M2D and new google maps issue

Spunks3 · #1 (**permalink**) 02-03-2009, 02:12 AM

okay so when i make a rom with BuildOS from ppckitchen i will use M2D. now, it installs all the apps needed to work for M2D to function correctly. Now there is a newer version of goodle maps out for windows mobile and when install it, i can launch it from the programs section fine, but when i use the google maps portion on M2D it still tries to open the old google maps and it is distorted. many errors wont even search correctly. is there a way to change the google maps portion of M2D to use the newer version of google maps?

Don't know if this helps but I found that M2D needs to see Google Maps on the device, not on card. Good luck!

When you install the cab it puts the files in "properly", so \program files\ and updates the menu accordingly. While M2D is still running the GoogleMaps.exe from \windows\.

That is most likley the problem, can't for the life of me figure out WHERE the path is stored... looked in registry and XML and don't see a setting anywhere.

For now, you should be able to copy the newer exe into \windows\ to get around the issue.

n.b. -- Just hard reset and tested, that will work for you. Only need to copy the exe, the dll's don't seem to matter.
