Google Maps on Behold?

Has anyone had any luck downloading and making google maps work with the Behold? When I try to download it begins then an error message comes up saying "content mismatch" and then closes. It is version 2.3.2 just so you know. Any help would be great thanks!!!

I wondered the SAME thing!

Great find, shadowg1, +1.  Hopefully someone will have some luck with this and let us know?  This is one of the main things that's keeping me from the Behold so far ...

I went to the site above and there is a google UK link, but I get the same mismatch error as I do with the US site.

Same here. It said on the link to keep on trying to download it over and aver again and "eventually" i will actually down load. I did it and no luck!!

I have probably tried about 20-25 times total and nothing.

Yeah I think it doesn't work... Sorry guys I'll try to find another solution that works!

Keep up!

I get the same error.  That vodaphone site above is if you are getting an error of unsigned, not content mismatch.  Therefore trying it repeatedly won't solve it.  Does the same thing when I try to install any google app (gmail too)

i've spent hours tonight trying -everything- to get google maps to work.. i do have to say im disappointed in the lack of support for this device.. feels  just like the G1, no customization at all.. no themes.. icon changes.. etc. i will say i did get gmaps to work.. its not that great.. but it does work.

how?

i went and signed up for Mobile GMaps on their site.. i'll look for the link.. used opera mini to download it.. it works.. it uses yahoo maps for the interface which i do not like.. and it wont use google maps even though it appears to be a feature of the program. so... ive been able to install opera mini and Mobile GMaps.. nothing else.. google maps will NOT install on this phone.. im pretty sure of it by now.

Mobile GMaps is a pretty good app really.  It used to actually use google maps exclusively (I believe) but Google didn't care for them using their data so they shut them down.  I think mgmaps can use more than just yahoo maps though.

I have installed Google Maps, and it works amazingly well!

Yeah a lot of us have it now. This thread is nearly 6 months old.

I have been using mine, easily, and I love it!
just save your nearest location
as your favorite.
And go from there

 

Hope this is the correct forum,I'm looking for opera mini and some instructions...
I really enjoy your comments here and find it interesting as I'm learning my behold and what all I can/cannot do on it...

TIA!

 

There are very good threads on the subject - keep looking. 

i downloaded and installed MGMaps and uploaded the maps i had made for my blackberry and it worked fine first time

theres a post in MGMaps forums that has a link to new Mgmaps  get that one. it worked for both of my blackberrys and behold

you have to use tki to install it
