Google maps crashes...

My Google maps app works fine except when I search for a place name beginning with the letter 'c' - then the app closes! Upper or lower case just the same. However, if I place another letter before the 'c' and then type the place name and then delete the first letter, all works fine!

Anyone experienced this or have any suggestions. Normally I would delete and rinstall but this is not possible with apps supplied from new.

ipad, iOS 4

Have the same problem. Basically, the MAPS app has corrupted data. The folks at the Genius bar told me to restore but, alas, while it solved the problem I lost all my data. Restoring data re-created the problem. I am not syncing my apps, books, etc and will have to manually reconfigure settings, email, etc. Painful. Problem solved but painful.

Hope someone from Apple software is reading this ... next patch will hopefully have a less buggy version of Maps.

Mine crashes whenever you search for something starting with the letter D.

I Refuse to wipe out all my data. I have tried a restore of backup and that's a no go. My iPad is packed.

Just like other apps, I wish apple had google maps in the app store for redownloading. I think that would fix it.

Lame.

For now, using other map apps for mapping D's but shouldn't have to. Imho
