Where can I download Google Maps 5.0? Google Maps 5.0 looks like a great upgrade, with offline maps and 3D. However, I can't find it in the market. The direct download link on Google does't work as well.

Do you know where I can download it directly?
You are probably not in the US, right? Seems that Google Maps 5.0 is not yet available in many countries (just like Google Reader for Android). Meanwhile, you can use a link to the .apk file here: http://thegadgets.net/technology-news/download-google-maps-5-0-apk/

Download the apk file, copy to the SD card, and open with e.g. Linda File Manager. Hope this helps.
