It was removed because Google Maps was updated with Google Navigation and it's ONLY for Android 1.6 and 2.0.
Unfortunately, you won't be able to download it anymore from the market at least until we get Android 2.0 on our phones.
Here is version 3.1.2 from my phone. Please UNZIP it before you try installing it. I suggest using ASTRO File Manager to install the .apk file.
Hope this helps.
Thanks a million, ironically this was probably the most difficult file to Google for.
Happy Thanksgiving for giving.
If your country has official Google nav support, this isn't for you.
Hey guys,
I've modified Brut.all's Maps to better suit my taste and with Brut.all's permission I'd like to share the *.apk with you.
What's changed:
All icons with "BRUT" watermark reverted to stock
The [brut] suffix removed from the application name
Package name reverted back to com.google.android.apps.maps, so everything works correctly, including Car Panel and Chrometophone.
Bonus:
Zipaligned
Map caching enabled by default
DISCLAIMER
I am in no way responsible for damage done to your phone or to you, reindeers run over, alien abductions or global warming Everything you do, you're doing at your own responsibility. The one and only author of this great mod is Brut.all, so all cash and women are to be sent to him.
DOWNLOAD & INSTALLATION:
1) Always do a nandroid backup.
2) Download the zip file below, put it to your SD card root and flash via recovery or ROM Manager.

KNOWN ISSUES:
Some users are reporting that they don't see Maps, Navigation, etc. in the app drawer after they install the update.zip.
If you are experiencing this issue, read post #80, it contains an explanation and a fix as well. It may be a bit drastic, but it's the price you have to pay if you want to use this mod.
Enjoy
Special thanks to Brut.all for his work and friendly approach & to ivarson_swe for the help with package name reversion, and for the tip with enabling the map caching feature by default.

Works great! thanks for the Mod squrl! the only thing not working is voice search though
Tanks!

Great work, but i wonder is that possible to change package name to "com.google.android.apps.maps" instead of "brut.googlemaps" ???
reason to change: brut.googlemaps doesn't work in chrometophone

chrometophone asks what application you want to use when you send it something from google maps to your phone.
So no problem here.
Maybe you selected to allways use the normal google maps?

Strange, i use brut version, because can't install the normal, flashed a rom without google maps over a rom witch had google maps and now can't install the normal version.
But when i send some route with chrome2phone it asks if i want to open it with my browser or googlemaps brut. and it works normaly.
i first flashed this one and then i had to install maps.brut...i wouldnt work if i didnt..and then navipanel separately..and now it works flawlessly
thanx m8

may i know which version of chrometophone and brut you using?
I'm trying to apply the zip via open recovery but it fails "E:Could not find the update-binary." anyone knows how to avoid this? Thanks!
Which recovery are you using? The stock? I recommend clockworkmod recovery by Koush, you can either flash it permanently to your Desire using unrEVOked, or use it with the fake-flash method.
Brut has a new version 4.4, brut15 out. Can you, by any chance, modify it for the Car Panel again?

Great news
indeed great news.
Version 4.4.0 (brut16) up! Check first post
Hi I'm from the Philippines and never did get Brut's maps to work over here!
Is it supposed to work?
Also tried installing this package but it doesnt show up in my app list, how am I supposed to install this? Thanks
Hi everyone,
I downloaded the extracted .apk from latest Google Android release 2.3.4
The .apk is atached below.
I have had no success in installing the app on my 2.3.3 ROM on my Samsung Galaxy S. I tried pushing it to /system/app via Root Explorer, but once you try to install package it just doesn't install by saying "Aplication not installed".
Im no dev or whatsoever,so I would encourage anyone who could help to make it work on 2.3.3, Google stated in Google Mobile Blog that Google Talk with Video Chat will be for 2.3+ devices, so it "should" work on 2.3.3.
Any help is appreciated! Share your thoughts!
Try pushing it into system/app and then change permissions. Reboot and post result.

Its not any different than the latest on the market?
Attach the .odex file here as well. However, can you link me to the place you took the file from? I might need the entire framework to deodex it

I doubt that it will work until you upgrade the OS version to 2.3.4, it might be integrated with os changes.

That was my first thought too, but after downloading the entire update it looks like that might not be the case. There aren't a ton of changes in there, and only two updated system apps. One of which is gtalk, the other is an nfc app(for supported devices obviously). I haven't looked through anything else yet(I'm slacking off enough at work as it is), but it would appear the changes are minimal.
Edit: found a new libtalk_ini.so file in /system/lib/
That may help? Anybody have time to try?
I really wish I knew how to do this stuff. I would love to give it a try but I'm so lost! Time to do some reading! LOL
The manifest for this apk says the target and minimum sdk version is 10, which is 2.3.3....so there's a good chance that after some deodexing and supporting files this will work no problemo
That's the key. It should work on 2.3+ as stated by Google, so I think i'ts up to deodexing and adding the proper files. Sure someone experienced can do it

if it gets deodexed will it work on an odexed rom?

Generally, yes.
I got it to run, but I can't tell how to start a video chat. I pushed the apk, and odex file to the system/app directory and the jnk.so file to the system lib directory. Ran Talk and it opened fine...

Btw, its very possibly its simply running the standard install of Talk.apk instead of Talk2.apk... I'll try removing the Talk.apk...
-- Confirmed. I removed the Talk.apk from the system/app/ folder... lost my Talk icon in the launcher. Rebooting; maybe it will showup after reboot.
-- Ok, now I'm not completely convinced that you can get rid of Talk.apk when you push Talk2.apk. They both may have to be there.
I just found out about this great "file station tablet" & I'm hardly trying to download it from the market but I can't & it's killing me. I Appreciate in advance if someone can upload the apk file somewhere, so I can picck it up.
here is the free version
is this tablet version

Sorry for my noobness, but how do you install it?

It's an apk, you should open and install it. Not sure how it worked with cwm for you.
First of all why does this apk name end by 1 while all others end by 2?
Second thing is that I couldn't install it.
I've tried the normal installation, but it tells me it wasn't installed.
I also tried to manually move it to both /system/app and /sdcard/system/app, but it doesn't appear in the apps list.
How on Earth do I have to do it?
*Update*
OK I found out that for some reason the Rocket ROM v22 old Market apk was called Phonesky.apk (OK...) so I only needed to rename it and replace it with the new APK by using then the same name.
While I was going into the Android Market, the new Play Store kicked in and it got installaled into my phone.
I shared it for who hasn't received it yet
What changed?

Sorry for ruining your party but...
The new Google Play 3.4.6 is obsolete already!
Google Play 3.4.7 was released earlier this afternoon. I've attached the new version but for reason I can't always upload my files although they're within the guidelines. Go figure.
Enjoy lads
