just upgrade to an official froyo ROM but on my previous ROM (Leedroid 1.6), i had google maps installed and there was an icon in Programs called "Places" where i could search for nearby petrol stations, supermarkets, pubs etc.
Ive installed the latest Google maps on my new ROM but i dont have the Places icon.
In the Market when i search for Places it has Google Maps as the first selection.
any ideas how i can get this app back?

When I do "my locations" it says i'm in san francisco... but I live in Houston... how do I correct this? My quick gps is up to date and i'm on R2A rom
try updating to the new google map with latitude 3.0 something version from google... see if it works.. uninstall the old one first.
Hi,
I have a program using google maps, and I want it to show the new google maps, but each time the program starts I see the old version of google maps.
Do I need to use different method thenthe one described in the google android developers site to do that?
I can see that it is the older one since in the old version there are no maps for my country, and in the new one there are.
(I can see the new maps using the goole maps app)
Thanks,
Amir
I'm trying to find where the navigator app is in a rom that has it and Im not finding it in /system/app or maybe im not looking for the right name, not sure...
the htc navigation icon thingy, if that is what you are looking for, i believe it is called something like htcnavipanel.apk, i am not running a rom with it on it right know to check the name. it seems safe to delete, navigation still runs via Google maps without issue

I have seen it in /data/app
and yeah its the navi panel apk... Many of the roms coming out don't have it anymore, I liked it but when I tried to reinstall it, it did not work... I guess we are just supposed to use navigation out of maps...
I'm a noob, so I could be completely wrong here... but from what I've seen, Google Navigation itself is a part of Google Maps. On most of these ROMs, there is a "default" version of Maps that is installed which is currently out of date which is located in /system/app/Maps.apk. After you install a new ROM, when you go to the Market, you'll see an update is available for Google Maps. When you install that, it installs to /data/app/com.google.android.apps.maps.apk. If you watch the log when the phone starts up, I think it detects the old version in /system/app and it says that it is "ignoring" it. I've deleted the old one in the past and it hasn't made a difference (but if you do this and break something, don't blame me).
The /system/data/HtcNaviPanel.apk app is just the app that is usually used in the car. It has icons which has shortcuts to make a call, maps, navigation, footprints, etc. Outside of that app, I'm not exactly sure if there's a way to launch Maps to get directly to Navigation? Maybe a widget (I've seen some Maps widgets, but haven't played around with them much).
I have HTC Legend and I installed Maps 4.6 on it. I'd like to use google navigation but i don't know if i need to install it or it is included in maps....
Once installed the application, it downloads the maps as needed, using any kind of internet connection, you don't have to worry about the maps, just be sure you are connected someway.
As far as I know, navigation is not available everywhere, and Google is offering it in just some countries, if this is your case, you can search the forum for "brut mod", that is a modification of the Google nav application so can be use everywhere. It also caches the maps in the device so you use less of your internet allowance.
Hope I was useful.
Cheers
nevermind >.<
is there anyway or anywhere to get google maps on the shift without the latitude app? i just hate seeing it in my app list! i never use it and i don't see available to freeze in titanium. is it just part of maps?
Yeah latitude, places, and navigation are all part of maps.
Ok. My problem is that while trying to upgrade to a newer version of Google Maps (5.6), I had to uninstall my older version (5.2) using Titanium Backup app. But I did not know that removing Google Maps would also remove Navigation, Places & Latitude. Now all of them are gone from my phone and the new package of Google Maps (version 5.6, size 6.39MB) is also NOT INSTALLING on the phone! So what is the remedy left now? Can I download Google Maps from the Market to install it on my phone?
You should be able to just dl maps from the market to get everything back, and I'm pretty sure if u try to get rid of latitude ,or any of the others, google maps just keeps force closing
