[Q] The Maps app in Xoom Commercial?? - G Tablet General

Probably a dumb question, but what app is that in the Motorola commercial for the Xoom with the buildings displayed in 3d? Is that just Google Maps for honeycreams, or some other app Im not aware of? Id love to try it out if its available for Froyo/Ginger. Thanks!

I can do the same on my phone. Google Maps V5.2.1

I thought this was only available on Honeycomb.

Sweet! Thank you!
Edit: I downloaded the 5.2.1 but I still dont see the option to show the buildings in an area in the 3d look that it showed in the Xoom commercial.
Is there an option/layer Im missing?

i have google maps inserted in my tablet and when i write i name of a street he finded but i always use the internet.
I would like to use the gps true the satalite. it is possible???????
Hey! First u may need to check your settings to see if your settings gps is enabled. Once you do that you shouldn't have a problem. Android devices generally come with Google maps and navigator. Look for the navigator icon on either you home screen or in your market place. The app should be a free app in the market place. But like I said, check your settings make sure gps is enabled and then look for the navigator icon its the blue arrow and says navigator underneath. Hit that, enter your destination and go. Which android device do you have?

thanks for helping me.

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..

Marvel ?!

Has anybody gotten the new Marvel app working on their transformer ?? :S
it's really just a tweaked comixology, just like the DC Comics one. It should work as long as you do not have the new market installed. I have not installed this flavor yet, but the other two work fine once I got rid of the new market app.
Pointless..
I've since found out that the new Marvel app, STILL doesn't allow for a subscription :/
So until then no point really..
But thanks for the quick answer, do you have any clue why the new market messes with installed apps ?

yeah digital comics still are not quite where they need to be. as for the market issue it has something to do with apps that take payment from the google market accounts directly

does motorola xoom have gps built in?

question for you all,as i am planing to go in a short vacation to europe,
and i dont think i will have data plan there ,so my question is if i have a gps software installed in my tablet do i need any internet connection ?
do the motorola have gps built in?
thank you,
You need a connection to get directions, once you have the directions you can break the connection. It's called agps...and you better hope you don't need to change your route.

thank you for your reply!
is there any offline maps programs,for france and belgium?
that maybe i still see the map if i am not connected anywhere?
thanks
Yes it does have GPS built in. Purchase copilot live for the country you are going to visit. Copilot only needs to download data once then you don't need data again.
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium
Oh and you can change routes as often as you like. Copilot will reroute without internet connection as its maps are preloaded. It does use a lot of space though. USA maps are about 1.5g.

+1 for copilot. I have that on my wifi xoom and works great without data. You just need preloaded maps and ur set

If you only want to see the map, you can use a labs-feature in google maps to download map tiles to your device so they are still available if you go offline.
However, if you're with T-Mobile USA, your xoom should be an everest (MZ601), right? That should be compatible with european networks and you can get prepaid flat rate plans starting at around 10€... I got one of those back when I visited London a few years back, paid like 8£... totally worth it
thanks guys for all that good info!
i got this one here on amazon
i dont know exactly the model number ,but in settings /about it say :
xoom,android ver:4.0.3 build IML77
now,can that copilot be installed on microsd card? i only have 2 gb ,can i add a 16gb microsd to it?
as for the main memory i have 26gb free.
thanks

yes,i am with tmobile usa,but i buy my xoom from amazon,
so i dont know how this works...
for 10euro will be nice also to have data connection,i will be for about 12 days in europe.
thanks,
Maybe a bit late but what are you planing on using the map for, you could always just use google maps and pre-cache the area's you want to visit, perhaps before you leave the hotel or where ever your stopping via a wifi connection?

"""you could always just use google maps and pre-cache the area's you want to visit,"""
maybe i can do that ,but i have to find out how,
i just want to use the map for france and belgium to find places to see ,eat,sleep,train routes,buses,etc.
thanks
The Xoom does have GPS built in. You need to cache maps if you want to navigate. If you open the map application without wifi access or caching maps you will see your position on a blank grid.
Look for Navfree on the Market, works very well, can be used off line as when you install it before you go get the maps you want / need...also now available for USA too, uses free maps and "crowd sourcing corrections"
I use it on both the Atrix and Xoom

+1 for Navfree by Navmii on the Market.
Works very well in the UK, so imagine it should be fine for other countries in Europe.
You just need to switch on GPS, it doesn't need an active data connection since you have to pre-download the entire map for the country to your sd card.
thanks guys for your advice,
will use navfree,

Caching map files before you go or from your hotel wifi works for Google Maps, as I discovered during a recent trip to England.
Another option is Mapdroyd. The maps aren't hi-res, but perfectly acceptable for navigation.
ok,thanks for that info will try,will go loaded with all app that i can find,to make sure i dont get lost there...
In the UK, the best of all is MM Tracker which loads up qct files of real OS maps. You need to find the non encrypted versions of these though... Google maps in the UK are pretty hopeless with lots of errors. They are also just road map style charts, rather than proper maps.
