Google Maps

[Guest PaulD76]

Hello

Maybe i am not being too clever, but i cannot find Google Maps on my omnia.

I look in the manual and it says to go \ START \ Programs \ Google Map... but I dont see that!! ggrrr..

Any ideas? I got the vodafone Find & go but that says it not available yet.. ggrr

cheers for any tips

i think vodafone are in the process of putting their own front end on the google maps app and calling it find and go, hence why the voda bods have decided to strip their omnias of the google maps app.

i have google maps running on my voda omnia and its great, cant wait until the find and go app is available, just to see how it compares.

try

for info, or go to

www.google.co.uk/gmm

on your mobile browser to download the installer. only takes a few seconds to do. (less than 1mb for the installer)

enjoy ;)

Dan Sansome, some people have had trouble adding in Googlemaps as it doesnt reconise their device and installs a java version...

Heres the correct .cab file to install googlemaps (ripped from the Omnia firmware)

Heres the correct .cab file ripped from the Samsung i900 for google maps

Vodafone hide the google map prog in the windows folder and its hidden so you need to unhide the files in the folder.

how do you do that please?

just open the file explorer on your device, click on menu and then activate "show all files". that should be all. then you will find googlemaps under "my Device / windows"
