I’ve downloaded GMaps ver 4.0.2 into my Storm with os 5.0.0.484. one problem I found : the maps view cannot rotate into landscape and the keyboard wouldn’t hide (even when I swap it). Actually it worked fine when I used ver.3.2 .
I really love this application, anyone can help me?

Google Maps 3.0.2 runs fine on my storm but it does not access the device GPS. Triangulation location only which is basically useless. Come on Google, how hard can this be?

A-GPS is Assisted GPS, meaning that the towers help you get your location to then lock the GPS sats in record time. It is not triangulated position as you think, as yes, google maps currently works on the Storm.

I edited the permissions, etc. Nothing. To be clear to everyone, ignore posts that say that Google Maps has an option tab. IT DOESN’T. These people are just getting confused.

Frankly, I think Google screwed up. This update only gives you A-GPS which is only accurate to 1.9 km. They still have not connected to the Autonomous GPS chip inside the Storm. We will still have to wait….

If you want GPS working on a Google Map, use the Poynt app. It successfully plots your GPS location onto Google Maps, plus it helps you find stuff near by. And its Free!

I installed google maps per your instructions. It said it was successfully installed. It seemed to work. I closed the application. Now I can’t find it on my storm. When I click on the pre-installed google maps icon it looks the same as it did before I installed the new version. Can you advise?
