Disclaimer: This is no way an insult towards BlackBerry Maps, it's more about the 4.2.2 runtime.

Update
-7.1 is out, you can get it at this site: http://apps.goodereader.com/apk-2-bar/
-Here is a direct link to the highest version I was able to make work:
http://69.162.109.42/Apk2Bar/bar/com....701000814.bar
-Do not try to install version v7.1.0.701000822 or v7.1.0.701000823. These are probably for the new Nexus 7 that has the 4.3 runtime and will not work on the BB 10.2 android 4.2.2 runtime.

Google Maps 7.0.2 (July 2013) looks beautiful and is buttery smooth on 2.0.1047

You can find it on this site, no need for debug tokens, etc.: http://apps.goodereader.com/apk-2-bar/

You can do a search for "maps" there, it will bring up a couple of 7.0.2 results, here is the one that I am using: http://69.162.109.42/Apk2Bar/bar/com....700022113.bar

Note:
-you need to know how to sideload
-you won't be able to sign in, Google uses some kind of android account system on its devices instead of just asking for username and password.
-beautiful and buttery smooth != no bugs

Some pics for your enjoyment:

Yep 4.2.2 support is a big step up for google maps indeed

[HaTaX]

Looks like I'll need to tear into the new GMaps app and possibly put in a few of the countermeasures I had to keep the v6 build working smoothly. Any areas of the application that cause a force quit when you access them?

[shabbs]

Nice. Sideloaded this on my 10.2 install. Buttery smooth indeed.

[anon721037]

Nice one this is by far better than the BlackBerry maps.

Thanks.

I've actually been running this for a while now, and I've been very happy with the fluidity. I used the debug token method though, and I just assumed everyone was using this version. I haven't run into any force close situations yet either, and when I was using it for navigation I had no issues with losing GPS...I just disagreed with the route it suggested as being the most direct.

Have you tried navigation on a +20min journey?

Can it save maps for offline view?

Yes, I have, but it was a couple of weeks ago and I was running my 483/341 hybrid (not 1047). I had no issues.

[aibrahi3]

will it connect to a car's bluetooth like iOS or android devices?

Does anyone have an apk or bar file?
I'm having trouble pulling the apk out of google play (the chrome extension won't work)
I can't find the file one Koz's site, everywhere has 6.xxx whatever.
The bar file above won't convert on the apk2bar site - says the version is too long.

*Edit - use chrome, and it will show up on koz's site.

OP provided a link to the bar (which does not need converting).

Not that it matters since I found it - but the OP link is to a zip file that contains the apk, not the bar file.

Hoping this works on the Q10 will give it a go later on.

I don't like Google maps because they keep having people try and drive up my driveway to get to the other side of town.

Don't care if it is the most direct route, it's MY driveway. Not a public way.

Rant over.... proceed at will...

Try reporting to google that its a private driveway Google Map Maker and change the road type to private road - you'll have to sign in/sign up to make the change.

[Sebasnado]

Bought Bemap as well, working really good... but having access to a full Google Maps can't be bad

Dose anyone else get an -104 error when sideloading or am I alone?
Info: 10.2.0.1047 with 10.2.0.810 runtime, and the "special" version of google maps 6, sideloading with Chrome

Go to Google maps in a Web browser and look at the lower right. I think you can report the issue there.
