2.1 OTA Beginning 5/11/2010

I had the update too, but I don't have pinch to zoom for maps.

Yep, just tested it. A few nice new features though. I like the Google Labs add-ons.

anyone who just updated maps notice a new "navigation" app on their phone. It's a blue arrow, I don't recall seeing this before today.

So now we have Navigator and Navigation.

Pinch to zoom does not seem to work in Google Maps.

Wouldnt this be a feature of google maps.apk (whatever it is called) or does the OS build control what programs have pinch zoom? I would think that the OS has that option available in coding, and then each app chooses to access it.

Does any other phone have pinch zoom in google maps?

Is it part of the new update for maps that just came out today?

Been watching this thread because my GF owns a Eris and is excited to get the 2.1 with navigation etc. I have a Moto Droid and when that update was released everyone on the forum was instructed to NOT install the update when prompted but to pull the update.zip off the SD card and post it to the forums first. I guess the update destroys the update.zip when you run it.
