Google Maps update - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

There seems to be an updated version of the Maps application on the Market according to some tech sites. Is there a way for those of us with a gnex and in a country where maps is unavailable to get the update? Maps is a big battery hog for me and the new update is supposed to fix just that.

Gmail isn't compatible with Galaxy Nexus?

Anyone have any ideas why Gmail in the Market is saying it isn't compatible with my device?
I'm in Costa Rica for work but Market Enabler doesn't solve it.
Can you check Gmail on the market today?
I have the stock T-Mobile 4.0.2 just rooted, that's all.

Doesn't your phone already have Gmail on it...

Of course, but I need the market to download updates for the app!

The version in the market is different than the ICS version - you wouldn't want to install it on your GNex because it is older!
I'm sure Google will update it eventually to include the ICS compatibility, but for now, you have the latest and greatest version on your phone already.
Exactly, same is true of the YouTube and Voice Search App.

Smart update on JB??

I'm now using JB but the update still download the entire apk instead of only the changes.. Or am I missing something?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Dunno if they've started that yet. And I don't think that's JB specific iirc. Thought I remember it being 2.3 and above. Its all handled on Google's end.

Sounds like it is enabled on all apps by default on anything 2.3 and up:
For Android devices with the Google Play, we launched the following at Google I/O today:
Smart app updates: For Android 2.3, Gingerbread devices and up, when there is a new version of an app in Google Play, only the parts of the app that changed are downloaded to users’ devices. On average, a smart app update is a third the size of a full apk update. This means your users save bandwidth and battery and the best part? You don’t have to do a thing. This is automatically enabled for all apps downloaded from Google Play.

No. No release date. My best guess is that it will coincide with the actual release of JB later this month.

Older google maps apk

Does anyone have the older google maps apk, possibly from last couple of months? The most recent one is crap. I'm on vacation and it just told me to literally turn into a 1 way highway. And its keeping my phone from going into deep sleep, even when uninstall, I have to reboot to fully get rid of it. Any help is appreciated

Not accessable anymore

Google Wallet

I have an unrooted/unlocked (bought from Google Play) Galaxy Nexus running 4.1.1 (JRO03C) updated through the OTA, but it does not have Google Wallet. Everywhere I read about the features in 4.1, they mention Google Wallet, including their features page.
The app does not show up on the phone, and on the computer it says "This app is incompatible with your Samsung Galaxy Nexus."
Is this normal? Is it happening to anyone else?

Yea, I'm in the US
odd. If you bought it from the Google Play store it should be takju. I purchased mine a month ago and it's takju with wallet installed.
If you go to Google maps, settings > About > What's listed under Device?
I have UK version and I am in the us and gw downloads fine from playstore

samsung yakju.
And @tdoughone I don't want to install it if its not from the app store since creditcard data is sensitive information.
Also: I bought it 1 day before it went off the market because of the lawsuit, I decided not to root it because 4.1.1 would be coming soon.
I'm sure someone will chime in if I'm incorrect but from I've read yakju is the International version where GW is not available. That's why I believe it isn't there.
If you want GW on it, I believe you'll need to flash it with a rom or install a takju image.
Wrong I have yakju and gw

Thanks for correcting me td. Did you purchase yours from the Play Store as well with yakju?
