I have the app (Velobike) that uses Google maps as geolocation service. When I run this app instead of map it says "Install" though Google maps app is installed. On pressing "Install" app crashes.

Did anyone face such issues and manage to solve it?

(ad) For Velobike, it can be solved by using BikeMe, which includes Velobike stations: https://openrepos.net/content/sthocs/bikeme

Hi, do you still get the error if you retry? I got a comment from a user having the same error, but then he updated the comment as he was apparently able to install the app.

Hi, possibly it waa me who leave you a comment. The error gone after updating SFOS.

Thanks for confirming, probably Jolla was updating their repos for the update when you tried the install.

You need to install Google Services to enable Google Maps integration to other apps. Follow the instructions at https://together.jolla.com/question/30926/howto-install-google-play/ to achieve this.

Edit: Only installing this might be enough: https://together.jolla.com/question/5771/google-play-services/?answer=51677#post-id-51677

OMG... It seems that I'll prefer to use sluggish browser version of Velobike rather than torture my Jolla that way. But thanks anyway.
