Unhappy Google maps mobile 3.3.1 fail

I wonder if any one has the same problem as I do. I upgraded google maps mobile to version 3.3.1 and deleted the old version during the install process. Since the opal has no build in gps, the positioning was done through the mobile network masts. Since the upgrade this function, also called quick location (using german version so term may be incorect) does not work very well.

Has anyone an old cab file of a previous version (not 3.3.1) of google maps mobile?


thanks a lot

EDIT: Managed to find some old direct download links in google. Fortunately you can still download the old versions directly from google. You just need the download links (or the exact Version number).

I just tried the 3.3.1 version of google maps. It zoomed in to some place in usa on first start, so I thought I have same problem as you (I am in austria). But when I zoomed in to my home location, i realized that the blue dot with circle around that indicates my location is still in same position as it was in earlier version.

Maybe that's what made you think it doesn't work anymore?

I'm not sure what you mean. Perhaps its best if I describe the error I had:

I installed 3.3.1 and used its location function. Everything worked fine and the Blue Point started moving with my position (You have to know I drove in a Bus with wifi internet access). An hour later when I started google maps again, I got my new location, but after a couple of minutes, my location was obviously not correct anymore because, the blue point showed my location on the map where I was an hour earlier. Reseting Google Maps caused it to show the correct position again for like one minute. After this minute my position on the map was again my earlier position.
After the downgrade everything works fine for me again :)

DONATE TO ME
Try to install this:

HTCSensorSDK Disabler.CAB

Deactive the HTCSensorSDK with the Fix and Googlemaps works well. Also with Version 4.0.0.
