Don't install the apk, instead use root explorer or terminal emulator to copy the maps5.2.1-ownhere.apk to system/app then reboot

Thanks mate! Your instruction was much more clearer!

Copy the apk file to /system/app, rather than "install the apk file" which was posted earlier.

Tested and it worked great in finland!

To get it work: use ADB method and use maps5.2.1-ownhere.apk

Great Theard....But

I dont know why! no one Brut mod version works in navigation mod, everytime that I try to know the route to any place the Navigation set in "Getting Driving Directions", search and seach and seach, the map moves and moves but it never shows me a route, also the Robot voice says sometimes "Data conection is lost" or something like that!

Please i want to know how to fix this!...

Im in Venezuela....Thanks to all!

Srry for my bad english

P.D.: The modified APK is already installed but the problem is that the program never set a route to any place!

Working great here.
Used the adb method to push the resigned version to htc desire cm7 rc2 after wipe data and uninstall on settings>application>manage application.

i'd like to try this but I cant find streetview on my Market. Can anyone host latest version of streetview on here so this hack has all the necessary components in the same thread?

THanks!

So is this for people who do not live in the USA because I have google maps that I downloaded from the market and it already has so that u can use your navigation. Or is this a different type of navigation?

Just for clarification. I live in germany and I have the official Google Maps application from the market. I actually can navigate with this version just like on those screenshots.

If I live in germany, is this edition of google maps of no interest to me? Or does it provide other features for foreign countries outside of the US? Just wanna make sure before I install this ...

Have tried these steps but I couldn't see Maps application anywhere. Here are the steps I tried

1. Titanium Backup of Map App
2. Wiped Data and Uninstalled Maps
3. Titanium Backup of Street View App
4. Wiped Data and Uninstalled Street View
5. Copied maps5.2.1-ownhere.apk to /system/app using rootexplorer (Tried both versions )
6. Rebooted

Am I missing something here?

Same question here.
i know it has already been asked on the thread, but it seems it's still unclear for me and other.

Is there any interest in installing this app, if we already have navigation with maps in our country ?

    This map is for the country that cant use navigation on google map. It has been hacked and can be used by any country now.





    Installation for root:

    1. In Titanium Backup, select Maps and make a backup.
    2. Select Maps and wipe data, then uninstall.
    3. Select Street View and wipe data, then uninstall.
    4. Install Google Maps6.7.0-ownhere-signed.apk.
    5. Go to market, and reinstall street view.(download it from the second post).
    Or
    1.Uninstall maps from Titanium Backup.
    2.Install maps from the Market.
    3.Uninstall it normally (not from Titanium).
    4.Install the re-signed version.

    or ADB

    first uninstall Maps from /system/app
    HTML:
    adb remount
    adb push /Google maps6.7.0-ownhere.apk /system/app



    Note:
    For those who get the "Login Failed" message Pull down the status bar and press all three triangles and give permission then closing maps.

    If you don't get the three warning triangles
    1. Install original maps from market.
    2. Sign in and join latititude
    3. Back up maps in titanium, app and data.
    4. Wipe date and uninstall maps
    5. Install resign version. DO NOT RUN, reboot right after installing.
    6. After reboot, go to titanium and restore DATA only.


    I'm not going to post any more links to ownhere-maps . After a lawyer representing google contacted me on G+ and then later call me and we had a little talk ,we came to the conclusion that I'm not going to spread anymore modified maps . I'm not going get on the wrong side off Google .. And I'm considering closing the thread .






    Admin Edit: These Maps apk files have been removed due to a copyright infringement complaint from Google. Please do not post any more Google Maps apk's

    How to get navigasion voice in your own language​

    1. Download Classic Text To Speech Engine from the marked.https://market.android.com/details?id=com.svox.classic&feature=search_result
    2. After installation, open to select the language you want (USD 2.99) to download.
    3. Go to Android Settings -> Voice Input & Output -> Text-to-Speech settings, activate SvoxClassic at the bottom of the screen, then select SvoxClassic as the Default Engine.

    Notes:
    - Google Navigation requires that the Text-to-Speech voice matches the phone language. You can change the phone language in Android Settings -> Language & keyboard -> Select language.

    Would anyone like to share how the maps.apk is changed to allow navigation to work in all countries. I'm sure this forum would benefit from this info so that more ppl could help on getting the latest release out when google releases it.


    Do somebody please tell me how to unlock the google maps for navigation?

    1) Download a working version of the hacked map, its corresponding original version and the latest map version.
    2) Extract from all apks their classes.dex.
    3) Disassemble the classes.dex (hack, original & new) using*baksmali . This will create a folder of disassembled files for each classes.dex, viz., hfolder, ofolder & nfolder respectively.
    4) Use a diff tool such as meld (in ubuntu) to find the differences in hfolder & ofolder.
    5) Port the diff (i.e., modified parts) in hfolder to nfolder. Please make sure that they are the same file when porting (i.e., most of the other codes should match).
    6) If you realise that the hacked file does not corresponds to the new file (i.e., same file name or file does not exists in nfolder), look for some codes (in the hacked file) that can uniquely identify it and search in the folder, using tools such as grep or find.
    7) Copy all files in brut folder to nfolder.
    8) Edit the files in brut folder of nfolder such that the references (some function calls to the map classes) in them point to the correct classes/files in nfolder.
    9) Once all modifications are ported, assemble it using*smali *which will create a dex file. Name it as classes.dex.
    10) Replace the classes.dex of the new map apk with the newly assembled classes.dex.
    11) Resign the apk.

    It's nothing new, I'm really surprised you didn't know about it: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=630887 . I have started this project about 1.5 years ago, but I don't have time recently, so I don't port my changes to newer versions of Google Maps. Some Chinese guys do that for me ;-)

    Actually this is written on the page linked by you:

    Version of Google Maps [Brut] famous xda-developers forum is currently only developed to v4.6.0
