Google Maps after 1.1.4 update

Before updating to 1.1.4 Google map's locator was very accurate, now it is pretty off..... Is this because of the update? can it be fixed?

You know, I found something pretty unique.
Edge is very inaccurate. You can test this one of two ways.
Find a friend with an iPod touch and use the feature in the same place.
Since the iPod touch only uses one medium for location, depending on how accurate that one is, is how accurate the whole thing is. My friends iPod touch was right on as to where we were, but then again you have to be in wifi to try it.
I just conducted an experiment with just my phone.
1. type in the exact address for the red pin.
2. while in this hotspot, eject your sim tray so that you're phone is only using wifi and use the locator feature. it should be pretty close to your actual location. then use both wifi and edge and see how far off, and then turn off wifi and use just edge. I found that with wifi, my location was barely within the boundary of blue, then when I was using both, it was way off to the north west, and then just using edge it was off the the east.
I suppose it depends all on where you live, but hopefully apple deploys some new technology for figuring the formula in the next update. Maybe asking if we want to go off of wifi, edge, or both. Or perfect the service lol.

Can't install Google Maps after upgrading to iOS 8

I try to install Google Maps into my iPhone 4S. The Google Maps icon shows it is loading on an iPhone page. When the installation finishes, the Google Maps icon disappears and I am unable to use Google Maps. Google Maps remains in the list of apps with the button showing Remove, so iTunes appears to think that Google Maps is installed. I click Remove and click Sync and the button shows Install. How can I fix this loading failure?

Can't use keyboard with google voice after 1.3.1 update

Prior to 1.3.1, when I received a call via Google Voice, when prompted with the option to "1 take the call, 2 send to voicemail etc" I could just slide out the keyboard and hit which ever number I wanted. Now, (after 1.3.1) the keyboard seems unresponsive, and I must manually: 1) switch to keypad view 2) select the key I want.
Is anybody else experiencing this? Or has anybody already filed a grievance under the feature request section of the Palm site?
Thanks!
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

Hi there,
I am getting voice prompts to: "press 1 to take the call, press 2 to send to voice mail etc". My "1" key works just fine. It is more the delay in my ability to use it that is different between 1.2.1 and 1.3.1
Previously, I could press the key and it would work right away. I could pick up the call, or send to voicemail, etc.
Now, I press it and nothing happens, however, by the time the voice prompt returns to repeat my options, my keyboard starts to work..
I hope that's more clear!
Thanks!

Where are my bookmarks in Apple maps after the iOS 8 update?

What happened to my bookmarks in Apple maps now that I have upgraded to iOS 8?

They will show up when you are in the field to Seach or Enter an Address:
Bookmarks for maps in iOS 8 missing
When you are getting Directions between 2 locations, however, they don't show up (for me); just start typing the name of the Favorite or Recent or Contact, and choices will appear.

Google missing after 16.0.2 update?

Before upgrading to 16.0.2, anything typed in my address bar would go directly to google if it wasn't a valid URL, but now it just says the URL is invalid. I checked to make sure that keyword search was enabled in about:config and it was. So I don't know what the problem is.
Similarly, the smaller searchbar beside the address bar seems to refuse to acknowledge Google's existence. It is no longer an option and I cannot add it through "Manage Search Engines."
And I cannot "Restore Defaults" in "Manage Search Engines," it's greyed out, no matter what I seem to do.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Do you still have the google.xml file in the searchplugins folder in the Firefox program folder?
*(32 bit Windows) C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\
*(64 bit Windows) C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\
Try to delete search.json file and a possible search.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder to reset the search engines.

Embeded Google map (iframe) not displaying correctly after jquery .fadeIn?

Hi,
I have created a popup window that displays a Google Map after a button is clicked. The map works fine if the popup window =display:block. But as soon as you give the popup window display:none and use jquery to display the window them map doesn't load correctly.
Any help would be great.
See jsfiddle for code.
This is what the map should look like after the "Venue" button is clicked using jquery fadeIn.
Thanks

Anakin-
I'm getting a decompression error when downloading your site.
you might try...
var container = sym.$("container");
var map = '<iframe width="'+container.width()+'" height="'+container.height()+'" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="https://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=7120+Boul +St+Laurent,+Montreal,+QC,+Canada&aq=0&oq=7120+boul+st&sll=45.534114, - 73.617124&sspn=0.006907,0.016512&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=7120+Boulevard+Sai n t-Laurent,+Montr%C3%A9al,+Communaut%C3%A9-Urbaine-de-Montr%C3%A9al,+Q u %C3%A9bec+H2S,+Canada&t=m&z=14&ll=45.534114,-73.617124&output=embed"></iframe>';

How do I revert back to google maps?

