Root i can't install google maps.

ok i used root explorer to delete every trace of google maps on my sd card and on the droid. and when i go to market to download it, it says installation error, incompatible update. how can that be, when i don't have maps installed on my phone yet?

Try going to manage applications and see if there is an app there that has the green android box that says anything about google maps. If there is you need to open that and uninstall it then try installing Maps.

edit: manage applications is in settings

Thanks a bunch! Just learned something new! But I would like to know what causes this behavior. Do you know?
