Alright im at the google maps main screen.

i see the world.

I have search on the bottom left corner (above the browser globe) and menu tab in the right bottom corner above the mail button.

I cant press the dots to go into it (does nothing)

I tried every button, i pressed shift 1 2 and 3 and they zoom and change view mode. but thats it.

how do i get to the menu or search screen!

welcome aboard....

you are sure you installed the Smartphone version ? other apps work ? the Menu button in other screens/apps work ?

Koobs · 03-07-2008, 02:24 PM

yea its the right one. i downloaded one version from a guys site www.scottschrob.com/q/apps.htm

and then tried google.com/gmm from my phone. and it said "download google maps for your q"

what is the menu button you use to access settings?

that would be my site
i use the left or right softkeys to access the menus

ive pressed the soft keys on the right and it just moves the cursor/map up and down. all the other directional buttons do the same thing.

i can also press shift * and it gives me an add to favortes option. this is anoying.

and this happens with the actual download from google too?

I actually had the same problem.

The version that downloads from opera doesn't work right. You need to use IE to download the right one.

I heard of this problem, and I think Motley is right. The Opera version either doesn't download or doesn't download the correct version. Something about the browser not reporting the correct phone to it from what I remember.

Did you try installing with IE ????

I had this exact problem with 2 google apps for the Q9h, gmail and gmaps.
The only thing that fixed it was to uninstall and reinstall 2 - 3 times. I don't know why it does it but figure it must be a java runtime error or something. It puts the menu and search buttons too far to the right and left respectively. I went nuts for about an hour trying to figure it out, then I kept uninstalling and reinstalling until the buttons magically moved closer to the center right above the keys that they coincide with and it worked.

I solved this problem by realizing I was using opera to download the app...Once I used Internet Explorer, I had no issues!
