Google Maps 4.0 out for Windows Mobile
 
Just read this:

http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/g...xt-level/?s=t5

So I checked to see what was available on www.google.com/gmm and it looks like they released 4.0 which includes google buzz.

hell yeah nice find... i just wish they'd release navigation for winmo devices. looks like it's still only for android. i just installed and it's having a helluva time finding gps.

Yea... ditto the google navigation, hopefully one day. App seems pretty much the same so far, didn't notice any longer wait to get the GPS lock. The Buzz integration seems interesting, several people in my area have already "buzzed"

Yeah, I was hoping for navigation. I've been having lots of troubel with the Bing one. It's nothing but problems with the latest releases.

This version seems to get "my location" even on cdma! that's a big plus in my book!

I'd be surprised if they release navigation on non-Android platforms any time soon.

It's one of their "killer" apps for Android. Although I don't think Android sees WMO as much of a threat anymore...

what are you talking about? i've never had an issue using aGPS or GPS with google maps... atleast since the 2.2 builds.

i guess this begs another questions though, wth did i miss? last i remember we were in the 2.x versions and now it's 4.0? doesn't seem to be any major update to qualify skipping 3.x ya know?

last version I had was 3.2 or something. Was Latitude on 2.x builds?

Google Maps keeps crashing on me every time i try to update my location or try to use the gps to obtain my location. Is this happening with any one else?

The last versions didn't seem to work with CDMA Sprint properly, now it is... ya!

How do you set it to run latitude in background, or startup with windows on resets? On the older versions, when you existed it asked if you wanted to keep latitude running.

I'm talking about cell tower location not gps or agps. And it hasn't worked on Sprint touch pros till version 4 (unless you had a custom rom and even then it was hit or miss)

Google Maps 4.0 works great on the current version of mightyrom! (no crashes, GPS works correctly etc..)

Re: Google Maps 4.0 out for Windows Mobile
 
4.0 works fine for me also. No crashes anymore and GPS functionality on TP stock rom. I'm not getting any Buzz though and there doesn't seem to be any way in the menu to activate the layer that has it. Maybe it's just that no one is Buzzing way out in the outskirts where I live.
