Google Maps 2.3.2 Signed Touchscreen Version
This is a version of Google Maps which has been signed by Google. Signed apps contain a digital signature and a checksum. If the app is modified after it was signed it will no longer work, which helps to protect the user from malicious hacks.
More importantly to most users, if an app is unsigned many phones will constantly prompt the user to grant the app permision to connect to the internet. This makes map apps, which have to download new map tiles every time you pan or zoom, almost unusable.
This app doesn’t work on Boost Mobile or Sprint phones which do not support the industry standard signatures which Google uses. It does work on many Samsung and Nokia phones from T-Mobile USA, AT&T and Tracfone.

I downloaded Google Maps and it runs fine I keep getting “Untrusted Midlet you are accessing the network.
Data charges may apply. Continue?” when I bring up and when I navagate. ny suggestions on how to correct that?
This is a signed Midlet so you shouldn’t be getting an “untrusted Midlet” message. The signature is in the .jad file so you must install using the JAD link. If you install using the JAR link the app may work but it won’t be signed.
Thanks a lot Dennis, worksfine now, Jim
Just downloaded google maps onto my LG840G, and its works perfectly. thanks a bunch. shame there is no Pandora app.
Very encouraging. Just ordered an LG840G myself, and am not savvy at all about these matters. Do I need a signed version of Opera? If so, do you recommend a specific version? Also, does google maps operate like a GPS (that question alone will tell you how little I know). Thanks for any input.
You don’t need a signed version of Opera Mini but you might want one. See How to Download Opera Mini Signed Versions for more information.
This version of Google Maps doesn’t support GPS. It displays maps for any location you specify and can provide directions between two addresses.
After entering the jump code, does it make any difference whether whether I select JAR, JAD or ZIP? Thanks for your assistance!
You should use the jad file which is a small text file that contains the digital signature plus meta data that some phones require, like the jar file size and a list of which APIs the app uses. The phone uses the information in the jad to verify and download the jar.
If you get an error with the jad you can try clicking the jar link which sometimes works when the jad doesn’t. If you’ install using the jar the app will not be signed.
The zip is an archive containing the jad and jar intended for download to a PC. If your phone supports installing apps with a cable or Bluetooth you can download the zip, extract the files and push them to the phone. Phones can’t install it directly.
This is a great site. It took very little time to download the app to my LG840g phone.
this is a very popular site for apps.I like it.
I like of this site because it’s verygood tankyou verymuch!
