Hello,
I just attempted to install and load the latest version of Google Maps from
Google Maps on my AT&T BlackBerry Curve 8300. The version is 2.01. This version has the blue dot/blue circle "My Location" technology.
However, once Google Maps is installed and I click on the Google Maps
icon the BlackBerry locks up/hangs/crashes and I have to
remove the battery to reset the unit. Each time I click the GMM icon the BB crashes.
I have tried adjusting the "Allow" settings under Settings/Applications
for connections but this does not correct the problem. I successfully downloaded an older GMM version (1.6.1) for the time being but I would like to get GMM 2.0.1 working.
I have tried installing Google Maps separately and as part of the
Google Updater pack that contains Gmail, Picasa, News for your BlackBerry. However, all options fail to resolve this Google Maps issue.
Note: I did successfully get GMM 2.0.1 working on my wife's T-Mobile BlackBerry Pearl 8100. So she is happy!
Thanks,
treaders
