Then why not try Nokia Maps?

Maps.bar


This is just a simple application, it's pulling mapping data from Nokia.com,

I just thought that fixing it up a bit would make it look better on the PlayBook.


Any and all feedback is appreciated

I checked it out. Seems to work OK, but I still prefer Google Maps running in the android player: Smoother, with a better, more responsive UI. Still, nice to have options.

Thanks for the link!

I never really did figure out which Google Maps version was the most stable. I had been using 6.2 but it would randomly crash at times

Version 6.2 has been rock stable under the OS 2.1 beta - all newer versions crash when opening the settings page, so...

Hoping the newly announced "offline" version works better than 6.3+.

I rolled my own BAR using an apk I downloaded. The about dialog says 6.2.0-ownhereMOD.

Seems quite stable - haven't had a crash yet under 2.1 beta.

What version of the PB OS are you running?

Yeah, each time we get a new OS update we got to retry the majority of the Android apps again

I believe every update so far has improved the Android runtime, from OS 2.0 up the the latest Beta 2.1 OS.

we need a decent GPS turn by turn app

As rkennedy said, Google maps is very stable under the beta 2.1 OS. This was/is not true with OS 2.0, where the app would easily crash, especially if you tried to zoom in or out too fast. It's ability to hold a GPS signal seemingly is still an issue, though.
