Google Maps Offline Viewing - "Not Available" Solution - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The new update of Google maps 6.7.0 denies you to save cached areas for offline viewing. It's a common problem and many users report of the message "Not available" when they try to save an area for offline viewing.
The solution:
So solve the "Not Available" problem in Google Maps (Android), you simply download the older version, 6.6.0 from this place and installs it.

good stuff man, i dont really like this new feature of the gmaps thingie... will keep this version for a bit.
by doing a brief research i can find many people with the same issue, and we are talking about major urban areas.
sometimes google does something really cool but with some very stupid mistakes, wonder why....cheers

Nyc, also wondering if it possible to save bigger areas of the map.

Well I'm on 6.9.0 in the UK and I can save for offline. You might want to upgrade to this version.

The off-line caching has been moved from the labs settings .
Later versions
now turn cache on via settings .
Go to map location Menu Make available offline Select area = new off-line map
So instead of hitting the address and opening a search bar that includes Off Line cache this area . It is now in the menu settings .

Offline maps are not available in Malaysia too.

I'm using offline maps in Bangladesh. Works great. Up to 29mb per block which pretty much covers Dhaka city. On latest map

When you're off Wi-Fi or 3G/4G, you'll have 'OFFLINE LIST' below the map.
For me, 6.12.0 sometimes shows this 'Not Available' and sometimes fails to completely download a map, but deleting the unfinished download and restarting the application seems to fix it.
P.S. Came here from Google and just now saw that this topic is in the S III forum - well, I don't think this issue is specific to it - it also manifests on my Galaxy Nexus.

No good in Korea
I am in Seoul, and it does not work here. It works for other countries (US, Europe...) though.
I wonder is there something about Korea. Last year, there were zero games in Android market here, because of some local laws. It has been solved since.

you still have to deal with the offline maps getting seizures randomly during navigation. the only way is to quit nav and come back in otherwise it won't update location and start showing grey squares.....
no idea why it's an offline map issue only

I'm going to buying a Google Nexus 7 cose next month I'll go to Japan for one month and I need a device like this for many reasons.
Is this workaround still working?
Do you know if is possible to install two different versions of an app on Android?
Thank you fro you help

Is it maybe a map-licence problem? Looks depends on country...
Try to pre-cache Hungary...

Google has the answwer.....

Hi there,
you are absolutely correct with the License Issue:
support.google.com/gmm/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2650347&topic=2649131&ctx=topic
Get something like the Route 66 app. You can all the maps I guess for free as long as don't want navigation ...

Another Work around?
Back when I was using a jail broken iPhone 3G....there was a method of downloading ALL Google Maps files you wanted via a special program and then storing them in the iPhone for use off line. This activity was NEVER envisioned by either Google or Apple.
Why can't this feat be duplicated for Android?? Would solve all those irritating, "Map not available for this region" problems...

I have the S4 int version with 4.2.2, and i can't install the old version of maps.Did all the preparation with deinstalling the updates for the current Maps,and enables the "install from unknown sources".Ask me do i what to install it,and when i hit yes, show me "the app is not installed".
.
Anyone with 4.2.2 or newer,successfully installed the 6.11.1 maps application?

[Solved] Offline Google Maps Availability

Q: Is there anyone who knows what map areas are available Offline with Google Maps 6.9.0 for Android?
Background: With Google Maps 6.9.0 it is possible to make certain maps areas available offline. As for Europe, this seems to be dependant upon where you attempt to make this happen. Most of Croatia (except Zagreb) seems to be unavailable, same goes for most of Italy except major cities.
The only way seems to select area with sea as most part of it. It's weird, I don't know if this is a bug or no...

downgrade
Is there any possibility do make a downgrade?
The offline maps aren´t aviable in Brazil.
How could they make a mistake like that.
ridiculous!
with the previous version i saved a couple of offline maps without problem. after upgrade, all the savings has lost, plus i cant get map for italy now, and i am going there for travel in a week time! how ridiculous!!
downgrade worked for me
I got hit with this too, I don't have a cell plan in Brazil and was relying on cached maps to get around.
To fix it I completely uninstalled the Maps application. Then searched for version 6.8.1 apk on google. There were several places to download it from. I then side-loaded it on my SD card and it is working again with the Labs feature.
What does side loaded mean?
yeah, its possible, and I have downloaded a map and used it as well..
http://www.gpsworld.com/gis/location-and-lbs/news/google-maps-android-now-works-offline-13159
Offline mode doesn't work very well; if you set data connection off and restart your phone for instance you will not longer be able to access saved maps.

