The last time, google complain was direct to the thread starter not xda. It is not warez as it is a free app that comes with most android phone anyway. Its like people porting sense os or using apps from one phone manufacturer into another etc. Its is not warez and if the app owner does not complain then xda will just let it be.

its free apps to begin with, for the benefit of mankind why not...

tried yesterday, only offers additional 2 alternative routes... ok lar. atleast got

Used method 1 mentioned in the xda developer posts on my phone.

Seems working but it immediately look up for a newer version 6.14.2 and want to update to it. Have to abort the update. Does it look up for the update everything I start Maps ? How to disable that ?

I don't get the street view and also do not know how to trigger street view.

Anyone here got it working ? Did it show real street view of your place ?

LOL

I no idea, I just know google ask the TS to close the thread and remove it only
and since that time me can't find brut map already and go use waze
thanks god now got chance to use back again

but I wonder once the google map got update, in play store will show got update or not ?
yet, if got update, need to update in play store ?

google map mar, not bad 1

Play store will show got update. If you update you will lose navigation.

o.O, will replace the brut map that require root 1 and install the normal google map which navigation not working on our country right ?

Yes.

What is brut map?

is a mod google maps which support navigation for those not supported country
and with this mod, make all country support google navigation

Reading the posts from the net revealed that the one mod by Brut is the older version.

The newer versions referred to by xda forum is mod by ownhere.

Latest seems to be at 6.14.1.

But google has already reached 6.14.2.

Can't find 6.14.2 from ownhere. But there is a chinese posts which mentioned about 6.14.2 :-

http://www.coolapk.com/apk/1273/

that one is brut map 6.14.2 ?

According to some brief words ( in mandarin ), it is from ownhere.

ownware meaning we can use or not?

ownhere and brut are just names given by the original people that hack gmap to allow navigation for all countries. they have stop updating after getting a warning from google. thus other people had taken over their project. the names do not mean anything. just use the link give by tot31.

Actually I tried it already, the 6.14.2 one mentioned in the Chinese post is the same as that on the google play store. So not much point.

The latest mod from a China developer called 'ownhere' is upto 6.14.1 only.

The xda developer Brut.all ones are much older than the ownhere ones.

Yes the 6.14.1 is working but still no street view. There were some posts on the net which says street view might be coming to Malaysia pretty soon.

I am using method 1 as mentioned in the xda-developer posts.

try waze not bad

im wondering if anyone here use nokia maps? but of cos thru their web site .

not bad either but must always ensure the screen is on at all times. my gnex appear to be loss gps signal if i use it

The major shortcoming of waze is constantly need to be online.

Traffic incurred is one thing, another is that there will be places where 3G reception is poor.

I tot google maps oso requires internet line no?
