nonetheless... it is also slicker looking than the previous version... dont have a cab but if you go to http://m.google.com/latitude from ie on your phone, you will be prompted to download automatically.
How to Download Google Maps
I had a little trouble downloading google maps and discovered that opera doesn't direct you to the correct place - use explorer if you're having problems
m.google.com/latitude

THANKS for the tip. I tried this earlier today using (of course) Opera and it did not work.
Works fine in IE and the application looks interesting.
Its quite good fun, I like it
oh and it doesn't work on the iPhone as yet
Ok so I got my phone for a few weeks now and I really enjoy it but I found something a little weird.
First thing I noticed is that i had Maps v4.0.0 installed and I thought all Desire's come with the latest 4.1.1.
I said no problem, I'll just go to the market and get it from there, but I realized that searching for Google Maps didn't find it, I found Sky Map, Map Editor and other stuff from Google and other but no Maps, nowhere.
Why is that? Is the android market localized by where you are? And if so, isn't Maps supposed to be available everywhere?
Because of the older version I don't even have the Maps Live Wallpaper that I saw in so many reviews.
Then I went online and download it manually and installed it (and I even got the Live Wallpaper), but because of this it doesn't show in my "Downloads" tab in Market and there's no way for it to notify me if there is an update.
Even on Goole Maps for mobile homepage it says "Tap Maps on the home screen. Search for "Google Maps" in Android Market to update."
1. Why don't I have it in Market?
2. How can I get it to notify for an update?
Looks like a localisation issue, when I updated Google maps I just did it from the downloads tab in Market.
If it is a localization issue, is there a way to change it?
Not sure if this has been covered but came accross this site earlier.

I know have full voice search on my desire and don't have to type an address in Google maps, I just tell it where I want to go.
Some good tips on the site.
*Sigh*
on the other hand you could use the official Google Maps which has full Navigation.
From that link...
EDIT: Please not that as of today 21/04/2010. Googe HAVE implemented turn by turn navigation for the UK. Simply use the default maps app that came pre-installed on your device to use this functionality.

I think you are missing the point, you can search the destination by voice using the google maps.
The link I submitted has a section to replace the Desire keyboard .apk with a voice search enabled one.
You mean this one?

Vague link...
Guys, I love my Surface RT but the only thing that's missing for me is, well Google chrome of course, but since we can't get that (yet) I wonder if there is a translate function within IE just like Google chrome? Or is there a plugin available which I can install by jailbreaking my device?
I know that I can translate a website via Google translate website but its not working correctly for me.
Desktop-mode only, but IE has a feature called "accelerators" that let you highlight some text, then click a button (or press-and-hold or right-click on the text) and translate it, search it, map it, whatever. It's had this for about as long as Google Chrome has even existed, in fact! By default it uses the Bing services, but that's fully customizable. Tools -> Manage Add-ons -> Accelerators -> Find More Accelerators... will let you get to the Google ones, for example

Amazing both of them works better than via Google translate. Still waiting on a function like Google Chrome that translates it automatically but for now this option with the bookmark is the best!
Fingers crossed for a browser choice in win8.1
When I clicked a link like this:
http://www.google.com/maps/dir/....
It opens in Chrome.
How can I make it to open in Google Maps by default?
It used to open in Google Maps, but not anymore.
And I cannot remember that I changed anything on my phone.

Maybe see if chrome is set to default by chance. Then clear the defaults. Can't explain why it happened, just a possible solution is all.