[Q] Market unlocker doesn't work anymore

Well yeah guys Google messed up something on their servers... I used market unlocker till now and i woke up today to search for some app on Google Play and I realised that I can't see paid apps or any apps that are unavailable in my country anymore...
Tried clear cache and data of market unlocker, tried Play store clear cache and data... Nothing...
So anybody experience this... ?
The thing is that was my most valuable app for seeing all apps, because i can't see all apps and can't download all apps from my country...
FOUND SOLUTION!!!
Download TunnelBear from PlayStore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tunnelbear.android
Login, choose whatever you want UK or US server turn on and when you got in statusbar connected, go to settings>applications>playstore>clear data and force stop
Now exit by pressing back button and launch PlayStore, hit accept and you'll se ALL magazines, music, paid apps etc.
The same here. Stopped working - I think last night.

I recently saw someone on reddit in Belgium saying he still gets the US market.version, based on his CC which was issued in US. Maybe Google changed the check from SIM to that. But I wonder what happens if the user doesn't have a CC added..

You need to clear Play Store cache. but tere is an easier way, connect to US VPN, then go to play store>settings>content filtering select so that some checkmarks switch off, press ok go to settings again and select show all apps. All US content will show up in play store.
US VPN with very speedy connection is hideipvpn.com. I'm using that.
Thank you so much OP for the TunnelBear option. I've been trying like hell to make magazines and stuff work haha!
But one question, is tunnelbear free? Gonna work forever?

[Q] Google Talk App Dead?

Can anyone else confirm that the G-Talk app no longer works/signs in? Whenever I try signing in, all of my contacts and my own contact are permanently grayed out, despite having internet connectivity (tested both over wifi and cellular). When I tried installing Hangouts, this issue was no longer present, Really sucks because Hangouts is a major step backward from Google Talk for obvious reasons (no status messages, shows people who are away/busy as offline, bloated layout, bloated contacts list, doesn't show online status of people you are chatting with in same window, generally confusing UI, etc.)
Tried on Samsung SM-N900T (T-Mobile Note 3) but I do not believe this issue is device specific.
Thanks.
This is currently happening to me, although it works on a new install of my current ROM. This makes me wonder if a Play Services update (or similar service) killed it intentionally. I'm going to let everything update after a new install, while it's working, and see if it dies.
I'm seeing the same thing. It works if I update to hangouts.... ugh
So now I guess our next step is to figure out what service is killing Talk and revert that as well. Because as I said this works on a new install of my ROM that was built before whatever was pushed.
I don't have a problem with you updating an app - but if you're going to force me to use the updated version, don't strip it of the features that made it great! Looks like Google has officially gone astray from their old slogan of "Don't be evil."

What phone/version are you using?
---------- Post added at 03:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:02 AM ----------
I found the culprit. It's Google Play services, which was updated Nov 5.
Uninstalling the update gives me gtalk connection back, but maps doesn't like it.
Looks like we need to find the apk before the update and prevent it from autoupdating
I can confirm that uninstalling the Google Play Services updates allows Talk to work fine again (Nexus 4). Also that some functions like "improved location" in Maps are asking for this update back.
What I don't really get is that I never enable auto-updates, only pick them manually, and that Talk suddenly stopped working last night. Even though the last Google play services update i did was at least a few weeks ago...sleeper feature? Or is Google Play Services updated anyway in the background? I'm not sure that finding the version prior to the one published on Nov 6th will fix the issue, at least without any drawback...
Google and its f*cked up Hangouts are really pissing me off. Forced updates, forced apps, I'm starting to feel like I'm dealing with Apple here.

Agreed. I don't mind even mind the update though. The reason there is forcing involved is because Google removed Talk's most important features and expects us to just deal with it. If things keep going this way, my next phone may very well be an iPhone or a Windows phone. I can't support a company that forces its customers to use featureless junk. Google needs to realize that while it still has the largest chunk of the market, there are two other major players, and they are not invincible by any means.
I'm using imo.im, at least for the time being.
Same here, I´ve noticed that Google Play Services update is the bad guy. The Hangouts (crap) works after the update. I removed the Google play services updates and gtalk worked again bit now the triangle with the exclamation about google play services keeps anoying me.
I´ve noticed on GPS (google play services) update, theere are two new permission requests and one of them is turn on/off network...
I´m sticking with gtalk and the triangle error
Sorry for my english, is not my native language.
Update: After disabling google+ notifications, the triangle on status bar has gone
Ugh. Kit Kat came with this all pre-loaded. I did install the Talk APK but yeah, it can't login. Not sure what I can force-downgrade to get it to work without breaking stuff too badly. Anyone have any ideas?
I really, really can't stand Hangouts. It's not an IM program.
On my Nexus 4, reverting Google play services allows me to use Talk again, but I noticed I am now unable to send mails with the Gmail app. I can receive just fine, but no way to send...anyone having this too (with the factory version of gplay services)?
Also the network icon constantly gets grayed out. It seems to be working fine... Strange though.
I update the gplay services again, no Gmail is too much to ask for me.
I'll use another messenger while waiting for a new gplay services update to come out. Or maybe waiting to get an previous apk that keeps the overall functions working just fine.
I remember when I would proudly feel satisfied with having chosen Google and Android over the rest. Hm not so much today. Wouldn't really quit android, but damn I hate seeing it weakened by those socially-networked-marketing-alterations.
If anyone has a decent backup for gplay services that allows talk AND the rest to work fine, I'll be interested! Gotta say I have the previous version (the one right before the Nov 5th update) in a nandroid bkp, and somehow Talk doesn't work anymore with it.

