Google Maps no longer functions

[sleze]

I posted before about my phone always starting up in airplane mode (here) after trying to get flash working on Opera.

Well for some reason, that has gone away. YAY!
But now, google maps no longer works. BOOoo!

What happened is that I started it up at the beginning of my weekly road trip, it looked like everything was working but the "Loading" note at the top was persistent AND traffic wasn't loading. If I moved the map around, new sections of the map were being downloaded without a problem. Opera works with no problem.

I then got this error:

Network Unavailable
This application requires a data connection. Please contact your carrier, or visit www.google.com/gmm/configure.html on your computer for more info.

(Error: wininetHttpError [0 12007])

I have had Google Maps die on me before so I keep the latest version on my SD card just in case. I removed Google and reinstalled. Now it doesn't even get to a map and gives the same error message.

Because of my weekly roadtrip, Google Maps is very important to me. Does anyone have any suggestions?

If you are having so many probs why don you just hard reset or even change ROM?
Perhaps that could help.

Hard reset is always an option but it is such a pain in the ass to reload everything that is working fine now.

As for loading a new ROM, for some reason I am told that I already unlocked my phone when I run the utility. Also, none of the ROMS look (or sound like they perform) all that different from AT&T's stock ROM after the available tweaks.

Scratch hard reset from the list of potential fixes.

Solved.

For some reason, ActiveSync sometimes adds a proxy server to Media Net.

I had just upgraded one of my sync'd pc's to Windows 7.
