Looks like Google released a new version of GMM. No longer do I get those pesky wininetread errors.
The new version is 1.2.0.2
I'm running Shadow as well.
Here's the link I used from pocket ie: http://www.google.com/gmm
The file is called: googlemaps_compressed
PM
Do you have a linky at all?
Matt
Link to new Google Maps
http://www.google.com/gmm/GoogleMaps.CAB
...or just go to google.com on your phone and you should get a link to if from there on the home page...
Smiffy.

Guy, that's lazy.
And then noobs complain when other members are blunt.
Google is google, and the biggest search engine in the world. Google Maps Mobile is one of their most famous --and only PPC apps-- how could you or anyone else not find the App? Type Google Maps Mobile on your phone or PC?
Sorry, to put this in the spotlight but this is an obvious example why members get upset at new users and don't worry it is not just about you. Currently there are been an ongoing issue about Noobs.
Plays nice in WM6
This new version seems to work better in WM6 ... I can now drag my screen to move the map without the annoying data/refresh errors I used to get in the last version.
Good catch.
The initial version of the program was pretty unuseable due to the error messages.
Hope this version is better!

Street view is so rediculously stupid. In fact I was talking to a director at Google a couple of weeks ago and told him to stop focusing on that poc street view and fix gmm. GMM, after their search engine and maps is probably the most useful thing they have going.
I then proceeded to show him how gmm was incapable of finding the party we were trying to go to because of all the errors. We eventually got there. This new gmm came so quick after that incident... hmm I wonder...
Seriously though, street view??? Can you think of a singe legitimate use for it beyond the cool hey there's where I used to live in manhattan?

But no new features
Yes, the new GMM is nice, in that the wininet error is gone. I haven't played with it too much yet, but the one thing I DID notice is that there is still no hybrid view, with streets superimposed over a sat view.
Again, haven't played with it too much yet, but I haven't seen anything new, outside of the error fix. Has anyone noticed any new functionality?
-pvs
[EDIT] Well, I clicked around with it a bit, and while I AM happy they fixed the glitch, I'm saddened that they couldn't add a few new features, for instance:
1) Hybrid view, as mentioned above
2) The ability to move it's cache to a storage card
3) The ability to preserve my historical locations, searches and directions between upgrades
But again, I'm happy they fixed the wininet glitch. And I guess ... what do I want for free, right?

Ok, heres just one easy one to explain..say youre disabled, and you arent able to get around much for certain reasons etc..would give you a chance to kinda go exploring, and see things, which you otherwise wouldnt be able to....Im sure I can come up with a few more, thats just the easiest/quickest to explain.
btw, Sorry to wander offtopic.

Agreed, sorry to wander...
I'm just excited to try the new GMM.
How about a legitimate use for an average person. Everyone needs GMM, very few need street views. Street view is the kind of thing that seems cool and you can talk about at cocktail parties, but you will never use. I use mapping software nearly everyday. And if they get traffic working, could increase productivity in this country by millions if not billions of dollars.

yes. i love it. i live in nyc. now when i go somewhere that is unfamiliar i check it out on street view first so i know exactly what im looking for when i get there. i love it.
I will agree that the street view is not that important. It's more like a 'wow, this is cool' kind of feature.
All in all, this new release appears to be very stable. No annoying errors.
I think this is the future of GPS programs. It is much easier to distribute new maps when available, and add new features.
I envision a program similar to this which simply caches the maps you use most often on the device, and updates them via your data plan whenever an update is needed. If you go to a new city or state, the device starts caching the new area.
GPS works better. yey! You can now configure the GPS, so there's actually a chance of it working
new option in GMM
DTX is corrrect, there is now an option to specify which serial port your GPS is on unlike the previous version. I didnt find this useful because I always set my GPS up under Start-Settings-GPS but you do have an option now to over ride this setting.
I drove around all day yesterday trying out the new GMM to see if the WINNET error would reveal its ugly head and it didnt. I was even out in BFE yesterday and when I would loose cell coverage and then come back in the GMM went to work to catch me back up.
My only wish list thing would be to orient the map depending on which direction you are heading. This was a feature in Pocket Streets that I found very handy instead of playing a guessing game as to which direction to turn...
Enjoy!
Hi guys,
there is an application like G-Park for IPhone?
This application help you to remember where you have parking your car.
Do you know something like this for WM?

