Yes, I have searched (a lot! Search is not my friend.)
I have found many posts from people having trouble with Google Maps (GPS questions, multi-touch questions, rotation and location questions). But I can't find anybody who has had trouble actually getting Maps.
I dream of having all those problems --- but I can't even find Maps in the Market (I've done the market fix and I thought I had the whole market, but the only time I've ever seen the market in my life is the last few weeks on my Gtab, so of course I have no idea if I have the whole market or not.)
Anyway, is Maps supposed to be visible in the Market, or am I supposed to side load it?
Or do I have to do something else to get it?

I see 97% or so (including maps!) of the application of my Nexus one with Vegan and market fix
check your build.prop if you don't see the market just do a forum search for the correct string
Everything else, I copy it from my nexus as much as possible!
Thanks for your reply.
I just found out that somehow I do have the Maps app after all! Is that why it doesn't show up when I search the Market?
I didn't realise I had Maps because when I was browsing the net, I couldn't view any maps. I didn't realise I had to open a separate app.
anyone else running the new OTA for stock JB notice that the hotword option in Google Now is missing?
I am part of the soak test so I did report that.
I do hope it's somewhere hidden and configurable.
Would hate to have to actually tap a button when this is supposed to be more or less a hands free thing
No Hotword either???

My stock Xoom was updated OTA on Thursday with Jelly Bean and it does run smoother, but I seem to be yet another one with no option to download the offline language pack. Google Now does work but it doesn't have the 'Google' hot word recognition like what some people have on other devices. Checking the status of all my apps installed, Voice search and Google search are now incompatible, even though they are already installed. Adobe Flash is incompatible now, but I figured that; the Firefox web browser is also incompatible now. Everything else seems to be OK.

Same here though I believe this may be a symptom of a larger issue; not being able to download the offline language pack.
Language in Voice must be set to English US not UK or any other variation.
Just installed it and loving it. Supposedly will only run on 4.2 or higher unless you wait for the official update on play store. I was waiting for this so figured I would share the knowledge.

help if i posted the link...
Thanks! Seems great, can't wait to try it out
My HTC One on AT&T has not gotten the Maps update yet. I downloaded the APK from Androidpolice and it's working, but now I read there is a 7.0.1 update where they added the Offline maps selection when viewing the map (as opposed to having to type "Ok Maps" in the first release). However, I cannot find an updated APK for Android 4.1.2 devices... the two APK's I downloaded which were 7.0.1 could not be parsed because I'm not on 4.2. Anyone know where I can find the 7.0.1 APK for Android 4.1.2?
Also, for those of you with HTC One's, can you confirm whether addresses from the Phone application will open the new Google Maps app? On my device, if I click on an address from the Phone/Contacts app, it doesn't do anything now, whereas before it would open the address in Google Maps (on the older version).
Anyone else?

Same here. Actually, when I tap an address in contacts, it opens at&t navigator, which I am not using. I disabled it and now nothing happens at all when you tap the address. I was hoping that by disabling the at&t navigator it would default back to Google maps.
Also, if you just tap in the empty search bar, it will bring up the information cards. Just scroll down to the bottom and the option to store the map offline is already there in this version.

Yeah, somehow the contacts app just lost connection to the maps app with this version, so even if you don't have another app set as default, it just does nothing when you click an address. My initially was opening Glympse because I had that installed, but even after uninstalling it, it still isn't opening Maps. Definitely a bug between the HTC contacts app and the new Maps... which means it's probably not going to fixed for some time. I'm hoping that the upcoming HTC One update to 4.2 will fix it... but who knows when AT&T will be rolling that out. I'm not interested at this time in rooting my phone and installing a custom rom to try to fix this.
Thanks for the tip about the offline maps setting, I found it.
EDIT: There is still a way to get a contact address to appear in the new maps. Just start typing the name of the contact that has an associated address and it'll show up in the search results. Not as convenient, but at least it's a workaround for now!
I like it but driving along the navigation lags behind where I actually am

I received the 7.0.1 update through the Play store this afternoon (I'm on AT&T stock 4.1.2). When I click on addresses in Contacts it gives me the option to open the address with AT&T Navigator or Waze but not Maps. Not sure what the behavior was with earlier versions of Maps because I never tried it before now.

The correct behavior would be to ask you what app to use for links, including the Maps app. But since the link to Maps is broken, it is just asking you amongst your other compatible apps. If you don't have any other compatible apps, it will do nothing when you select an address.
Note that this just happens in the Phone/Contacts app though in Sense. If you use Chrome or another Google app that has an address or map link, it will still open in the new Maps. So it might be something HTC has to fix, or it might be something just broken with the API in the new Maps app. Only time will tell, but as I mentioned, you can start typing a contact name in the new Maps app, and it will show the address, so that's a workaround for now.
I had to uninstall and reinstall old version. If I zoom out past a certain point, the map doesn't render.. I'm on ARHD 12 if that matters.

It's hard to say whether it's your custom rom or not, but the maps renders fine at all zoom levels on my HTC One running 4.1.2 stock.
I recently updated my phone to 4.4.3
When I did I noticed that I am not having problems using the Google Search Widget on the home page and within Google Now. When I try to search for something with the keyboard I get a message that says cant load search results. The odd thing is that if I search for the same thing by voice it works just fine. Google Search within Chrome will work fine too with voice or keyboard.
I thought this was an issue with 4.4.3 so I went back to 4.4.2 and same problem! I don't know whats going on this just started for me today. If I clear the data for Google Search it seems to fix it temporarily but it always come back.
Others seem to be having this problem. There are several posts at the bottom from today: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=65976
Here is a screenshot of the error:

Anyone know of a fix?

I have the same issue, just started happening. The problem only affects the Google search widget and search for web. The image, video, etc searches all work.
I think it's pretty wide-spread. I've got 4 devices, some on 4.4.3 and some on 4.4.2 and its occurring on all of them.
There's a pretty long thread on Google Groups here:
Apparently they are aware of the issue and are working on a fix.

Clearing the data on the Google Search App fixes the issue for one search but after I search again it says the same thing. Also images, news, videos and all that other stuff works fine its just web that is broken.
I have been having the same issue for the last 2 days.
After clearing the cache from "Google Search, Google Play and Google Now" I turned and updated each app one by one.
I have discovered that with Google Now DEACTIVATED Search works fine on all my devices.
Samsung S4
Samsung Pro 8.4
Samsung Note 3
Hope this helps.
So I was looking at a friend of mines phone today (its some mediatek based knock off of an LG G3) anyway, I was installing Google Now Launcher and some stock apps with her play store updated in the middle of it, before, it was the regular one like everyone else has, then I opened it back up to get Google Keyboard, and I found it was completely different, it had a very similar design to the Google App, the search bar was exactly like on the google search app and it had a new card style layout, I was wondering if anyone else has gotten this update, if not, I'll try to pull the APK from her phone tomorrow when I see her at work.
Edit: was only able to find one article on it and its old, strange that the change is server side not client, but it looks nice http://www.phonearena.com/news/Google-Play-Store-gets-updated-Google-Search-bar_id66253
Mine just updated to the new one a few minutes ago.
Just opened the play store and saw I got it. Loving the animations in the search bar!