First off, I have suffered from the same issue but found a solution. Secondly everyone should be aware that it depends on the Android version you are currently running if the Google Play Services can be downgraded without an issue. The best version that works with talk, maps & gmail is 4.0.31... if anyone needs a copy let me know! -RFE
I can confirm this issue... It is rather frustrating that I now have to use hangouts.

I have the Samsung Galaxy S2 and the S4. On my S2 Google Talk works and on my S4 it doesn't. The both have the updated version of Google Play Service. So as for me that's not the solution.
I'm still trying to figure out a way for Talk to work on my S4.
Hangouts has grown on me. It was a bit bulky at first, but the UI is the same as Gmail and the new email app for 4.4 so I've gotten used to it. Plus now it can handle SMS messaging too its essential.

It just doesn't do what I want it to do. I don't want all my contacts mixed in the same basket. IM contacts, email contacts, gmail contacts and phone/SMS contacts are NOT the same pool and I don't want them to be in the same pool. I want to be able to logout of IM and have people in the IM pool NOT BE ABLE TO CONTACT ME, for example - and right now I don't even have that anymore even if I never ever use Hangouts (which I don't). People can IM me when I'm offline and it goes to gmail and sits there for a week or two until I open gmail.
Again, I have no problem with Hangouts as The Big Social Integrator, but they should've left Talk out there for those of us who do not WANT it all integrated.

[Q] bypass android market restriction

Hello,
I am trying to download a game that is only released in Canada, how can I download the game and by pass the country restriction that is associated with my account?
Thank you.
Try using a VPN that terminates in Canada like BTGuard. Or ask, the developer to check off USA as a country that can download the app. It is a simple checkbox for them, I have published an app to Play, and I only selected USA, Canada, and the UK, but it can be changed with one checkbox.

I found some directions here, though for another VPN provider. http://help.unotelly.com/support/articles/60448-how-to-download-out-of-country-apps-from-google-play-store

This is easier: you need an app called Market-Enabler... it used to be in the play store but it was removed some time ago.
http://androidweeds.com/market-enabler/
If you have trouble finding or downloading it google up "MarketEnabler_v3113.apk"
Basically, root/busybox is required, and you clear data on the Play Store app, then run this and select a carrier that is local to the market you need (ie. some Canadian carrier in this instance), open and log into the Play Store, download and install your app, then close the Play Store, run the app again and restore your original settings.
Actually, I don't think VPNing into another country will work, it is based on code in the device itself and is irrelevant to your physical location or IP address allocation location.
Market enabler does not work. Nothing happens when I try to use it. Nothing changes.

I appreciate the help, however I have tried all of those methods. It seems google keeps track of the country where you created the account. I even tried creating an account using a proxy from the country I need and it still changed it to US after I logged into the account from my device. Im not sure why google is so strict with country restrictions, but its unfortunate.
The game is in beta stage right now and I have been in touch with the developer about bugs and such, and they will release the game in my country but in about a months time. I appreciate the help, xda members are the best.

No google cards on my LG G watch and reminders give error

Hi, I just bought this and the package arrived an hour ago the update is downloading but for some reason, my google card (I don't know why but I only have weather and stories) won't sow up :| and location the google app settings give me error when I open them!
but anyway the only thing i see on my lg gwatch is the steps and notifications like viber, how can i get more cards and then add them to my g watch? like even the simple weather!
and my bigger problem is that whenever i try to create any kind of remind it doesn't work, it works on the google app on my phone. other stuff like note to self or "how tall is the empire state building" work!
EDIT: After updating to lastest version reminders work. still no google cards ;(
Android Wear app is us to date? As well as Google app? What OS?
Latest Google app versions don't display separated cards anymore, but you should get one that you can swipe to see other cards.
You said that settings of Google app don't open? Try clearing data on phone then reconfigure it.

You mentioned VPN, so maybe you are in a country where Google Now doesn't work (for some reason that Google thinks it's not supposed to work)?