Just load Google Maps when you park your car, save the location. Then when you want to find it, fire up Google Maps and get directions. Thats all the iPhone app does more or less. Pointless app.

Very true.. but not so much use when roaming or when you have a bad data plan.

Very True, but it is exactly the same as G-Park.
I guess you could use TomTom which again would do the same, any GPS program that you have you can add a favourite then get directions to it.
if i remember right did tomtom not have last gps fix, i know i used it a few time when parking car in a big rally car park.

I use TT all the while in large car park / new town situations.
When you park 'add to favourite' and call it 'car parked'.
When you use it again in another instance you can simply overwrite the old fave with the same name / new location.
Hi all,
having previously owned an iP***e and having applications such as rightmove and findaproperty i would just like to know if anyone has come across any android apps that do this particular job. Im looking for a house at the moment and these apps really helped me out before getting a quick insight in to house details before rerquesting a viewing. I currently us layar to get the details but it is a very long winded way of doing it.
Any advice would be great
Very +1 on this. Also had no luck on finding a good property app.
Sent from my HTC Desire
there is a immoscout24 app but afaik it is only useable in germany.
I also know that the AR browser layar and the located based service app Aloqua has such services but I think only for germany, too.
you could use layar with the Find a Property Overlay... works kind of fine for me
Speaking as an estate agent, why don't you register with an agent, throughout all these different apps/websites, the agent can tell you about new ones straight away rather than u waiting til it appears on the net. Our bargains tend to sell before they hit the net.

Hi guys,
I have a few free apps in the Marketplace and I was wondering if you recommend a good ad network to be incorporated in free apps. A network that REALLY pays..
I have tried AdDuplex and AdMob, both I did not really like. Any other suggestions?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1438726
Sorry, I could not find it. Searching about ad networks almost always yeilds iPhone and Android topics.
Having looked at the thread, there isn't much for me in it. I live outside the coutnries covered by the Microsoft Ad area, so this is not a valid option for me now.

You should specify this in your question. We have no Nostradamus here It's important if you wanna be "REALLY PAID".
Yeah, I should've. Thanks anyway.

Hello,
does anyone have issues with the voice search not working as advertised on the keynote?
For example, asking "Who's is the Prime Minister of Japan" just returns a web search result and nothing else. No talking back.
It seems as though it's been disabled, can anyone confirm this?
Edit: Perhaps it's because I'm outside of the US? I'd love to hear back from users with Jellybean outside and inside the US.
Google Now/Search definitely talks back. I just tried that right now. Have you enabled all the features in keyboard/typing and search settings? Try a restart also after

Must be because you are in Us.
Here in new Zealand I can confirm no speech, have yet to try via USA based proxy.

Works for me in .au if I ask it the exact same question as in the first post "Who's is the Prime Minister of Japan"

I can but i m not very familiar with the file name if u do tell me i ll extract and give u
Alright so I can confirm. Once I went home I was able to get it to talk back and respond to some basic questions, such as "weather" and "who is prime minister of x".
Anyone have any other cool questions you asked that Google responds to? For example, currency conversion doesn't respond back to me, just shows me search.
Although I can never get the mapping questions to show up. "Map of gas stations near me", or "Map of closest 7 eleven"
Also, my Google Now shows no results.
Confirmed working over here in Australia. Pretty cool actually. Now excuse me I've got a bus full of iPhoneys to show off to!
I can't get it to talk, it just shows me some googlelinks here in germany :/

For me it didn't work at my job. I'm assuming because of proxies or something? Not entirely sure. Try using 3G and try restarting your phone once too..

I'd appreciate it too.
when I change every language-setting to english it works.
Seems a bit hit or miss.
Ask who the prime minister of japan is and i get voice and images etc. Ask who it is for england and i get a google search.
Also, sending texts, settings alarms etc doesn't work

For England if you ask, "Who is the Prime Minister of UK" it works.
For SMS I say, "Send text to Dad I'm going to be late today" works for me.
For Alarm, I say, "Set and Alarm for 430 am tomorrow" also works.
Fun think to try, "What is the answer to life, the universe and everything" you get, "42"
Other things I've noticed:
"Where are all the petrol stations near me" works. Whereas, "where are all the gas stations near me" didn't. Then slowly, over time, as I used it more they started to work.
It seems like something is going on in the servers at ol google.
