Google Maps no longer and option from my Contacts

[cwillou]

All of a sudden when I click the icon to get a map for one of my contact addresses,  the only options I get are for VZ Navigator and it requires me to sign up for the monthly service.  It used to ask me if I wanted to use Google Maps or VZ Navigator.  Must be a setting but I can not find. Did a search in the forum and didn't see this so hoping someone can assist me.

Do you have the latest build of Google Maps installed, it should be 5.2.1....  If not then I would go to market and download update.

I did update to the latest version as you suggested but the problem exists.   Even before the upgrade I did, I could open and use Google Maps on it's own.  The problem I'm having is that when I click to get a map of an address from inside contacts, I no longer get the option to select Google Maps rather than VZ Navigator.  All I get are options that require me to sign up for VZ Navigator. 

I was updating my contacts in Gmail all day today and I must have changed a setting (my guess). Just can't figure it out. Appreciate any help.  Thanks much, Cathy W.

Try slearing the default app by going to Settings - Applications - Manage Applications - All Tab - VZ Navigator - Clear Default, after this it should prompt you with selection.
