Google Maps has been updated from 3.3.0 to 3.3.1 and fixes the tower based location as well as the layers crash for people.

Attached below is the CAB.

I was hoping they would be quick to fix this. I use the layers quite a bit. Thanks for the heads up.

It seems as though tower based location is a little different in this version, at least for me. It detects me as 24000 meters within my location where as all the previous versions detected me within 700 meters of my location. So it's a bit more.....generalized I guess. I don't like it.

Very useful for me! We just traveled from NC to MS to KY to IN to VA back to NC and it was much needed. We did use the navigation but we wanted to see exactly where we were and what was ahead. Next time maybe it will be quicker locating us and closer to our location. It had a slight lag in following us and finding us at first.

Triangulation (Tower Mode) will never be as good as GPS.

You have a TP2. Why the frak are you using the cell tower locationing? And is that center location something of an extremely high cell site with incredible coverage?
