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.

Just downloaded & verified that the signed version of Google Maps 2.3.2 works on my new LG 306G (TracFone). Maybe you can add that to your “Reported Working On” list.

I downloaded JAD file for 9644 app directly to my LG 306g. I was able to launch it immediately after installation. After I exited the app, I wasn’t able to find it anywhere on my phone. I tried to re-install it, and got message that app is already installed. Despite warning I re-installed. Again, I was able to start immediately after launch, but not after exiting. My minutes get deducted if app is running. I just want to uninstall it. How do I do it?
I think you mean 6944 (Google Maps) as there’s no 9644. To find it on the phone tap the menu icon (looks like four squares in the lower right corner) on the home screen, then tap Games and Apps and scroll down to Google Maps. To delete it; highlight Google maps, tap the menu button and tap delete.
If you use Google Maps on WiFi it won’t use minutes.
Anything special about the maps app for the lg305c that anyone knows about? It is sister to the 306g. I am desperate for some kind of nav app that will run on this phone. Trac rather deceptively advertised the 305c as having “GPS capabilities.” Then tech support says that means the locater works on GPS. My devotion to TF has diminished considerably!
Feature phones generally don’t expose GPS location information to 3rd party apps. The GPS is chip is only there meet 911 requirements.
download of gps to my LG840g was downloaded great. Thank you
