Google Maps

[Guest DesireUK]

Hi,

Ive just recently rooted my desire, and have found that google maps has disappeared from the apps list.

when i go to settings>applications, i can see maps installed, and also when i go to android market, google maps is shown as installed, however, cant find it anywhere.

having also updated to custom rom with the navigation panel ... i can see maps in that navigation panel, but it doesnt load. any ideas where the google maps app is gone ? or what i can do to bring it back / reinstall it?

should i create another custom rom with maps and just flash my device again?

:P

I'm no expert but my phone did this and I did a full wipe, reinstalled the rom and google maps was still missing. What sorted it out in the end was "fixing the mismatch UID". I did this by going into the Quick Boot app, choosing the recovery console, selecting the Other option and then fixing the UID mismatch.

Hope it works for you and thanks to Robot1000, who suggested the fix.

Thanks for this, i managed to fix it using the uid mismatch fixing thing ... and now i have the wi-fi problem which alot of other people are having on this forum. :P
