Haha, nah I probably shouldn't :) But I just follow the guides and use the code provided and it has worked like a charm before. Used several different ROMs and I've installed the rooted maps several times before on several different ROMs and it has worked with "-delete" everytime, so I'm a bit confused why it won't work now :)

Tried /? "help" but I couldn't find any command for deleting files :)
[G1 Android Development] alongusername1:
Thanks a lot, the rm command worked just fine. Now I just have one question left, why is the -delete command broken since I installed CM 4.2.14.1 ??? :)

Google Maps Upgrade

Just saw the new version appear on the market here in the uk, upgraded with the Brut goodness, no problems at all flawless. Cheers top Notch.:D
[G1 Android Development] The Spirit:
i don´t want to do it manually, so i installed the version from the market.

but this doesn´t work for me, so i don´t know what i should read in the first post.

can you explain it to me, what i am missing?

thanks

Be thankful you can run it at all. I can't even get it to start on my Dwang ROM.

Anyone got any ideas if/how we can get this working on Donut-ish versions?

http://ul.to/cle2zs/maps4.0.0-1.6-brut3.apk

http://ul.to/al55qq/maps4.0.0-1.6-brut3-nonroot.apk

There will be probably more and more different versions of maps, so I have chosen naming convention like above. It is 4.0.0 version of maps for Donut (so no MT!), with my hack ver. 3 (INT navi with known issues) and second one is for non-rooters.

I will try to port MT, but it may be nearly impossible to do. I think there will be an update for Nexus soon.
[G1 Android Development] thiasB:
not possible to modify the 4.0.0 the same way as you did with 3.4 which has MT enabled on Eclair ROMs?.
[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
my nexus was notified of an update today. unfortunately i pushed your MT 3.4 across yesterday so cant DL it for you....

just tried to go back to stock so i could DL the new update but could for the life of me get it to work... any ideas how to go to stock? I tried to remove everything but when i did uninstall it failed... and the DL of maps from market failed instalation as well...
[G1 Android Development] canadiancow:
So to confirm these will work on 1.6, and do not have multitouch, but the 3.4.0 version does have multitouch? I should be getting my Nexus One early next week, so I'm hoping to really revamp Nav Launcher.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, used the unlocked version in Australia, working perfectly.

[G1 Android Development] dam666:
I have a Nexus One

Just upgraded the Maps through market. (It went from 3.4 to 4.0)

Then used apkInstaller to install the 4.0 unrooted hack (Thanks Brut.all for these by the way).

You don't have to uninstall any previous hacks/maps etc..

Everything works perfectly! I'm in Australia and it works fine. Navigation works nicely.

worked for me, too. But I still have two entries of "maps" in my app launcher and maps only works on wifi not on 3G anymore.
[G1 Android Development] JDMJOSH:
I had the same problem and was racking my brain trying to figure out a solution since none of them worked. Here is a very easy way that worked and you dont even need a PC.

1. Get yourself a Terminal Emulator from the marketplace, doesnt really matter which one.

2. Then:

cd system/app

mount -o remount,rw /system

rm Maps.apk

now you can install/uninstall maps at will on your Nexus
[G1 Android Development] jezzaaaa:
Yes, I can confirm that the "-delete" option for "find" is gone from my CyanogenMod v4.2.14.1.

One solution is to use "-exec" with "rm", like this:

adb:

adb remount
adb shell find /system /data -name \*google\*maps.apk\* -o -name Maps.apk -exec rm \{} \;
adb uninstall com.google.android.apps.maps

shell:

mount -o remount,rw /system
find /system /data -name \*google\*maps.apk\* -o -name Maps.apk -exec rm \{} \;
pm uninstall com.google.android.apps.maps
[G1 Android Development] 3Shirts:
I found the easiest way to do this is to install and run Nav Launcher. Tap Navigate and then let it uninstall your existing maps. When it gets to downloading the version to then install, cancel that, quit and just install the 4.0 apk downloaded from here.

