when i visit google maps in the playbook browser i can't input an address to search. the map part seems to work fine but it's no good for searching an address. perhaps it will when the android player is available for the playbook?
Hi,Yes i have the same problem,I think its to do with the microsoft deal that Rim have entered into,that Bing is the default Browser,and Bing Maps is the default map application.Dont know if that will change .Cheers Mike
As a user, the Google maps are just another web page that I would like to be able to use. The same for Yahoo maps. I can access on my PC whatever I like when I like!
As an end user, I should not be blocked from any web pages that are considered safe and secure for using.
Just tap the "Maps" link at the top of the main Google page (www.google.com). You will be taken to the Google maps page with the cursor positioned in the address field and the keyboard already popped up and ready for typing the address.
You can also type the address in the search box on the main google page and tap the "Maps" link at the top. In this case you will be taken to the maps page with the address already entered and the search already done.

Hi thanks for the solution. I did notice one weird thing though when i access google.ca and click maps there is no keyboard and tapping in the search bar produces no keyboard. however when i access google.com (and am redirected to google.ca as i am located in Canada, THEN the keyboard pops up and i can do the search on google maps. thanks again for the solution
hi again. for whatever reason sometimes the keyboard pops up and sometimes it doesn't regardless of google.com, google.ca, or google.uk don't know why. BUT if i go to google and just type in the "google maps + address" i get a result for the address typed in. the search bar is still dead but at least i have the map of the area i want.
I went to Google.ca and typed in the location, and then clicked on maps. Now there was text in the box with an active cursor. I got the keyboard up by swiping it up. Swipe on a diagninal from the lower left corner towarnds the center.
Once the keyboard was up, I backspaced to erase the address location. I simply typed in the new one and pressed Return on the keyboard. To hide the keyboard I pressed the keyboard icon-key in its lower left.
It was your advice that gave me to hint for the rest.
Hi Jerry. hooray i got the keyboard up. thanks for the advice. Bing's satellite views are not too bad but i really find the street view on google maps the best. Cheers, Fred
