Every time I search and select a location it says Google maps forces closed. And after I click force close the message repeatedly comes up. No updates in market for maps either.
Settings > Manage Applications > select ALL > then scroll to Maps > click on Maps then select uninstall.
Allow it to uninstall click ok or yes both times.
I just tested it on BACKside-IHO and it works fine. GPS locks on within 15 seconds, and navigation finds directions within 30. Compass orientation works fine, and turn by turn voice directions work as well.
