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...

wow, this is my 1st visit after the site was down.

It seems this app still in demand but unfortunately is not working anymore as val_demar said (so save your effort for this moment)

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:

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:

meaning to copy the googlemaps.desktop file into /usr/share/applications/ too and icon is fine on homescreen!:D
