If you follow the instructions in the OP you'll get OM 6.5 and 7.0 as well as some other Java apps on your N900.

EDIT: frankly the OM's performance is disappointing, better use the native Opera Mobile browser.

One more thing:

One thing I tried to do was "transplant" the java db files from my old phone onto the new phone (having figured out which set belonged to Google Maps), however, that didn't work.

My thinking was that there most likely is a boolean variable stored in a database file that determines whether the user has accepted the T&Cs or not. If it could be flipped then it may circumvent this issue (assuming it's a T&C download error? 404?)

maybe the settings are stored in the .jar itself?

I know Mobile GMaps used to but they had to remove support and now "only" provide Live, OSM, Yahoo. I wonder if it can be added in.

The thing I'll miss the most is the step-by-step direction instructions.

P.S. Cheers for the fast reply.

the search engine doesnt work for me...

Help! I have followed the procedure including #6 from toebaer but no icon shows up at my homescreen?
Trying to execute googlemaps.desktop from /usr/share/applications/hildon the app loading but loading Terms and Conditions every time ends up with an
'Unknown error'
'Serious error. Please exit and restart'
:confused:

Re: Google Maps Official (Java Version)

the error is not on your side but google changed something in their maps causing its java client is not working anymore (see post #46 -> http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...2&postcount=46)

OK Thanks!
But have you any idea why no desktop icon is created.
I have looked into both nimbuzz.desktop and the facebook.desktop and they look eacxtly the same besides the name of cource and the fact that I needed to change the Exec line to end with facebook.jar (instead of .jad), but then the Icon showed up at homescreen (months ago).
But here with googlemaps no matter using .jad or .jar no icon shows up on homescreen! :confused:

Sorry I'm getting too old. I forgot my own lesson handling facebook.desktop a little more than a month ago:
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...9&postcount=60
meaning to copy the googlemaps.desktop file into /usr/share/applications/ too and icon is fine on homescreen!:D

Re: Google Maps Official (Java Version)

Fired up the app and it worked today. I'm shocked. Let's see how long it will last.

Still works for me. The T&C screen loaded successfully today and I was able to accept. Seems to run fine now.

OK, I'll try to install it again and see how I go. Also do you know why it installs alot of other programs as well?

Re: Google Maps Official (Java Version)

I does install a few, like Opera Mini, Nimbuzz, and a couple of others. Word of caution - I see cvm keeps running when you exit the maps, pegging the CPU, so if this happens you need to kill it from xterm by hand.

there are 2 deb package files to be installed as per instruction (but if you know how to create desktop shortcut then the midlets files which contains desktop shortcut as reference & other programs w/ icons is not necessary)

Re: Google Maps Official (Java Version)

Does this midlet still position you on the map using GPS? It doesn't locate me anymore.

Re: Google Maps Official (Java Version)

This issue? Expired Nokia certificates. You need to install maemo-security-certman from CSSU*) to fix it.

*) Mine is CSSU-Testing. dunno if it made its way to Stable yet.

Re: Google Maps Official (Java Version)

No, I don't think that's the problem since I also run an up-to-date CSSU-t. The GPS does lock, but nothing brings up the blue locaton dot in this midlet anymore.
