Google Maps problems with Omnia?

[volsmcfalls]

I had Google Maps on my Omnia and it worked fine. But, when I upgraded to the new version (with Latitude) the Samsung Keyboard quit working in Google Maps.

I searched the web and found that it is only an issue with the Samsung Keyboard. All others work fine. But, it is a bit annoying to have to switch every time I use the program.

Any workarounds to this? Google seems very reluctant to address it or update GM. The "official answer" they give is to just use a different keyboard.

Here's an idea...how about you actually take a look at the problem instead of offering us a band-aid?
