Haha, me too. I think I may have spent longer trying to make it work.
The offline navigation is definitely an awesome feature, I won't have much time to test it though.
Whoa! As I was updating this, the market also updated.

Man I've been waiting patiently for mine to update.
The new map is cool, I live around DC and it was fun checking out the area in 3D.

My market also updated shortly before this and now all my other updates are failing. Wheee!
A Google employee posted that they inadvertently forgot to mention that two-finger rotate does not work on the Captivate if you're on 2.1, it requires 2.2 or higher. And I can verify that 3D buildings DOES work on 2.1, I was looking at them a bit ago. Try clearing out your map cache if you aren't seeing them and also make sure you're zoomed WAY in.

Thanks for the tip, I cleared out the cache and it works perfectly.
Thanks for the info on rotating and 2.2..was driving me crazy since I am 2.1..
still can't see 3d buildings.. I went to empire state building in NY because I figured that was definitely 3D and don't see 3D even after clearing cache. Any ideas?
Nevermind..got it..
Had no idea you had to turn all layers off to get it. That is how I got to see it finally. So when I had satellite or terrain layers on 3D does not work..at least for me.
Guys...i just updated and when i try to navigate it freezes for me...it is happening with someone else here???
Its been in loop on getting route...and never finish...

I may be hallucinating, but with the new maps my GPS locks immediately. Anyone experiencing this (welcomed) side-effect?

It's probably getting your accurate location from WIFI. Mine does the same. Try turning off "use wireless networks" in location settings and see if it still does it.

- Not all cities have 3D buildings
- Some cities need to be zoomed in really close before 3D buildings appear
- You have to have all layers turned off (satellite, traffic, etc)
Try New York city and see if that works.
Dudes, Help me please!!! Give some suggestion that I can try...
My navitation is hang in " Getting Driving Directions " therefore behind it im seem the arrow going on, and working fine...but it never traces the track...
What can i try???
On another feature of this new version: It claims to cache maps...as I'm travelling to So America tomorrow, it would be nice to use google maps without data...anyone have any idea if it caches enough to be effective? 200 sq miles would be nice. I'm assuming, that the last thing I do before leaving is to search the area I need, scroll around and it should automatically cache?...thanks

Out now in the market, but has major issues right off the bat, notably no sound or notification settings. Sort of ridiculous to launch without those!

Yeah it needs some work I think. I set up a new task under tasker to lower the media volume to 1 when I'm in the game and then restore it back to 4 when I exit.
To find it search under words with friends zynga
Notifications do work though.

anyone else having an issue where it isn't seeing all of your contacts? it is bringing them all up except like 4-5, and of course those are the people I want to play against.
I HATE the full screen pop up ads.
I hope they release a pay version soon.
Also...I'm getting a lot of fc's and it lags and delays when its changing turns.
Yes...buggy like crazy. I expected much more from Zynga. Especially since they have great work on the i-devices.

I'm guessing that it only does your e-mail contacts, because the same thing happened to me and it seemed to coincide with people that I've e-mailed instead of people that I have on my phone.

Hi guys i just wanted to share this awesome app. its called tv shows hd. for some reason they removed it from the market, but i just recently found it. the link is http://www.mobileboxs.info/android-apps/tv-shows-hd-v2-9-android/ just click on the megashare mirror and close all popups. click on where it says free download and close popups. then just wait for the countdown and download the apk. install it by either putting it on your sd card or going directly on your phone and downloading it and installing it like any other apk. Enjoy!!!!
UPDATE: I just found the newest version of this app which fixes the full screen problem...http://www.ipmart-forum.com/showthread.php?647650-TV-Shows-HD-v3.0-(free) you have to register to get the app, but hey 10 seconds is a small price to pay for such an awesome app. And the show quality is AWESOME
UPDATE 2: I just figured out how to use dropbox . Here is a link to the apk... http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25647849/TV Shows 3.0.apk
This is awesome. Not ALL shows work but A LOT do. Re-living my childhood watching Are you Afraid of the Dark.
"How I Met Your Mother" at the palm of my hands!!! Awesome!! Thanks for sharing!!!!!
My pleasure guys just trying to spread the android love. If an episode doesn't work just close the app and restart it usually works for me
Any way to make it full screen?
I use "TV Shows Stream". The free version only allows a few shows, but if you just dish out a couple bucks for the paid app, it's well worth it. Tons of shows that update frequently.

i use this too and its awesome!! anybody know of a live tv app? the last one was taken over by the FBI and other legal stuff anybody find a new one?
To make it fullscreen, just long press near the top somewhere until you see the full screen icon on the top left corner
Tv shows stream is like 8 dollars now...too expensive if u ask me. Tv shows Hd is free and the quality is amazing
Whenever I do full screen like 10 seconds later it goes back to un-full screen. Anyone else experiencing this?

Cant get this damn app to work. It searches for servers and then gives me an ad and then black screen. Tried force stoppping, and retarting. Even rebooted my phone. Any advice? Do I need to be on Wifi or is 3G fine? On a rooted Droid X running 2.3.3.

I can confirm the app working perfectly on my Droid X running 2.3.3 on 3G. Don't know what would be giving you issues.
Is anyone else having issues with the accuracy of spoken word in Voice Search? For example, I say "navigate to the nearest hospital" and it thinks I'm saying "kkkk new york" This feature worked perfectly on my EVO. Anyone else noticing this or am I missing something?
Thanks!

Try to adjust the voice search settings. Take off all the restrictions and it should work better.

I'm having the same exact problem with all of the k's! Updating hasn't fixed it, clearing the data hasn't fixed it... I've tried using voice on multiple applications and I keep getting that same problem. It'll do a bunch of k's and then just part of what I actually said. I don't know if it's a microphone problem?

On MIUI - had it pushed to me last week. At first I thought it was a pita to use.
But... after I played with it a bit I think I like it a lot better than the old market.
The only thing I don't like is that it is painful if your not on wireless and have a slow connection.
I am not liking the update at all....

Everyone was so excited when this was first announced.
They took out the option to disable the "updates available" notification.
Also youtube and flash player don't show up under "my apps" in the market anymore. If I search them, they say installed and allow updating that way

Your flaming/personal attacks have been reported to the moderator
Normally bugs don't affect every user/configuration. They would be quickly/easily fixed if they did. Just because the bug doesn't affect you doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
:edit:
www.google.com/support/androidmarket/bin/static.py?hl=en&page=known_issues.cs
Its at the top of the list of market issues. The problem is definitely real

There is many apps in the market that say they fix Gps issues. But what does everyone use to get Gps working? Can some advise me? Thanks for all your input.

Somewhere within the VB black thread I think the apk for angrygps is posted. That was suggested for a while to fix the gps issues.
I have not read anybody else with gps problems on FB's VB. You may need to reflash, or clear caches and fix permissions.
Ok I found my issue under development for some reason I had enabled mock gps location enabled. What is that feature for?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
It can enable you to set a different location from where you actually are. For example, if you use any of the maps/location features that show you stuff around you, say hotels, you can use a mock location of where you're headed (say New York City) vs. where you are now (on the highway in New Jersey) to get what's close to that location.
Clear as mud, right?
Also, you can use mock location for development purposes in case you're making an app that uses a GPS location and you don't get a real GPS location, or testing to see if your app will work with different coordinates and how it will react.
EDIT
Woohoo this was my 2000th post!
