Google Earth

I have asked this before , cannot find Google Earth anywhere in the market? What happened? Had it before even though it could never find my location, the same goes for Google maps, always says cannot find location try later, but still looking for Google Earth.
 
Do you have gps on for Google Maps?

Anyway what country are you in, and what phone? its possible your country blocks these apps, or its also possible that they are updating it, and its not on the market for now.
 
And if it's not blocked for your country as sitlet correctly suggested, you may find and download it by surfing to this URL in your phone's browser:

m.google.com/earth

If that URL is blocked where you live, and you are determined to get it anyway, you will have to try to go there via proxy. But that could then be regarded as breaking the law by those that blocked your access in the first place. Be aware of that.
 
Have received an error every time I tried to download and install google earth for my Epic. It says "The requested item could not be found."
This is when navigating to m.google.com/earth.

Can anyone actually install and run this program on their phone?

Can you try again?

Thanks

:)

Afaik it works fine in Europe, north America, Japan and South Korea. Elsewhere I'm not so sure. But that's got nothing to do with the software but rather with local government censorship.

I.o.w. talk to your member of parliament (if you have them) about it. It's not a technical issue.
 
I live in US. I cannot access the site to DOWNLOAD the program. This seems to be a Google issue. Again--can someone please verify and attempt to download the program?

Thanks

:)
 
OK--I used a different browser (skyfire) and got a different error message:
"Your device not supported by Google Earth."
It appears that the Samsung Epic 4G is not supported.

Figures.

For your convenience I just uninstalled Google Earth from my Nexus One Froyo phone, went to the market and downloaded and installed it again. Works as advertised.

So neither Google's servers nor their software are the issue, my friend.
 
I have a Samsung Captivate in Canada, with Rogers, and I can't find the app on the Market, and cannot access the Earth link in the Google Web page.
 
It can't be a Samsung problem, as I said I had it on the phone it was in the market and now its gone, yet google still shows it on it mobile Apps page? So it was compatible with the Captivate.
 
I found this on the Google Android forum,Go into Settings>Applications>Manage Applications and then choose 'Market'. On that screen there should be an option to 'uninstall updates' or something like that. This will rollback the 'Market' to the previous version and you should be able to download apps now from the market...well at least i could.

It worked! the Google earth icon came right up, and loaded, does anyone know what's going on, are these phones this complicated?
To all that replyed and had the same results I did,try this.

Yea, I did this on my new phone, but apparently it was too new for the factory load version to date before they pulled Earth, so no go.

Now please tell me how I can re-install Market Updates and get back up to date.

The only option is uninstall updates. Once done, there is no option to re-install, just a prompting to uninstall updates.

Perhaps it updates automatically when you turn your phone on? I'm gonna reboot and try that.

EDIT: That appears to be the case. Android Market appears to update when you turn your phone on.
