However the program is expecting googlemaps.exe to be in the googlemaps folder in the "program files" folder. Which is where it is installed by default when installing the googlemaps.cab from their website.

I managed to go in the "windows" folder and find where you have googlemaps located and "copy" the 2mb googlemaps file (there were several) and past it into the folder where GCz was expecting it to be, and it seemed to be working but the gps wasn't working as well as normal.

Maybe it was working fine and I did the right thing, or maybe I'm an idiot and did the wrong thing to move googlemaps into a different location. I'm not sure If I should just reinstall the googlemaps.cab and have it installed twice on the phone... Any advice would be helpful. Thx

And by the way, 1.5 has made this phone bearable for the last 3 months, so thanks for that!
I am guessing here, but both options you mentioned sounded workable.
The first one seems to work for you, except it seems a little slower.

The 2nd option of a "dual" installation seems like it would also work. however, I'm assuming that when you do a cab installation, you'll find 2 Google Icons in the program Folder. Since it isn't in the "startup" folder, whichever icon you click on will be the program that will be running. I also assume that the new install would be labeled "GOOGLE (2)".....The only problem is that you're wasting space.

I would burn a new ROM in the Kitchen, and R4R is a choice that is available and just not select GOOGLEMaps during the ROM building process. This way you'd have a clean ROM with GOOGLEMAPS in the right location for you and there wouldn't be any questions, plus you'd get the stuff that you want on the ROM, not a "general" choice that Scott made.

I know that didn't help much....Maybe Scott will chime in tomorrow.

If you need help building a ROM, just give a holler, we're here to help. You could also go to Scott's site www.sskusers.com/forums and there are a couple of good tutorials on building a ROM.

Good luck
Bob