That works for me whenever I install a new version of CM or gapps

Hi JDMJOSH, can i use this commands on an unrooted N1?
[G1 Android Development] pintspin:
i am using maps version 4 brut 3, ( already included in marsdroid rom ) now few days back i was in pakistan and i tried to use the google navigation there it worked perfectly , but when i came to UAE and trying the same thing every time i am getting the message route not found, and at the same time same software is showing routes at karachi , but not in dubai can any one explain me how to make it work in dubai UAE i mean routing and navigation , ......... i have just subscribed my self to data package 3g to use the google maps any time.......but unable to use it ...please help me out.....guyz.......!!
[G1 Android Development] rac2030:
mount -o remount,rw /system

Above command clearly tells you that you can't...

Basically you can use the command but it wont do a remount if you dont execute it with a privileged user.

Do you get directions in your area?

If no, Navigation wont work because there exists no data for your location.

I quick look at google maps showed me that it has some routing in Dubai...

Have you tried the route calculation when connected to a wifi?
[G1 Android Development] pintspin:
dear i am currently in dubai , now,

1, i tried to route two points in karachi they worked...!

2, when i tried to route two points in dubai it says no route found

how is it possible that same software is working perfectly for one country and not working for other...?? actually my point is if its giving me route for pakistan then it should work for dubai also.. i am really getting disappointed and dying to have google navigation here in dubai... :(
[G1 Android Development] rac2030:
Basically google doesn't have data for all countries/regions and on some Australian network (should be noted somewhere in the first pages of this thread) the operator was doing some nasty caching that delayed the delivery of the data and the app just said no route found because the answer wasn't fast enough or somehow modified.

Try it with wifi and see if this work (not the navigation itself, just getting the routing infos).

Another thing that you can try is to see if maps.google.com can generate directions for the two locations that you want to route (from a normal browser, maybe best on pc)
[G1 Android Development] pintspin:
dear i am using it currently through wifi , and maps .google.com can generate the routing between two points in dubai i have tested that thing on my lap top but i need it on my mobile which i cannot...! one more thing buzz sattelite and other layers are working fine , except for traffic layer...

i think i am the only one in UAE who wants routing in google maps....! feeling so lonely ....! :)
[G1 Android Development] rac2030:
Traffic layer is just for a few countries... I dont have traffic too in switzerland.

How did you install it or better said have you used the root version and replaced the system maps or installed the nonroot version and have two icons?

How do you start navigation?

If you get the directions in maps, you should be able to route otherwise you may be in the wrong maps app (if you use nonrooted version).

Brut.all did just write a proxy so if you get tex tdirections for your route (in gmaps on the phone), navigation should be possible too.
[G1 Android Development] pintspin:
ok , here it is what i did...!

1, isntalled the marsdroid rom, which contains the brut gmaps v 4, .

2, i have also installed the brut ver 4 spearately and now i am having two maps applications but with same version i dont know how did i got two applications of same version installed simutaneously...

3, now currently i am in dubai and if i choose two points in PAKISTAN MAP, ( notdubai ) i can get directions and navigation working...!!

4, but if i choose two points in DUBAI MAP ( not in pakistan map) no ROUTE found error is coming i am using WIFI.......

this sucks man.........!! i dont understand two different behaviors for two different MAPS while software is same....1!
[G1 Android Development] Brut.all:
@pintspin

http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=dubai&daddr=al+quoz+dubai

Public traffic only, even on full Google Maps. It seems they don't have data or license to do directions by car there.
[G1 Android Development] pintspin:
thanks brut and rac2030 for your time and support,

i got it now......... actually , here the Road transport authority may have made some changes .... Routing of directions is only working if i select the Bus option , its not available for car, .........!!! because they have introduce a service wujahiti , ( actually a route planner ) which supports only to Bus route travellers........and it sucks.........!!

rest of every where the routing and direction is working fine.... even for car option also ....!! my bad luck....!

