Hey guys,
I just got my Bold and can't get google maps to work. I installed it but when I try opening it, it loads halfway then closes. Anyone else have this problem? Any help is appreciated!

uninstall, battery pull, reinstall, battery pull
before all of that, just try a simple battery pull first

I've heard it does that if you don't have a connection to your carrier.

I had this problem. It doesn't work if you only have wifi. It needs to use data in order to load properly for the first time.

It should work, but it won't be able to give you your location. You should be able to use it to get directions though.
Edit: it doesn't work. Google should be ablew to handle the lack of positional data, but it can't in the mobile version.

I think google always (GPS or not) tries to triangulate using cell phone towers, so you are going to have to be in coverage to even get it to load.
