When I clicked a link like this:
http://www.google.com/maps/dir/....
It opens in Chrome.
How can I make it to open in Google Maps by default?
It used to open in Google Maps, but not anymore.
And I cannot remember that I changed anything on my phone.

Maybe see if chrome is set to default by chance. Then clear the defaults. Can't explain why it happened, just a possible solution is all.

Works for me - BUT - you have to use the links in Internet Explorer not Opera.
Ok so I got my phone for a few weeks now and I really enjoy it but I found something a little weird.
First thing I noticed is that i had Maps v4.0.0 installed and I thought all Desire's come with the latest 4.1.1.
I said no problem, I'll just go to the market and get it from there, but I realized that searching for Google Maps didn't find it, I found Sky Map, Map Editor and other stuff from Google and other but no Maps, nowhere.
Why is that? Is the android market localized by where you are? And if so, isn't Maps supposed to be available everywhere?
Because of the older version I don't even have the Maps Live Wallpaper that I saw in so many reviews.
Then I went online and download it manually and installed it (and I even got the Live Wallpaper), but because of this it doesn't show in my "Downloads" tab in Market and there's no way for it to notify me if there is an update.
Even on Goole Maps for mobile homepage it says "Tap Maps on the home screen. Search for "Google Maps" in Android Market to update."
1. Why don't I have it in Market?
2. How can I get it to notify for an update?
Looks like a localisation issue, when I updated Google maps I just did it from the downloads tab in Market.
If it is a localization issue, is there a way to change it?
I dont really like "Show Me" app and much prefer Google Maps, previously on my desire if I select a contacts address or an appointment address it would show it on Google Maps, however now on my new One X it does it through Show Me App.
Is there anyway to get the ROM (Calendar & Contacts) to use Google Maps to do this? Will I need to remove Show Me from the ROM for it to use Google Maps or willl that not work either, any help would be much appreciated.
I figure I cannot be the only person who thinks Show Me app is poor and Google Maps is far better.
Thanks in Advance!
Use titanium backup to remove show me and locations and it will default to gmaps. Why you cant choose which app loads by default is beyond me and VERY annoying!!
Thanks, haven't tried it yet but your reply is much appreciated!
Download the following app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tw.kenshinn.htccalendarfilter&hl=en
Select 'Other map', Set to Default and then choose Google Maps and again Set to Default.
No rooting required.

Brilliant, thanks.
Awesome!
Whilst I will remove the Show Me & Location apps when I am rooted as I deem them to be bloatware, this is an excellent solution until then, much appreciated.
Hi Guys, Happy New Year . I think i found a weird way google earth can be unfrozen without Titanium Backup. Maybe this was known by most of you, but i didnt know it, so I am sharing it. you can go to http://www.google.com/mobile/android/ on your nexus and click on google earth application icon. It opens a link in google play store application where an option for enabling the application can seen. Once it is enabled the Google application appears in the app drawer. It works until the phone is restarted, Then the application gets frozen again. There are other applications on that web page like google play books, etc but i have had mixed results with them. Earth has been working properly. I think this works only on takju. Check the screen shots or my video on youtube to see what i am talking about.

Guys, I love my Surface RT but the only thing that's missing for me is, well Google chrome of course, but since we can't get that (yet) I wonder if there is a translate function within IE just like Google chrome? Or is there a plugin available which I can install by jailbreaking my device?
I know that I can translate a website via Google translate website but its not working correctly for me.
Desktop-mode only, but IE has a feature called "accelerators" that let you highlight some text, then click a button (or press-and-hold or right-click on the text) and translate it, search it, map it, whatever. It's had this for about as long as Google Chrome has even existed, in fact! By default it uses the Bing services, but that's fully customizable. Tools -> Manage Add-ons -> Accelerators -> Find More Accelerators... will let you get to the Google ones, for example

Amazing both of them works better than via Google translate. Still waiting on a function like Google Chrome that translates it automatically but for now this option with the bookmark is the best!
Fingers crossed for a browser choice in win8.1
