That's odd - I just did a search of the web and Google forums and there's no indication that the app doesn't or shouldn't work in Oz - one of the accents it's set up to recognize is 'Australian English' and the app's just an app that should work on any WinMo phone, it's more likely that your handset/OS isn't supported - what device do you have?

I actually don't use hope maps often as SA web is really expensive, isn't there a wat of installing maps and just connecting to pin your position?

Yes if you have GPS on your phone and yes (sort-of) if you don't.. there's a feature called 'my location (beta)' and if you don't have GPS it'll try to determine your location from your nearest cell tower - obviously this can be way off the mark though and doesn't help much if you're completely lost out in the country.

The voice search for Android devices such as the Magic has apparently been available since last June, see this page which I've transcoded for wap so it shouldn't load too much data: http://is.gd/bWrr2 Perhaps as they suggest, you should search the Android Market for 'Google Maps' rather than using the google.com/gmm link. Hope this helps.

I'm at a bit of a loss then mate - it doesn't seem to make any sense, an app either works on an operating system or it doesn't, and as you can see from the link it's working for the Magic - territory shouldn't make any difference. I could understand it if it wasn't returning results for parts of Oz or something, but I can search anywhere in Australia. Presumably you can use the normal typed

search? Is there nothing in 'settings' to enable/disable voice search? This seems really odd, I can't find any references to it not working anywhere.
