odd. it works like i described on my devices.

i have an App that is FC'ing on the latest version so have Auto-update unchecked and the Play Store will always ask if I want to skip the update for that App.

EDIT: i'm running a non-stock Play Store (inverted, multi-DPI). maybe this feature was added. i'll have to look.

Set ur Google Account Syncing options to not sync apps before u take a new or formatted device online.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] latino147:
That never worked for me. It seems like the auto-update works for ALL apps or none.

When you login with your account you get the question if you wan't to back up your settings etc to Google, the next checkbox states if you want to retrieve all these settings (including apps!) automatically. Uncheck this one and restore everything with TiB :)

Did the latest (8.2) maps update break the ability to install the apk from this thread by its side? The update fails to install, or this apk fails to install (when uninstalled to allow the play store update).

Is it just me?

Edit: found a way around it - put GOGMaps apk into system/apps folder, rebooted the phone, and all is well.

does it support Android 4.4.2?

Thanks for genius.lizard2 to create the special google map V6. It resolves my issue perfectly for my tablet LG G pad 8.3 LTE:

The google map V7.0.2 is installed as a default app in my tablet. But I cannot load "my places" for this version. And I can not uninstall it without root.

I do not want to root my tablet. Fortunately, I find genius.lizard2's GM here. It works perfectly in my current Android 4.2.2. :good:

But the new update of Android 4.4.2 for my tablet has been released. I do not do this update because I saw some guys said google account cannot login for the GM V6.14.4 under Android 4.3. So my question is can the V6.14.4 NoMod support Android 4.4.2 and google account can login for 4.4.2?

Many thanks! :fingers-crossed:

On my older devices i was using 6.14 because it work at 60 fps, zero lag. Any newer then this has huge lag.

When i bought my note3, with 4.4.2 /other with 4. 3, i used titanium backup to uninstall 7.5.0 and install 6.14 oficial. It was not working.

Now i found your version and is awesome. Zero lag on note3. 4.4.2, working just fine.

Thank you

Thank you!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!!

Thank you for the link to the old Google Maps! I cannot express how grateful I am. I registered just to thank you. For awhile I Iwas tethering my Galaxy Note 3 to my old Droid x that still ran the old version on it and it worked great until someone stole my make up bag out of my car that contained the Droid x (I only used the phone for the old Google Maps).

Now I can actually SEARCH for stores, or wherever I need to go, on my way TO my designation instead of exiting my designation and finding stores only in that vicinity. I cannot believe that the person running the Google maps dept hasn't been fired. What are they THINKING over there?

Again, thank you. You are have saved me hours of frustration.

God bless you!

But now i got an issue: i can login into my Google-account, i can also see the places i saved.

Now, when i start the Blue-Icon-Navigation-App i have no starred places at all.

This worked with the original Blue-Icon-Navigation, but now for some reason it doesn't work. :confused:

Any help regarding this issue? Could not find any further information about it.

When typing in any search field (the regular one or directions) the search history or previous matching searches do not show up. I found few mentions of this via the built-in thread search here, so I guess this is working as intended. But why this feature is disabled? Surely it had to be working in the official version?

Hi!

It crashes from the start "Unfortunately, MapsD has stopped working"

Any workaround for this cos I did try searching through this thread but found nothing.

Thanks!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] buell47:
Why you want this App.

I have the same device and the same firmware.

You already have maps version 6 installed.

If not, because you updated it to version 7, just uninstall maps 7 and you will have version 6 back.

Desktop Classic Maps will be RIP soon (recent newsletter from Maps: http://i.imgur.com/9RKdm1O.png). This will at least have one effect on v6 Maps, as you obviously will no longer able to edit the old-style custom/saved maps or create them at all.

ok

i have downloaded maps Nima and also disabled the Maps app which were pre installed. but i find one issue which i would like esteemed members to help me out

what happens is this : let us say i search for a location in Google chrome. then in the search results Google puts a small map (which is the top most search result) Now, when i click on that small map, the android engine takes me to Play store and asks me to Enable the Maps i have disabled...

so is there any way we can force the android engine to instead open the Nima Maps ???

thanks for reading! any assistance will be very helpful please

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Shinkoku:
Guys, any way to make these maps see maps created on the new PC Google Maps version?

This app is so great. But it cannot load new maps anymore, since google turned off its classic maps interface and forced users to stick to its new confusing design. New google maps designers should burn in hell.

Any workaround to make this version of map see newly created PC maps?..