Perhaps it was taking a while for it to finish. Try doing these and see what you get:

adb shell id

adb shell find /system -name \*.apk\*

adb shell find /system /data -name \*google\*maps.apk\* -o -name Maps.apk

All should give you some kind of output - the first one immediately, the last one might take longer.

adb shell id give nothing :(

just "# _" the "_" is flashing

Unfortunately this is impossible. Every apk must be signed, so after any change in it, it must be resigned. I could publish a patch to baksmalled maps, but it would need some hacking to apply (decompile, patch, compile, pack to apk, sign).

yep that worked for me also thanks. But unfortunatly no navigation option for within us locations (new york to new jersey) or uk. so not sure what i have done wrong.
[G1 Android Development] Brut.all:
Let's do it other way...

First do all steps from that other thread. When you will have new maps, so you could make a shortcut to navi and get this error, then:

adb uninstall com.google.android.apps.maps

adb install Maps.apk

Where Maps.apk is file from my post.
[G1 Android Development] seaweeduk:
If it doesn't work you might need to install google voice
[G1 Android Development] Murphy2712:

No Navigate option with 2 US locations or others.

No "Turn-by-turn navigation" check neither :(
[G1 Android Development] Brut.all:
That was for people, who have problems with installing my Maps.apk .
[G1 Android Development] coredalae:
AH nice, missed that. got it working now, time for some testing ;)
[G1 Android Development] Incendiary:
Awesome work!

I had to do a adb uninstall com.google.android.apps.maps then install Google voice. Also had to create a shortcut on the home screen to "directions" to get it going as described in previous posts. Thanks a lot, already have CoPilot but this will be great to play around with :D
[G1 Android Development] Jubei:
Brut.All I also managed to install your Maps.apk but still no navigation option even with locations in the states whereas before I got the navigate option in the states even if I wasnt there when I turned off location services.

EDIT: After installing the speech synthesis data manualy I got the navigate option for US but not for Japan where I"m now. Oh well. Great work anyway dude.

EDIT2: works with a direct shortcut though :)
[G1 Android Development] canadiancow:
I have never installed Google Voice and I've been able to get the Navigate option on two different phones, so this is definitely not necessary.

You need to follow the instructions from the other thread before this one.

This thread is for getting a device with Navigation in the USA to also work outside the USA. The other thread is to get a device without Navigation to work in the USA.
[G1 Android Development] seaweeduk:

[G1 Android Development] canadiancow:
I copied some of this into the first post, I hope you don't mind.
[G1 Android Development] seaweeduk:
Nope, all I did was add "adb uninstall com.google.android.apps.maps" to the scripts from the other navigation thread anyway.

You forgot to add the build.prop lines to the OP though, don't think this will work without that too
[G1 Android Development] Brut.all:
You didn't write about *.prop's pushing :-)
[G1 Android Development] Murphy2712:
I tried to not use these exact *maps* commands because last time it have also deleted other apps with similar name (Google MyTracks & OpenFonMaps).

But with my custom commands it made the Navigate option to disappear, so finally I wrote these exact command (and lost 2 apps) but Navigate option is back!

And with this new Maps.apk it works in France!

Thanks for the hard work!!!

Is it possible to add the Navigate option in the standard Maps when searching?

I have it working with brute.all patched apk but I couldn't get the turnbyturn checkbox until I installed GV.

Is someone of you good at reverse engineering what the system exactly does, I think it's just some small setting/file/anything that gets changed when installing GV that makes this checkbox visible.

The Point that not all have to do that let me think that it is not GV related but install of GV does something that others do manually...
[G1 Android Development] immyh:
brillant it worked with seeweeduk suggestions. Althought i still cannot get navigate option in normal maps i have to go through the shortcut route, is this the same for you seeweeduk? Big thank you to all of you.
[G1 Android Development] seaweeduk:
yeah its the same for me no big deal though
[G1 Android Development] Brut.all:
It is SpeechSynthesis related. Someone had it installed, others have to install it and one of methods is installing GV.
[G1 Android Development] rac2030:
I have SpeechSynthesys installed (do you mean TTS?), thats why I think that it's not something related to GV directly but that GV installation does set some flag that get checked when adding a shortcut...

After GV installation I just deinstalled GV again.

Another idea (not related to the above):

A small java widget could be created where one could just enter an adress and call an intent with correct data

Starting activity: Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW dat=http://maps.google.com/maps?myl=saddr&daddr=XXXXX&dirf
