Guest rulerofkaos Posted December 16, 2010 Report Posted December 16, 2010 (edited) Hey, Google Maps 5 is out: http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/16/google-...view-and-offli/ Looks really cool. Is it working for the Pulse, has anyone tested it, yet? Edited December 16, 2010 by rulerofkaos
Guest flip360 Posted December 16, 2010 Report Posted December 16, 2010 i dunno it will work on the pulse, do you have it in the market as an update?
Guest Sh4d0w940 Posted December 16, 2010 Report Posted December 16, 2010 I've got the update from the market and it seems to work. We can't use the cool MT functions ofcourse so it's not very special imho Sh4d0w940
Guest flip360 Posted December 16, 2010 Report Posted December 16, 2010 it is special, because we get an update that is vector based which should result in GMaps being much faster
Guest Fusion0306 Posted December 16, 2010 Report Posted December 16, 2010 it is special, because we get an update that is vector based which should result in GMaps being much faster I like the terrain layer :) It's cool ;) And I'm digging the vector based images. Looks better too
Guest Csöpi Posted December 16, 2010 Report Posted December 16, 2010 its working nice. Its a little bit faster, but the missing multy tuch:(
Guest flip360 Posted December 16, 2010 Report Posted December 16, 2010 too bad we cannot make the dualtouch move to switch to 3d
Guest Alcarne Posted December 16, 2010 Report Posted December 16, 2010 (edited) Looks exactly the same to me. No compass mode, no 3D. Does seem a bit quicker. Edited December 16, 2010 by Alcarne
Guest Posted December 16, 2010 Report Posted December 16, 2010 (edited) And again with map tiles. The vectorbased graphics are only useable on the newest phones. In fact the desire doesnt get the vector based maps at all (and it had much more Power than the Pulse). Only a few new devices like desire hd get the Vector based maps Edited December 17, 2010 by Guest

But after watching videos on youtube, I'm sure to say that we don't have the vector map options... I'm kinda dissapointed... Too bad

Too bad Cant remember the name but a XDA member (Brut? maybe) made a custom version of maps and even months ago it used googles then experimental vector graphics so unless google is limiting it to newer phones specifically i dont know. But vector maps do work on plus.

Guest rulerofkaos Posted December 17, 2010 Report Posted December 17, 2010 In this thread in the xda forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=630887 is a link of a beta version of google maps 5 with force-enabled vector maps: http://www.multiupload.com/9F6S963HXP For me it's working, compass mode, too, but 3D-buildings not.

As we dont have the Multitouch option... :huh: Thanks! (For me, the brut version doesn´t install at the moment :blink: )

(For me, the brut version doesn´t install at the moment :blink: ) You see 3D buildings from the top or you click the my location button an the viewing angle changes. For me the ownhere resigned version installed.

Woher kommst Du denn aus Deutschland, Bundesland? Danke und Liebe Grüße :blink:
