I just saw a youtube clip about someone who installed this on his droid;
Anybody tried it on the N1?
Where did you get it from?
Should be an update to your Maps app available in the Market, it didn't install for me, said package wasn't signed correctly, I was using a rom with known issues with Google Services though so I'm reflashing right now to try again. You can go to buzz.google.com in your browser to use their web app. Has a pretty clean interface.
installed and works fine on a non rooted nexus.
Got it workin on mine now too, pretty sweet.
I just installed it on my rooted nexus one here in canada and found several other people testing it out. Seems to work fine just not sure how often I will bother to load it up.
Installed on Cyanogen Beta 4 with my theme, and works perfect. Installed from market
Downloading... Installing.... WORKS.
Buzz works great through Maps, but has anyone got it working properly from the Browser via buzz.google.com? When I try to post a buzz through maps, it goes right through. But through browser, I just get the little grey "processing" spiral.
This Maps 4.0 have Navigation out of USA? Thanks
Weird... I can't find google maps on the market at all - no update or anything...
Do they roll it out gradually to people?
Or maybe it's because I installed the 2.1-patch1 myself? (didn't wait for the official notification)
My phone is stock non rooted and not unlocked.
testing.... no
Got the update last night in the android market, this is pretty cool.
Google maps is not in the market of free applications. Although free, you need to have access to the paid apps market.
How I can put Maps 4 in rooted Nexus?
Maps 4 have Navigator out of USA? I am Spanish

should be in the market. look for google maps and see which version you have installed. should be 4.0 .. if so do menu layers and buzz .. and thats it... start buzzing if you wish.
I've just restored apps after a wipe and my Google Maps is showing as 3.4. I go to market and it's not offering me an update. What can I do?
So far the Nexus S has been great - except for one niggling problem. The Navigation App just sits there at checking navigation availability. Anyone else seen this one? I only saw it once before with a custom kernel on an EVO
Had the same problem so i went into the app manager uninstalled updates an when to market an updated maps but now the problem im having is the navigation is searching for gps an thats it
Same problem here
Navigation has been working fine for me without a single hiccup. Have probably used it 20+ times so far.
Same problem. And it was perfect one nexus one

I just had this issue on my brand new MT4G
Here's how I fixed it
goto market, goto Maps and uninstall any updates
turn on GPS
turn on google maps
when it asks if you want to turn on WIFI, do it (don't have to even have a wifi network)
Load Navigation, it should work
Close everything, then goto Market, upgrade your google maps
Open google maps again, hit ok on new version info, should show location
load navigation
should work now
I had to take some various instructions from all over the web and alter it somewhat
hope it helps
Thanks just tried it works perfectly

This worked on my Nexus S, my navigation wasn't working recently when I was trying to show it off and it was embarrassing, now I'm back! I have thanked you
I don't have 'Maps' or google maps in my market to uninstall the updates ? I'm not located in US
I dont beleive this has been mentioned here... Apologies if it has! *mods please delete if duplicate*
A free UK sat nav alternative to Google Maps Navigation.
(Android 2.2 +) Download and install maps after the software installation via the NavFree store (Map also free). Then no need for a data connection to navigate the maps.
might be useful when out in the wilds!
I picked it up via expansys - just google 'NavFree expansys'
APK is 65Mb so free space needed! Due to the size I can't attach.
Cheers

I've downloaded and installed this, thanks. Unfortunately, when I try to run it, I just get a black screen for a few seconds then I'm back to my home screen. Has anyone else had the same problem? I've not downloaded any maps yet (waiting for a wifi connection!), but I doubt if that's the problem.
Edit:
I've since found THIS discussion. It seems this doesn't work with Gingerbread at the moment, but they're working on it.
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.
Me and several friends of the German PX5 community have severe problems with google maps on PX5 units.
It often hangs especially after input destination on route calculation or after that starting moving map, but also after some time of moving map up.
I have the issue with the latest hot audio rom as with Malaysk both using the same kernel from rocky 28-AUG, others told having the issue for some time already.
I'm testing the unit for 4 weeks now and first haven't experienced the issue so much, but after others told I tested google maps more intensively and it is reproducible with increasing intensity. You can trigger it easily doing a voice input to some city some 100 miles away "OK Google - route to ....". I usually need only few tries then.
Or you can download version 4.46.2.
9.46.2 is the right version

Off what? GMaps? Download and install as apk and never update?
Discussed extensively in PX5/Dasiata forum thread....

Same issue here, just when you start to navigate it hangs. Maybe when maps starts its route announcement, never hear that. Happens in all roms that I have tried. Just installed Malaysk V5, tried V4, stock and rooted HA. Tried all the forum tips and tricks like turn off navigation monitoring, be persistent, no offline maps.
Yes, remove maps and install the 9.46.2 apk and don't update it until the issue is fixed. Lots of links to it on the forum to it or can be found on the web. I also tried 9.50.2 and it worked about 95% of the time. I heard someone trying a beta 9.61.0 said it worked OK. Let's hope it does and it is released soon.
Until then it would be nice if someone with the know how could trouble shoot this and get to the root of the issue.
Same thing here.. MX head unit. the only version that works without issues is 9.46.2.
Is this issue in PX3 units as well or they are able to run the latest version without issues?? Anyone knows?

Issue is that if you use AndroidAuto, it will update the Maps application and you are back where you started.
In titanium backup, you can turn off the auto update per app.

Is that different from turning it off in the play store?
No but in play store you can only do this for all apps. In titanium you can do this for every app separately.

Play store will do it separately. When in my apps, to to the store on the app you want to disable and click the menu upper right and uncheck auto update.

Right, but AndroidAuto will ask you to update Maps, and if you say no, it will exit. Unless you're saying the titanium backup will override this behaviour?
So anyone knows if google maps new versions work ok on PX3 head units?
I don't but no big deal to try.
If not just delete and install older apk, login all your data is in google cloud.
Only offline maps take time and data to download.

I do not have a PX3 unit ( I have a PX5), so I am asking if anyone with PX3 unit have the same issues with google maps.
I recommend keeping 9.42 apk on the device in case it is accidentally updated in the field and rollback needed.
I had to clear data memory of Google App, Services and Playstore due to several crashes of google - indicating more issues then just google maps.
After that autoupdate was enabled again and done, so be careful if you have to do this some day, disable wifi or whatvever to prevent update.
It is not a problem to install the older apk over the newer, but offline maps are gone then and so it is better to deinstall and reinstall anyway to prevent problems. Selecting the offline map ranges is somehow buggy (random shifts) and download takes lot of time and data some GB.
Not that this is a solution, but I've switched to using Waze.
Doesn't crash.
Doesn't work with Android Auto either though.
Can anyone provide the correct link to the working Google maps? There are multiple variations.
Is it this one?
