everyone who trying to install google maps now and are being directed to a Android version this is another way around
http://www.google.com/mobile/hosted/...leMapsPull.zip
download put it in your sd card and install it on your phone with the .jad file
in the folder there different version so say
blackberry-47 is for version 7
blackberry-46 is for version 6
etc etc
After two days of frustration trying to find a working OTA site for Google Maps, this worked GREAT!! I'm sure this will save all those who have a Blackberry that are running into the Android-only install links for Google Maps! MANY THANKS!!!!!!
I also had a backup of Google Sync & Google Voice saved BBH-Tools in the past which I found a life-saver.
Does anyone have screen size problem ??? Google Maps cant go full srceen on my 9860
how about for old bb os 4.5 version? im using a vintage bb pearl 8100. many thanks in advance.
cheers mate.it's working like charm!!!i assume i could now erase these files from the SD card?
Many thanks. After 2 trial and errors, blackberry-43 folder worked on my bb 8100 os 4.5. Blackberry-42 folder - is for touch screen units. You have to extract all the files (jad and cod) into 1 folder then look for the jad file and click it to download the google map app (if you have a working bis plan). Good in my country because im on an unlimited bis plan ( $15.00 more or less depending on the forex rate) for 1 month.
Thanks for giving it a shot. No longer works though, I can't get past the Terms and Conditions page anymore as it crashes then.
Yep, while you can install it, it's unusable. Google isn't happy with BB10's popularity.
I am not having trouble installing, it, When I open it and it tries to get the terms and conditions it says "Serious Error Occurred" and at the bottom "data connection lost." I also realized that Vlingo isn't working anymore either. I am pissed. What is going on here? It's worked fine for years.

I have the same issue with Vlingo however
That's the same problem I'm having "serious error" when I try to run it the first time.

Thanks a lot. I just installed Google Maps 4.5.3 on my Blackberry Curve 9320 running OS 7.1 in India using the files in the BlackBerry-47 folder from the zip file you shared. Got through the terms & conditions page with no issues and logged in using my Gmail account easily. Works like a charm so far.
Thanks a lot,

Guys,
I have been looking for Google Map for my 9300 for sometime and thanks to this thread. 47 worked in a single shot and is able to browse through map.

I have a sideloaded V7 of google maps on my Z10 and the only issue i have with it is the Sign in page that directs me to "Choose account" and when i tap add acount it just closes and takes me to the google map (where i was before selecting Sign in)
Besides that i find the app runs smooth and no bugs (i installed it over a week ago no issues with it).
Any know ways to address this issue? I.E. loging in to see stared places and etc from your Gmail account?
Thanks
Hi,
Thanks for these tips!
The installation was successful, but after the installation it asks for permission and after I give that, it goes on loading for a minute and than it says: A serious error occured.
Do you know what is going wrong?
Thanks in advance!

The most likely explanation for your issue is that you’re following advice that is now 7 years old, and the solution you are attempting to use no longer works.
Read the maps section on this page: The Bold Explorer
You need to install Google maps v3 first, accept the terms and conditions, and then install v4.5.3.
Easier way, buy an android phone. It saves you sweat and effort.
