Google Maps help

[prealphageek]

Google Maps is timing out and not displaying any imagery. It gives the following error “You must install a new version to use this program” I have version 1.2.0.18 installed which I think is the latest version of the tool. I tried installing via direct download (http://www.google.com/gmm) through my device and *.cab (http://www.google.com/gmm/GoogleMaps.CAB) file, both methods yielded the same results.
I started to think might be due to my network connection using MediaNet. I’m not sure if I should use “AT&T ISP” connection instead (I don’t know those settings are).
New AT&T Tilt user, device is just few days old :confused:

It, 1.2.0.13 works fine on my vario III. I can tell which room of my house I am in.:) Have you tried using it over wifi, this would show if it is your network settings that are out of whack.

Can you provide the Cab file for that version?

I can get it to initialize GPS but it doesn't get sattelites. (v1.2.0.18)

if you are trying to get GPS to work you either not to use a nother app to start the GPS or go into th settings and change it to look through com4 and baud rate of 4800
also the proper cab file should say compressed in the title

thats some weird stuff, never had a problem with gmaps on my tilt...try doing a hard reset and reinstalling and let us know how it goes (hard reset = (while the phone is on) press both soft keys simultaneously and take your stylus and insert it into the reset hole in the bottom, right above the miniusb connection)

Did a hard reset, stopped AT&T's customizations.

Now everything works. I have Visual GPS mapped to PTT & GoogleMaps mapped to PTT (Press & Hold).

I know it ain't the best for GPS but it's free and will do until I decide on which software to buy.

Like I said you don't have to start VisualGPS to get the GPS started with Google maps as long as you go into the settings and change it from Automatic to manual and then change the com port and buad rate My works great and is 1000 times faster than Windows Live maps which i think sucks personally

So google maps works, track location works well for about 5 minutes and stops. It says it's still seeing the birds but the flashing blue dot just wont move. Sure I turn "track location" off and then back on, it then works for another 5 minutes....

So do we think it's a H/W or a S/W issue? :o