Or maybe there's a way to keep using classic map interface on PC still, somehow. That would be great.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] wirelesscord:
Probably no way, because the API is different. Actually, not even the latest official Maps is "able" to show the custom maps (unless it has been added recently), which is why one needs to use this new My Maps app, which is of course just f-ing stupid.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.m4b

Two apps doing what one app used to be able to do is stupid, but I guess this separate My Maps is sort of a blessing for us in the end, because without it, we would have to use the new Maps side by side anyway for custom maps.

The Classic Maps (desktop) still works, but according to the email sent to all? Maps users, it will be gone soon.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Shinkoku:
wirelesscord

Thanks for your reply!

Sad, very sad. Being a freelancer I used them a lot. They were more convenient and easy to operate (far from perfect anyway, it's google ;))

Maybe there's some PC app that might create old-style maps? Like Bluestacks for Windows. I am not into programming that much, don't know what API is...

I cannot create any map with classic desktop version for couple of weeks already. I can draw the route, but there's no "save" button anymore to save the map. Can you??

If I could use classic maps for some more time I'd create some walking maps to different stations, at least. And use them with MapsD.

New my maps app is some freaky ****. I have a feeling google fired all designers and hired some jerks instead. What's happening.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] wirelesscord:
API means application programming interface. Is the Maps API (custom maps related parts) even public? If not, then no chance of any 3rd party application doing this...

Seems to be the case... save button does not show up when searching directions. You can still create normal maps though, "My places" > "Or create with classic My Maps".
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Shinkoku:
I found this on the web. What about it? It says Google Maps API with less pain and more fun :cool:

Wonder if something can be done with that.

Using dumb "my maps" is really the thing I would like to avoid.

This is how I usually create maps - using my spaces. But the save button does not show up no matter which way I try!

I choose two places - A and B. It shows me the route by steps, and then below the route I could see the "save" button before. But it's gone now.

Choosing "classic interface" doesn't help either.

Does it still work with you, now?? :eek:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] wirelesscord:
I meant that it does not work. And probably won't ever again, to me feels like it has been removed on purpose since the classic maps are really no longer supported...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Shinkoku:
Right.

Sad when good services go. Google hate level has risen again :mad:

Can anything be done with that "Google Maps API with less pain and more fun" thing I posted? Does that apply to what we talk here at all?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] longtalker:
Is anyone's MyMaps loading at all, with the 6.14.4 version? When I login and try to load MyMaps, it says "No My Maps found", even though I have plenty.

Presumably this is because of Google's idiotic take-down of the MyMaps framework? Is there no way around it, even when using this APK?

Otherwise, I know there is the Engine replacement for this, which is decent enough on a desktop, but the latest Android version of Google Maps still doesn't let you load any of those custom-made maps. Appalling!

Without MyMaps, there isn't much reason to go out of one's way for this downgrade, in my opinion, as that was the most important feature that was eliminated in the newer versions.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] joewein:
I am in the same situation. I kept (or reverted to) Maps 6.x.x on two phones and rejected all Maps updates primarily to be able to continue using my uploaded maps which I use on long distance bicycle rides called brevets. On my ride yesterday I got "No My Maps found" when trying to navigate using an existing map. Google must have pulled the plug on all the server-side infrastructure used by My Maps in 6.x.x.

My understanding is that with the new Maps Engine app on Android one can also use uploaded courses, but it doesn't support KML files as My Maps did. The files have to be CSV files, which route planning / GPS apps such as RideWithGPS don't support yet. I haven't found a good tool yet for converting KML / GPX / TCX files to the CSV files that Google now expects. Another problem I have with the new app is that it doesn't show the scale bar that the old app had. The best it can do is briefly superimpose it when you zoom in or zoom out, but then it hides it again.

So even if I could get the course files converted as required, it would not be a 100% replacement for the previous, much superior 6.x.x Maps app.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] longtalker:
Yes, our previously-created maps are now supported inside MyMaps, a separate app provided as a complement to the latest 7.x version of Google Maps. There, I seem to be able to load my old maps, although the icons of the different POIs are very large and awkward. You can create new maps but then can't really define new POIs (name, location, icon). All in all, a very beta-stage app.

With the old MyMaps functionality in google maps v6.x out, there is really no point in using this APK from what I can see. We'll just have to make do with the new My Maps app, which will hopefully receive an update to make it half-decent. The new Google Maps is otherwise improved for directions, business info etc.

I've been using Maps 6 in Android 4.4.4 for a while now and it's worked great (even logged-in!).
