Anyone download the new maps? I just received the update via the play store last night ... downloaded it and it's slow as heck! Runs much slower (fps-wise) than the previous maps. Also several features are hidden / removed...
Thoughts?
EDIT: Added APK
http://www1.datafilehost.com/d/920483f4
Map Caching still there
Map Caching is still there... but its an easter egg right now...
Search for "Okay Maps" and it'll copy it to the clipboard, aka the cache.

The first link below is for the Article about the Update for Google Maps. It also contains a link to the apk. The second link is for more information explaining about the features that are missing.
Google Maps v7.0.0
New Google Maps Offline Maps Still available
so this update removes Navigation and incorporates it into the maps app, then tells you that the "maps navigation" is in beta and to use caution. nice

All the links I have tried have had issues parsing the apk. People say it is only working on 4.2.2. That is why I asked him to upload the apk, and sure enough it works perfect and I'm on 4.1

Well WTH! I wonder why it seems so sluggish on my phone. I just ran a quick quadrant test to make sure everything is running up to snuff and got a nice ~5600 or so, so no issues there. Everything else seems in line, and the old maps ran fine too.
So you don't find the frame rate to be slow or anything? I wonder what the heck is going on with my phone. Perhaps I should reboot after updating..

I'm wondering why the features besides caching map data found in labs appear to all be missing. I'm particularly missing the "measure" feature that allows me to measure distance as the crow flies between any two points. I'm also bummed about the bigger text option disappearing. Obviously there are lots of cool new features and I love the new interface but wish they didn't remove features that were already buried in the labs section.

Network errors means the search server is having issues or was shut down. Give it a few hours or a few days and see if it starts working again.

I have no idea m8y sorry.....did you get them from my source..?
The First/Top one..?
One suggestion if i may ..delete or rather uninstall any previous/older versions you have on your device first then do a clean install.!
I always delete old versions of anything before installing new ones, unless they have auto update..!
In my defence i must admit i have a pretty fair knowledge after a few years on IOS crapple...!!!!!
I have had my Devices a Samsung S3 phone and my Samsung Tab2 .10.1 wifi+3g for about 11 days...
So still getting to grips with all this Android stuff its very different from IOS.
OK..so try what i suggested and delete old versions first , restart Device and re-install the new versions..!
i have this version on both my Devices runnig nice and smooth.!
Hope it works for you.!:good:

There instructions are well put and i basically followed them but i would have worded them as such.
1) Rename the app you downloaded from above to gmail2.apk
Use any file explorer app and goto system/app and delete gmail.apk and then navigate to data/app and delete com.google.android.gmail (or something similar to this). you should be deleting 2 things. Thats what i had atleast. and I am on codefirex latest jb nightly
2)reboot phone
3)at this point you should see the gmail app NOWHERE in your app drawer
4)push gmail2.apk (the app you downloaded from earlier) to /system/app
5)reboot annnnnnnnd you will have the new gmail already installed and good to go!!
issues:
my data was slow to start for some odd reason. idk if it is a remote issue but it never really happens to me.

Seriously, what is the difficulty to zoom out in email, especially a big waste on the giant S3 screen. I still have my S3 but it's just sitting there now. I do email a lot and couldn't take it any more, so I bought another iPhone. I so miss the S3's screen, but it gets on my nerve everytime I have to scroll around to read an email on the S3.
This still won't help me since it's Gmail only :crying:

The new play store does look good. I can't wait for the pinch to zoom for emails though as well. This is something that does need to be in there as the real estate on the S3 is just too big to not be able to move around in the email itself.
Downloaded/installed and everything seems to be working fine. Used Root Explorer to remove the old gmail.apk from system/app.
Thanks.

Google ears has been modded for the Nexus 7 and without restriction so I decided to give it a test run and see if it would go on the GS3 T999 and worked without a hitch, no bugs no glitches.
I figured I would post it up for those interested in case anyone missed it, I'm not looking for credit obviously as I only checked to see if it would work but please give this guy a thanks for doing a great job on this app/widget.
It does say for unsupported countries only but it's working either way.

Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
This is a terrible revamp. We've lost starred places, easy offline caching, a separate nav app, on screen zoom buttons and scale, and the UI is more cumbersome for mapping/nav functions. The UI is more beautiful and is arguably better for casual info. But what is the point of maps? Beauty or real map functions?
For those that want the upgrade 7.0.2 attached.
This is probably the wrong thread but does anyone have the previous Google maps apk before the update to 7. I can't stand the new maps. I don't know why Google is insisting on becoming more like crApple. Neat UI but 15 steps to get to navigation, no dedicated way to lookup addresses in your contacts, once in navigation no way to check other route alternatives other than to back out of navigation, can't run navigation and then open maps to search for other places independent of navigation, and the list goes on. Why would you update an app and take away a bunch of great features.

Nothing but a Hassle with hangouts from the start,extremely frustrating.
I dont understand why Google just cant get things
right from the beginning, like I hate to say it, facetime/imessage. It works and is rock solid.

There are two options for you at this point: rip it down and fix it yourself. Or switch to iOS. Oh wait, there is a third, stop complaining and be thankful for the things that you have the inability to produce.

Ha, you totally missed the point of the and took it as a "apple guy" post...
Billion dollar company = cant fix or launch a decent working messaging app.
No one is switching to IOS here, but IOS people aren't running to hangouts in droves either..
If google was serious about making hangouts a "standard" it wouldnt still be the abortion it currently is.

You missed the point. the Hangouts app in this thread, IS NOT FOR OUR PHONE! It works fine on the Nexus 5, the phone it was MADE FOR. We are using an app that was not designed to work for our phones yet. Hence why it has not been released to the play store and why it's not on our phones stock. So sit back, grab a latte and wait for the official so we don't have to see you complain.

You did it again homeslice. We are on the same team here. lol I AM on an "offical" play version of hangouts and lib..
It does not help the fact that hangouts in general is a disaster right now.
Although I do still have hope.

Okay I got ya now. Weird though, because I didn't have any problems with the video hangouts or the app at all really. I did use it VERY limited though before the SMS version. Now with the SMS version, unofficial, I have NOT tried video. But MMS pictures do jack it up. However, I just send any MMS through stock app.
Sorry for the confusion brother lol

haha its all Good sir. Its hard enough to setup and do Video chats with anyone anyways really if you think about it..
The in-laws are lazy and unwilling to use anything other than facetime to communicate with my 5yr old son.. So its tuff titties when I finally chuck the lame ipad 2 out the window as soon as the Note 10.1 2014 arrives..
