Google Maps Navigation for Windows Mobile

I was just curious as to whether or not anyone was actually trying to make this happen because Google maps is awesome but i use iGO just because of the voiced directions. So is this even possible or is it gonna be limited to android phones?

It's only an update with Buzz(messaging thingy) included...no navigation features like android version as yet

Is there a way the hack the windows mobile google maps for navigation ?
I mean like navstarter or launcher for android.

i don't think so.. Google maps navigation is seen as a separate application, and is handled in that way by android as well.
It makes more sense to wait for Google's official release. I suspect they will want to keep the feature confined to the android market for at least a year before making it available on other platforms.
In a way, we get a better deal for our patience. We will get a more polished version of their software, since most problems would already have been encountered and fixed on android builds.

Google Navigator is updated and supported by pdafun. I personally think it's a bit strange to use 2 separate applications, both based on google's maps, ESPECIALLY considering that google maps already has navigation support.

um, I've got it installed on my phone... It seems to find me, but when I zoom in past the world view, it never updates the maps... it will lock on my GPS. Just double checked, but it's called google navigator...

I can't download
can you please upload to a different server?
Thank you

I always thought the navigation feature in google maps is still in beta? Hence the reason they are restricting it's availablilty until it's out of beta at least.

i am using Bing on my HD2, and it works flawlessly.
at times when i dont even get 3G it works fine on EDGE,
its free and has turn by turn navigation.

Google Navigator by PDAfun is not the application in question. That is a third party app that is not supported by Google and has recently changed the name of its application to Global Navigator at Google's request.
Google Maps Navigation is an extremely powerful application developed by Google and, as stated before, is only available on Android devices.

Thanks for info

cool. thanks for the info

Thanks for the heads up, will be sure to give it a shot.

Thanks for the info above

is it possible for anyone to upload the latest Google Maps apks on this thread? My problem is that i get the stupid 'not supported by your carrier' error when attempting to update. I have been able to update my google maps to 5.0 from outside the market and it is working fine, so i really don't understand the carrier related error. Please, anyone? Its free after all.
Thanks!

They need to stop cluttering up Gmaps with useless stuff. Becoming bloated slowly but surely.

But 5.2 is the newest...
twitter.com/#!/GoogleMobile/status/43345991268704256

Yep, Market shows the new version is 5.2.0

Yes, 5.2.0 is the new version of Google maps.
What's in this version:
- Post your reviews of places to Twitter.
- Check in at places with Google Latitude to earn status and share with friends.
- Ping Latitude friends to ask them to check in. Friends will get a check-in request notification from you.
- Search for a place to check in from Latitude if it's not in the suggested list of plac

Agreed. Adding functionality to the map functions is one thing, but adding lots of extraneous bling is quite another.

Ver 5.2.0 is out, what's news?

The search feature on Maps has completely stopped working for me. Nothing I search is returning results... Is anyone else having this problem?
I really need this feature working on my phone before I fly to LA next week, its unbelievable how much I depend on it :-/
Running
MyTouch 3G Slide
ROM: CM7

any gmaps 5.2.0 APK :S i can´t update

Here it is,just pulled it up from the market,works quite good

Is there any reason to upgrade?
Given that Latitude is a non-starter (for me), is there any reason to get the newer version? I've been avoiding it since it didn't seem to have anything new besides bloatware that I'd rather avoid.

thanks for the apk file was looking for it..

Excellent !

Thank you!
Sometimes it seems some members here don't understand the basics of the Market: NOT ALL APPS are available in ALL countries.
So, please, don't send a link to the Android Market, it is USELESS.
We've already tried there!

nevermind everything is fixed...

hey, how to unlock navigation in other countries?

Thanks for the file...

5.2.1 pretty please if you can, has some routing issues fixed

APK 5.2.1
Yeah can someone put the 5.2.1 on here.
My market refuses to download or install Gmaps, Only when I use an APK install it works, but then it won't update via the market (the download keeps failing or not even starting)
Weird issue though since I did a full wipe after a new rom install (HTC Desire GSM, Cyanogen Nightly Build 15, s-off with Alpharev). All other google apps install just fine.
The APK should resolve this untill the next update probably :-((
The only thing I didn't try yet is a Dalvik wipe before the rom install or gapps, should I?
Any clues about how to fix this or a link to the 5.2.1. HDPI version?
Cheers

Google maps v5.2.1
Here are the attachments for Google maps, Street and My tracks. Have fun.

An app that also uses a google map

GPS Maps v1.04 was just released to market.
New feature: retrieve and show your current address on street level.
https://market.android.com/details?id=at.specsoft.gpsmapstrial
@Dtrieb: this is the first step for the text to speech feature that you requested, TTS output will follow.

Can you also close GPS if the program shut down?

If i close GPS Maps the icon from my GPS shows that it have a connection.
On p.e. google maps the icon and the connection to GPS closed if I closed google maps.
Okay? Or can i write you per pn in german?

ok, i see => could reproduce it.
Will be fixed with next version => thank you for reporting!

This one is fixed now with v1.05
Just update via the market to newest version.

@nr1:
I have Kindle Fire with Stock ROM and Modaco Custom Rom. Will this app work in KF? Paul O'Brien who developed the custom ROM has allowed the location services activated and I could get adhoc connection from my laptop, even on the road. Market does not show in KF GPS Maps as an App. Could you please provide a link to .apk file so that I could install and experiment.
Thanks

Hi
i have no idea if it will work on the kindle, just try it.

No. It does not work. I could try with GPS Tether app, however I only have an IPhone 4S. GPS Tether will look for a GPS enabled Android smartphone. I have not come across any app that will make IPhone act as a server. Currently I am able to tether to my IPhone acting as Hotspot and grab internet connection. With that I am able to enable location services, which does not look for satellite. If you know any app to help me please let me know.

As native german speaker i could also do the german translation, there is anyway not much more to translate than the settings page.
