Where to download Google Maps for TP?

Hi!
Does anybody know from where I can download Google Maps? No, it did not come with the phone. And yes, I know that normally you get it from www.google.com/gmm - except that all I get from there is "Sorry, Google Maps does not work on your HTC TouchDual."
Do you guys get the same message?

use internet explorer to browse google.com/gmm
this is because opera's user agent..

To be honest I have never come across anyone who didn't have it installed as stock. Where did you get your TP from?
As for downloading it, you will need to search the forum and see if any one has extracted it from their TP as I assume it is a bespoke build for the software

no, it's a standard build. And there were problems with it on the diamond with it not shuttiong down the GPS properly and rinsing the battery in around 2.5 to 3 hours.
go to www.google.com/gmm using INTERNET EXPLORER and download the latest version!

EU units sold in expansys come without it.
I installed it no problem.

It wasn't pre-installed on mine.

Thanks! That worked. Didn't even occur to me to see if there is IE on this device

agreed, its such a pain in the ass to find the cab file for the latest google maps on the gmm website

I'm not sure, but...
http://www.google.com/gmm/GoogleMaps.CAB
I just directly go to that URL with Opera Mobile (case sensitive!) and download the cab

Is the google maps install on the UK version the full version or still linked to the web?

GPS problem or Google maps problem
Hi!
With IE, I got presumably the latest version, which seems to be 2.2.0.19.
However, I can not lock into satellites at all.
Before that I had found one web-site that hosted an earler version that was very quick to find satellites - it just was missing lot of features like the favorites and was nagging all the time about updates.
So the question is, is this a problem with GM? Or the phone otherwise? Here are my settings:
Windows GPS settings:
GPS program port: COM4
GPS hardware port: (None), Baud rate: 4800
Manage GPS automatically: checked
In Google Maps, I've selected the option to get position through Windows (as opposed to manual setup).
Does anybody know any free program that I can use to check out the GPS functionality preferably in a way that would give some deeper access to functionality - like the traditional satellite view? Thanks in advance!

Forgot some details:
I've run the QuickGPS - hope that is not what is confusing the GPS now as I had just had a update before this latest version of GM?
Google Maps just sits there with "searching for GPS-satellites (0)..." and never advances the count from 0...

DO a search and you will find a thread "testing gps" where you will find a tool for "testing gps"!

Read the other threads on gps performance!!!!!
YOur first lock on satilites can take upto 20mins, even though you have updated quickgps. You need to be stationary and preferably outside.

Thanks I'll try that tool.
However, I did have older GM installed previously and it found a lock in just a few minutes. Actually GM doesn't even wait 20 min before it shows you a screen that says that it can not get a fix.

I bought mine from Expansys.co.uk and mine came with it, although that was before the price drop so they may be differant units

you got the UK unit, not the EU one, possibly

Yes, 1.90.405.1 is the UK ROM.

Same problem with the set I bought in Singapore, no google map included, and thanks for the IE fix, weird why Opera can't do it though.
Cheers.

I just wanted to say, that my Touch Pro doesn't have GoogleMaps preinstalled

[Q] can't search on the map?

Hi dear,
I'm using Samsung Omnia 7 and I've successfully updated my phone to 7.0.7392.0.
But when I tried to search some place in bing "MAP" application, it just goes the bing search screen. I don't when it's been launched like this.
Anybody can help me?
My phone use I8700XENJK1 CSC.

There is a search button in the app. Just tap it.

Yeah, I did. But it goes to Bing Search.

it's within in the app, not the search button on the phone itself...
cheers,
simon

I know exactly what the OP is talking about... pressing that little search button opens IE Bing (at least on my Maps... and OP's it seems).

have a look at the following registry key on your wp7-device:
[HKLM\System\Search\LanguageSupport\xx-XX] (where xx-XX is your locale)
insert or set
RoutingSupported=dword:1
SearchSupport=dword:1
then it should be fixed!
confirmed the bing-search thing (within the maps application) by setting the value for RoutingSupported to 0 on my device --> hitting the search button opens bing search
changing it back to 1 gives me the ability to serch for destinations in the maps application...
cheers,
simon
p.s. your device has to be unlocked to use any registry editor - I used WP7 root tools by Heathcliff74 for changing the registry values...
see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021135

does it work with the changed registry key?
cheers,
simon

I'm trying now Thank you so much mate!

But it still doesnt work....

in which area do you live and what input locales did you set?
the first time I had to change my phone to german (germany) instead of german (austria) to able to search within the maps...
with german (austria) I had the same issues as you have - but with the two registry keys set I'm able to search within bing maps...

