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..

how to install google map..

i just flash CM7 and gapps..but i cant have google maps..i search at market...cant be download also..
please help me...where i can get google map??

i simply type in google map in Android Market
then click install
done
maybe you just need to install Android Market spoof app, to make it think it is in USA

Get the gapps.zip from CM wiki... it'll contain the market (or get the market.apk itself).

In Malaysia, updates to google maps are not available for some ****ed up reason. It is very frustrating how google shuns markets outside the US. I have no idea why we dont have Google+, Blogger, Chrometophone (the list goes on)
However a workaround(bug) to this is just to wait for another update to come along in your android market. When this happens, there will be an option to update ALL apps. Choose this one and google maps will update and install as well. Just be patient, or download an app that gets updates frequently

Ever thought about it's not Google mocking you but the government restricting the market in MY to get certain apps?
Especially those apps you mentioned leave an impression that tools enabling quick sharing of opinions are blocked.

Market enabler? Tried that? Fake one of the US providers and try searching again. If not, google that .apk and install it manually...

Latest Google Maps app with offline capability for NON listed countries

Not sure which version it was, but I used to use Google Maps Off-line, and cache wouldn't expire (if I'm correct). Due to lobby or any other rotten (commercial) reasons, Google Maps Off-line is not available anymore in many countries, like (some) Brazil (cities), as an example.
So, I'm looking at the latest Google Maps version which allows us to download the maps again, and use it offline.
Or maybe a way to cache it without the need of scrolling it manually, at several zoom levels...
I don't know - Something that could help on browsing offline Google Maps.
Could someone help on this?
And also point me (us) to a location where to get and install it?
Some useful links...

Is 6.14.1 the latest available?
I've found some 6.14.3 around, but I'm not sure if someone here has really tried it, successfully. [[[ DONE, and it's okay: ]]]
http://93.114.44.238/viewtopic.php?f=399&t=517147
Note 1: I have successfully installed the 6.14.3 version above, but I'm not sure if it works as it should due to the fact I'm looking at DOWNLOADING LOCAL maps currently not available anymore, that WAS available to download until some jerks decide we need to keep paying to access it from other sources; but I still couldn't. So, if you want to install and try the Google Maps 6.14.3 (Mod/Nav) and try it, get it above, and please post a feedback.
I just did this:
1. In Titanium Backup, selected Maps and cleared cache and wiped data.
2. I did the same with Street View, and uninstalled both.
3. Made a reboot.
4. Renamed the APK to Maps.apk (don't know why, but did)
5. Allowed unknown sources
6. Installed the APK
Note 2: I have successfully installed the 6.14.1 version (which may be the same as above links), and it worked as well. But NO solution for what I'm looking for.
http://forum.mobilism.org/viewtopic.php?t=417690
Bottom note: Then, you'll probably like the latest Google Maps 6.14.3 (offline Navigation Mod)
And, how can I download a map that is not available for downloading anymore?
Again, it used to be and I used to do it...
And many cities in Brazil are still downloadable, but not those that interest me.

Thanks for any input, and most important:
Enjoy!

I got update from g play for my map,before only,which saves the map and can be seen at offline also.
My problem was it created lots of cache on my sdcard..really annoying,so uninstalled.

Try disabling the log files, if that's what you mean : )

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.

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.

HTC Locations Offline Maps (Android)

Hey guys,
as I now know, HTC has discontinued their service for the navigation app HTC Locations in July 2013. Here is the answer of my contact:
Unfortunately this service is being disallowed. Right now most of the HTC Sense services have been discontinued, along with the ability to download ringtones, wallpapers or in your case use the HTC Location services. As you know the newer versions of the HTC Sense 5 and 5.5 are being added to the latest devices released. Aaron, we expect your comprehension as HTC Location will no longer work and the contents available have been discontinued. Remember that the Google Play Store offers lots of alternatives for this matter.

A great benefit of it was, that almost every country has a map packages, which can be downloaded to use it offline e.g. if you a on a trip with no mobile network.
Unfortunately, the map packages (for Android) cannot be downloaded any longer :crying:
Big thanks to @jasonlee0315 and @vincent312 to provide these map packages! :good:

Please note, that when using the map "Vatican" and "Italy" simultaneously (on you sdcard), it may causes the problem that no detailed country will be shown. In this case delete "Vatican", because it is also included in "Italy". Thanks to @Liska
How to get the maps work?
download and place the map files onto your sdcard in the directory: .data -> navigator -> Data -> Maps
from default in this folder is a file named ".placeholder". This can exist futher.
so just put the files in the mentioned directory,
disable any data connection
run HTC Locations and navigate to a place,
which is covered by these offline maps and see, if it works
How to get the speech work?
download and place the speech files onto your sdcard in the directory: .data -> navigator -> Data -> AudioRes
from default in this folder is a file named ".dummy". This can exist futher.
so just put the files in the mentioned directory,
run HTC Locations and start a navigation
Have fun and enjoy it
Best regards!

No one, who has saved these maps?

Google Maps Maybe?
Another option could be going on Google Maps, since they have a option so save maps to view offline.​

Sure, but it's not very comfortable to make Google maps offline available. First you have to navigate to a certain place. Moreover it's not really detailed.
So I'm looking for an app, which allows me to download all desired maps for free.
I don't need navigation, but I need the maps

Thanks guys for going to all the trouble of making the maps & speech files available
I've got one slight little hiccup...
If I install a select few European maps (which I will need soon) Locations works like it should.
However, if I load all the Europe maps onto my HTC Desire S Locations refuses to show detailed maps and just gives me a basic outline of the coast etc.
Any ideas what's going on?
Many thanks

Did you download the maps from the MEGA storage?
Are the maps placed in the mentioned directory? (see post #1)
Which maps have you tried? (want to try to reproduce it)
Have you tried to clear cache and data of the Locations app in settings?
