Text cannot be seen when entered in Google Maps while screen is in landscape

---

Anyone have any suggestions for this one... I posted it on Google's Forum as well. I have done a bit of searching on XDA also with no luck thus far, thanks!

I have a Tilt with the HTC WWE 6.1 ROM on it, and everytime I use the directions option on Google Maps, I slide the keyboard open, select add new destination, and try to type an address. The cursor will move as I type, but the text cannot be seen... it is as if the font for this particular section goes to white, because the info comes up when I finish typing and go back to the screen to begin routing the directions. This only seems to happen when in landscape on the Tilt, and works fine when in portrait.

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the response... used KaiserTweak and changed that setting... still no luck. This started as soon as the update was pushed to my phone. Software related?

Yeah I'm seeing the same problem. I checked the registry and don't see any Google Maps-specific setting that could be changed to fix it.

Thanks as well! If anyone has any other ideas, please let me know. I am not great with the registry hacks, but can follow directions for sure, and would be willing to give anything reasonable a shot.

Thanks!

Same problem with Ie and Google maps

I have the same problem in IE and Google Maps after upgradinf to official HTC Windows mobile 6.1 upgrade. I'm posting this message using Iris Browser and I've not any problem.
Ciao from Italy

also try disabling the cleartype in your phones settings i had this problem also until i did this and it stopped

Turning cleartype off worked for me.


Is there a solution to this that will allow the use of cleartype fonts? Things are really easier to read with cleartype turned on. Any other cooked ROMs out there found a way around this?

Phone: AT&T Tilt
ROM: Duttys Diamond 3.5 V1

Thanks.

I'm seeing this issue since I updated Google Maps today to version 2.2.0.16, but I do not have cleartype enabled.

Yeah, I should have mentioned that in my previous post - the phone's Cleartype settings do not seem to have any effect on Google maps, indicating that it's an additional setting set in google maps. This is on 6.1, not 6.0, and the stock AT&T ROM.