Damm, I have asked about this 2 weeks ago

It worked with polish local settings. Tested on LG E900, used build in registry editor.
PS code for Polish is pl-pl.

Good to hear it worked out...
BTW: which values did you add?
RoutingSupported=dword:1
SearchSupport=dword:1
or did you add GeocodeSupported=dword:1 as well?

I live in New Zealand and I set en-NZ input locales.
Still I can't search in bing map

Finally it works now on both devices, Samsung Omnia 7 and LG quantum
Thank you guys! It's so useful and easy!

what I have on my device:
regional settings are all to German (Austria)
HKLM\System\Search\LanguageSupport\de-AT
GeocodeSupported : DWord=1
RoutingSupported : DWord=1
SearchSupported : DWord=1
HKLM\System\SearchMaps\Configuration
AutoSuggestTimeoutMS : DWord=600
AutoSuggestUnsupportedLocale : DWord=0
MapsHistoryDeleted : DWord=0
MapsLocationAccess : DWord=1
OnlineAutoSuggest : DWord=1
SearchLocationAccess : DWord=0
SearchLocationConsentPrompted : DWord=1
I had a look at HKLM\System\Search\LanguageSupport\en-NZ as well:
without any changes there are
OnlineAutoSuggestions : DWord=1
SearchSupport : DWord=1
I just changed my regional settings to en-NZ on my device (with en-US as display language), opened bing maps and was able to search within the app (no fallback to bing search)... I was even able to navigate to a destination
What happens if you set your regional settings to en-AU?
Does it work then?
I hope you get your problem fixed...
cheers,
simon

But it seems it can't find any places in NZ.
It's weird.
I just set the one from your configuration. I'm gonna reboot it.
Thank you so much simon

I had the same problem after setting
HKLM\System\Search\LanguageSupport\de-AT
GeocodeSupported : DWord=1
When I delete this entry, search is fine again
I can reproduce this error, when setting the registry key GeocodeSupported : DWord=1 again
seems like some regions (like de-AT or en-NZ) do not support all features of bing maps (en-US has some more features)...
Try to delete the GeocodeSupported key and search should be ok again...
cheers,
simon

Yeah I deleted that key and it works so fine

[Q] USA results on Google Search - I'm in the UK

I had this problem on my Desire, and managed to fix it, but cannot for the life of me remember how.
I've tried everything i can think of, but when I search something like 'lottery', the results are for the US, not the UK (even though I'm searching with google.co.uk). Same when I search 'Spurs', I'm getting NBA related results rather than english football.
Google knows where I am when showing me local shops etc, but the results when searching are always UK first.
Can anyone help me with this?

[Q]How to update a Coolpad 9976A?

Hi to hall.This is a beginner question (i can help with your pets, I am only veterinarian). Appreciate the simple answer of the recognized experts in this fórum.
I only a week ago that I have the Coolpad 9976A and since I connected to the network, it asks me to update to version 2.056 (from .048). And although it seems trivial, I do not how to do it: I'm click on OK and leaves all in Chinese, as you know, and do not ask me more.
Nothing, happens:...a dialogue on gray background, which leads to nowhere, because the system is not updated. I leave this screen restarting with a long press on the power button. Goes off first and then restart, but nothing has been updated.
Can someone guide me in this?.
I tried to contact the brand, but email address which supplied, does not really exist and returned the mail to me, also have tried to contact anovo, technical service in Europe (I'm Spanish) but I had no answer.
I do not need rooting, or anything special, if update, because at least with this firmware, important errors occur in some google apps (i buyed on aliexpress and comes with play store) as maps, navigation, weather...etc.
Please, can anyone tell me how to proceed to update this firmware?
I've known by here, that there are two updates more after this. I guess I won't bother more with the following, if someone explains me, how to make the first...
Thank you in advance, sorry for my English, and regards to everyone!!

Switch from Hiboard to Google News Feed on Mate 30 Pro Global

Hello, I'm wondering if it is possible to switch from the Hiboard news feed to Google news feed, after GMS is installed? I've seen a thread for doing this on Mate 20 (on the link below), though as you know, that phone still supports Google, whereas Mate 30 Pro doesn't and I'm not sure what side-effects could occur. Has anybody already tried to change it?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-20/how-to/guide-switch-hiboard-to-google-feed-t3906678

Doesn't work.
You can still disable Hiboard with ADB but the Feed option does not appear afterwards.

I understand And has anybody tried and succeeded making it work any other way?