Does anyone know how to revert back to google maps, if you have alrady updated the iOS 6 update? I'm already hearing negavtive map locations. Please help
joe in dallas

While it is true you can't revert back to the original app, you can install a Google Maps app that uses Google data is is from Google themselves, and works very well. It is the Google web app map. To put it on your screen just like a regular app, open Safari in iOS and navigate to maps.gooogle.com. It should show you how to add this as a web app, but if it doesn't just hit the bookmark icon and select "Add to Home Screen". Viola, you now have an icon on your home screen that brings up Google Maps.

Copy & Paste into Google Maps no longer works after 4.2 update

Anyone else seem to be getting this problem? Copy and paste into Google maps was extremely useful. Now this doesn't seem to work for me after updating to 4.2.

1. Copy something into the clipboard (doesn't matter what it is)
2. Open Google maps
3. Try to paste into the search bar. You don't get the paste option.
4. Try to type something into the search bar then attempt to copy what you just typed. No options appear to copy what was just typed in.
This used to work prior to the 4.2 update. Very useful when receiving incomplete addresses via text message or from a web page.

After most recent update, google maps will not load, i'm using cricket a600 USB on a dell inspiron windows 7?

I can use IE browser and Google maps loads fine. I can use my droid bionic as a hot spot (using Verizon 4GLTE) and Google maps loads fine. I can go to McDonald's and use their WI-FI and it loads fine. But my CRICKET a600 USB is worthless using Firefox 8. I need Google maps for my lively hood. Very frustrating. I don't care to use IE as my main browser..please advise. Thanks, STEVE in OMAHA, NE

well done ipodincalifornia and IlliniVishal!
(so this can sometimes work with a Vaio too? good lord.)
it might also be worth heading to the support pages for your laptop makes and models to check for any chipset updates or other updates relevant to the USB. i've seen some hints lately that some peculiar issues with USB on HPs could be resolved by a chipset update. (although those problems seem to present in different ways than a "Firmware Update Failure".)

How do I get Google maps with Streetview after iPhone update to OS 6.0?

I just updated my iphone to OS 6.0, and by doing so the Google maps app, which was working quite fine, got replaced with an Apple map app, which is significantly inferior and doesn't feature Streetview. I downloaded Google maps, but it doesn't have Streetview. How do I get the original app back (or something similar)?

Hi Eric. I did add Google using CalDAV. It seemed to work and sync changes instantly. However, I still needed to keep my "synchronize with google" account on "on my Mac". This made no sense to me. Why do I need both of these to make Google contacts sync properly?
Something I did find out: My "synchronize with google" account on "on my Mac" did eventually sync with my google account (please ignore the CalDAV comment for this point). However, it took multiple hours for the syncing to occur. So, the original way I tried to do it (explained in my original post) did work, but it took multiple hours for the auto syncing to occur. This is a failure from an autosyncing perspective.
While I did come up with a work around using a second CalDAV account in additon to my original "synchronize with google" account, I am still confused on the right way to do it. Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks

Google Maps Widget doesn't work after upgrade to Safari 4.0

After a lengthy bit of trouble shooting with an iWeb specialist yesterday, we reached a conclusion that somehow installing the release version of Safari 4.0 (released Monday, 6/8) causes the GoogleMaps widget to not function or display properly. Using backup harddrives of recent systems, the widget worked properly in OS X 10.5.7 running iWeb 3.0.1 with both Safari 3.2 and the BETA VERSION of Safari 4. On that same system, once I download and installed the release of Safari 4., the maps widget would not work or display properly.
To describe what doesn't work: None of the options (search field, address bubble, or zoom controls) appear regardless of what the user selects in the HUD when creating or editing the content. I am unable to pan and/or scroll around the map within its bounding box at all. The only thing I am able to do is edit the address field in the HUD and end up with a map with that location centered in the window.
The AppleCare specialist didn't have much response in that I think this is a brand new and VERY obscure bug.
I am curious to know if anyone else has exprienced this condition.

It may be obscure in iWeb but the Safari 4 update has messed up the Google maps in iPhoto big time. Be sure to report it as they are all related to the Safari 4 upgrade and probably only be solved by a Safari fix.
