Google Maps 4.0

---

Has anyone tried out the new GMAPS 4.0 on their device? Has anyone got it to work when using GPS? I installed it and everytime I click on Use GPS it crashes the application. This use to happen to my old I910 with version 3.32 and not sure why.

Version 4.0 works perfect on mine and I get a quick lock on GPS. Maybe you should try reloading it.

i get a gps satellite lock inside in under thirty seconds with 4.0

I had this same issue as well. I had to revert back to v3.2.1 to use the app.

Tried uninstalling and reinstalling a few times and the same result. I also reverted back to an older version.

wow, I just got my i-920 omnia2 about 4 weeks ago and it was about 3 weeks ago I downloaded and installed google maps. it is version 3.3.0. when did they come out with version 4? the one I have works fine. takes a while to acquire satellites. I just tried out that latitude yesterday. very cool thing, but it didn't work. but the phone that I was "tracking" had latidute running then "exit". it asks if you want to still send location info and yes was selected. per google, when in this mode it sends signal based on cell tower info--does this to preserve battery life since if the gps were on constantly and sending signal if would drain it. cell tower info not as accurate. but it didn't work at all. showed essentially no movement. was going to try to leave google maps open and thus sending gps info to see if it worked that way.

oh, to original poster--didn't the i910 have gps locked so you couldn't use it except for verizon stuff?

The GPS on the I910 was unlocked. I used IGO8 as well as GOOGLE MAPS and BING.

I have the i920 and have installed the google4 with no problems. The gps was locked within one minute, didn't time it but was within 10 meters.

Just installed Google Maps 4.0 yesterday -- works AWESOME on my i920, gps lock within 30 seconds when outside. Unfortunately still no navigation like they have on the newer android devices (grr, google bastadz!) but it most certainly does not crash.

What ROM are you using, and did you uninstall the older version manually before installing the new one? Also try using SKTools' uninstaller -- that will also scan for left behind registry keys \ temp\cache files and remove them.

Well I installed the newest version which is 4.1 with the voice command and it works great.
