Bing Maps has been patched for their latest API change for webOS.  webOS Nation forums user, Misj’, has developed two patches to cover both the Pre and TouchPad bases.

Microsoft has switched over to v8 of the maps API and left our old v7 in the dust. Misj’ discovered the issue and wrote a simple patch to change the URL the app points to.

Before and after on a Pre.

It’s not 100% perfect since this change doesn’t fix a couple things:
– Birds-eye view does not work any more and results in a blank screen.
– Even though the locale is set to PalmSystem.locale, you may have to add your country to your search criteria to make sure you don’t get a random country result.

Before and after on a TouchPad.

There’s also a little bit of confusion about which patch to use since some have reported that the TouchPad version of the patch doesn’t work on all TouchPads.  For some reason, some TouchPads have the Pre version of Bing Maps or so it would seem. Basically, if you try to install the TouchPad patch and it fails, try the Pre3 version and you should be fine.

You can get the patches and talk about it .

Personally I use Google Maps by 72ka which generally speaking works perfectly. But I’m always happy when a developer takes the time to restore functionality to webOS. Thanks Misj’!

      My 50UT80506LA LG WebOs TV does not support my office security camera system via wifi to TV. We need (gCmob app) in list of app.

      It is unprofessional on part of LG TV that they do not resolve the basic issue of adding app gCmob in their app store.
      My 50UT80506LA LG WebOs TV does not support my office security camera system via wifi to TV.  We need (gCmob app) in list of app.
      I can't connect my office camera via Wi-Fi to LG-TV. No body in LG TV technical team is proactive in resolving the issue of customer. They are more happy to befool the customers, rather than looking for technical solution through wider thinking.
      Please talk to you top management and make a visit to our office to understand the customers plight..
      Please respond to customers needs.

      BUG!!! Audio over ARC always muted since WebOS 5.5 update on lg-oled65c9pla
      By stevef
      Since my lg-oled65c9pla auto-updated to WebOS 5.5, there is a new bug.
      The TV is connected to my Cambridge Audio Evo 75 amplifier over ARC - on powering the TV, it has always started up the amp, and switched it to use audio, instead of the appalling TV speakers. The whole setup has worked flawlessly for 5 years, but since WebOS 5.5, the amplifier starts, but is left in a muted state, and using the un-mute or volume controls on the TV remote makes no difference to turning on audio. The only way to get audio to play though my amp a speakers is to turn the amp's volume dial or press a volume button on the a amp's remote - this then unmutes the TV and audio is back. 
      There is no setting I can find in the TV that relates to whether the ARC channel starts muted or not...
      No software has changed in my amp.  This is an annoying new bug in the TV software, I assume down to some CEC changes.
