Has anyone been able to get this new version of Google Maps that syncs Starred places from your desktop to your phone? Official Google Mobile Blog: Take your places and searches to go with Google Maps for mobile). This feature (accessing starred places) is one of the few things I miss about my Windows Mobile phone.

It's hard to believe that Android would be lacking the following features from its own creator:
-remote wipe
-backup
-file/photos sync
-lost phone tracking
-"itunes" sync
Just wondering if Google mentioned they would be making one.
Any idea when an update to Google Maps might be happening? Specifically I'm looking for the layers & My Maps functionality. Something I had in my Nokia N96 version before taking the plunge and upgrading to a HTC Hero. Seems I've taken a back step as currently these functions aren't available yet!

Last week I got and update alert for Google Maps. I tried to install it and got a "Install error" "Package file not signed correctly".
What's strange about it is, I already had the version it wanted me to install. Version 3.1.2. It also doesn't show up in aTrackdog but does show in apps drawer and works fine. The market shows that I don't have it installed. All other Google apps are working and show where they should. This started before the C&D order.
3.2.1 in the Market. And my phone says it is running 3.2.0. Anyone tried this? If this is old news than i am sorry that I have been actually working today.
View 21 Replies View RelatedLooks like there is a newer version of Google Maps in the market than that which is on the Droid. On the Droid = 3.2.0 in market place is 3.2.1. I installed it and the navigation and all still seems to be there. Not sure what was in the updates but it did upgrade the version number.
View 21 Replies View RelatedI am new to Android and so I may be missing some very basic things here. I am trying to host custom KML files on a server behind my firewall and display those KML files on the Android emulator. I started by writing a simple app that uses an Intent to display the overlay and pointing the app at geo:0,0?q=
http://code.google.com/apis/kml/documentation/KML_Samples.kml. This works in the emulator.
Next I downloaded that KML file and posted it on my web server (Apache 2.2 on Fedora). I added an AddType directive for the .kml extension and restarted HTTPD. When I point my simple app's Intent to my internally hosted KML file I get the error "The community map could not be displayed because it contains errors." I added some code to try and download the KML file independently of the KML so I could check the status line and the like:
final HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
final HttpGet get = new HttpGet("http://mycompany.com/data/KML_Samples.kml");
try { final HttpResponse resp = client.execute(get);
android.util.Log.e("MapOverlays", resp.toString());
} catch (Throwable t) {
android.util.Log.e("MapOverlays", "Exception", t);
}
With a breakpoint on the first Log message line I can inspect the results:
statusline = "HTTP/1.1 200 OK"
Content-Type: application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml
Here's the Intent I'm using:
final Intent intent = new Intent(
android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
Uri.parse("geo:0,0?q=http://mycompany.com/data/KML_Samples.kml"));
startActivity(intent);
So the two main questions are
What do I need to do to get KML loaded from a private server?
What tools are available (if any) to determine what is wrong with what I've done (something more informative than "The community map...")?
Are there any apps for Android like this one for iPhone?

I know about MyTracks, but it doesn't have access to maps in when you have no service.I would LOVE to find an "AccuTerra-like" app for Android that could replace a stand-a-lone GPS.for hiking specifically.
The classic version of Google works just fine. But the mobile version does not work. It comes up, I input an item to search, but then the search function doesn't work. The "hot key" if that is what it is called - the one one the face of our phones next to the back button works fine, too.
View 1 Replies View RelatedPer the title, there are new versions of Maps and Street View in the market. The Maps update is just to add walking directions I think and the street view was a more polished update. Street view doesn't work after install, at least on my Epic. I open maps, pick a road and long-click on it. A balloon pops up saying "Loading address" for about 30 seconds then give me a pop-up error that says "Data Connection Lost, Retrying" But, data is working just fine on the phone everywhere else. Try rebooting the phone after install, it helped. Still some errors but much better than before. It is awesome when it works. Try compass mode.

I extracted com.google.android.map.jar and com.google.android.map.xml and Map.apk files from the another development device which has google maps in it. I started with following procedure..
1. adb -d shell
2. # mount -o rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system mount -o rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system mount: Device or resource busy. I can't copy the above files to the /system/framework/ , /system/etc/ permissions/ , and /system/app to these directories.
C:>adb -d push C:GoogleMAPSMaps.apk /system/framework/ failed to copy 'C:GoogleMAPSMaps.apk' to '/system/framework// Maps.apk': Read-only file system
Is there any way to change the system image to Read write mode?

I currently have an iphone 3g and am going to be switching to an android device. I use google maps quite a bit on my iphone and over the past couple years I have accumulated a lot of bookmarked locations that I have saved on my phone. My question is, is there a way to sync all the locations I have saved on my iphone to my new phone? Or am I going to have to add all the bookmarked locations manually?
View 5 Replies View RelatedOn the Google 2010 I/O Day Two, they show a Google Chrome extension that they use to send an Android "intent" to the phone from Google Maps, and the phone takes that intent and shows you the mapping on it's screen.I'm having trouble finding this Extension now that I actually have an Android phone (EVO). I swear I had this on one of my computers before I had an android phone, but I try lots of stuff out and can't remember how I found it.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI know you can embed the Google maps view in an android activity, but is it possible to plug anything into the actual Google maps app. say if somebody clicked on a result in the map, and instead of the standard screen show a list of options, like when you share an image. Like "tag this". Something like that. I can't seem to find any info on that. Its all on integrating MapView into your app.

Is it possible to move routes/directions from Google maps on your PC web browser to maps and navigation on your phone?
I have worked out how to export kml files from Google Maps on the PC.

Also, is it possible to build a route with multiple destinations in Google Maps/Navigation on the phone?
I am trying to create a sample application to explore Google maps through android.

Any of you having a problem when you try to launch Navigation or Maps causes your phone to soft reset? I can't seem to figure it out and don't even know how to go about troubleshooting the problem.
