Google Maps 4.1...

No maps forcecloses here so far. I'm on BB ESE53 0.6 with Helix Launcher. For those who haven't noticed, there is a new live wallpaper after you update to 4.1. It is a "maps" live wallpaper that shows your current location and follows you...

**EDIT** I should thank radikal from the LWP thread in the Droid section...Didn't notice the wallpaper before I saw him post it...

I did not know that. Thanks!

I'm running DroidMod with Helix and Maps is working fine. And there is a Latitude widget.

It is rooted, but with a 1.5 ROM ;). I'd rather wait for Paul to make a custom ROM from an official 2.1 build than use the leaked one. So I'll have to be jealous a little longer :D
 
after launching maps, if i try to use it immediately, it force closes. if i wait a minute and let it do whatever it's doing, it seems to work fine.

stock droid.

It keeps force closing on my Droid but it is not rooted.[/quote

Saw this on another site, tried it and it worked. Go to settings-applications-manage applications. Go to Maps and uninstall updates then go back to the market and reinstall the update. It should work fine after the reinstall.

Yea I saw that, I also noticed a new latitude widget but haven't tried it yet.

Edit - sorry I didn't see it was already commented on.
 
Strange thing just happened...
I got an update notification from the Market, and Google Maps was one of them. The version is 4.1.0. But I already had 4.1 installed. :confused:
 
@messenger13, same. Maybe it's an update but for things we wouldn't normally notice. Bugs or such. Who knows, though. I haven't noticed any difference.
 
it's pretty awesome... the buzz integration is pretty good... on its own, buzz sucks somewhat, but when integrated in maps, it's pretty cool (amazing to already see a bunch of buzzes locally - don't know if they're all Nexus, but many seem mobile based...) ... overall, loving how quickly google is sending out updates... it's the way it should be...

yeah - weird, me too... installed 4.1 yesterday, but had an "update available" notice this morning... so re-updated...
 
Has anyone else had any issues since the new updates with navigation? When I search for something in google maps and the new profile page comes up, I hit the button for navigation. I get taken back to the map view, but navigation doesn't start.
