So I have the newest google maps and I think it's crap and they need to either upgrade quickly with features from the previous version or downgrade till they work all the bugs out. Anyone else agree and having problems with it crashing alot? I've deleted it and redownloaded it several times...

I get the un caught something error... (Sorry give me a minute and I can get it to repeat the issue)... I lost the ability to search for location and search for buisness now it's just search which is FRUSTRATING... I'm almost at the point where I don't want to use it. OH and when I try to dial from google maps it practically freeze... It makes the call but I can't doesn't change screens and I can't exit out... I've got the newest verizon software and my phone doesn't have any conflicting programs.

Do you have 1.6.2? I haven't downloaded it yet, but I think I will wait now
I have 1.6.1, and I get the calling from google maps annoyance as well, the popup question repeats over and over and stays at the front until you reboot the device. I don't use that feature anymore.
Also if I do directions to a location, then click on Find Location to do a new search, it crashes everytime, so I have to use the directions option or go back to a favorite to avoid this issue.
Foner,
I didn't say I want a refund... I know it's free like EVERYTHING else google offers. All I'm saying is I wish the would either issue 1.6.3 or I could downgrade to 1.6.1 (which I had no issues with)... Thats all
PLCHAN,
I get an error that says something like "Uncaught Null -----" jarble I don't remember. Typically I get that after having Google maps do directions and then re open it later to try and locate something.
I think not being able to disable the GPS location at the start up causes some problems for me...
Also having just 1 search option I think causes more false answers IE when we had search business and search location there was no room for confusion in the program

apple - I hear ya. I'm just saying that that is what we sometimes get for being early adopters.
Having said that, have you tried installing Google Services? It may still not be the updated 1.6.2 (just a guess - I havent checked)
I'm running the latest Vodafone 8800 and have had no issues (and can deal with the search thing)
Good Luck!
SO i followed the link provided by Foner which had me download 1.6.3... Now why won't the Google Maps direct to you 1.6.3! Haven't used it yet to know if it's better or not...

Go to Options >Advanced Options >Applications. Highlight Google Maps and hit the menu key and select "Edit Permissions." Then hit menu again and select reset firewall prompts.
Now run Google Maps again. When it asks you to allow access to phone logs, say yes and "don't ask me again."
RJW I'm right there with you... Heck on my 8703e I can't even get the program to work AND I've even gone so far as to reload the OS!
For the 8703e, try the generic 8700-series version -- the 8703e-specific version auto-selected by Google (Google Maps) has not worked for several versions. The v1.6.3 link is:
Newest Google Maps CRAP!
