Removing previous addresses in Google Maps

[Chief Wahoo]

Before I get blasted, I did search and found an answer or several that give instructions on how to go in through Settings>Applications>manage apps> Filter all apps>Maps and then delete data, but when I try to do that I have no option to delete data.

Yet I go into Maps>Layers and in addition to Traffic, Satellite, Buzz and Latitude I have two of my last navigation addresses and really would like to delete them.

I try to go in through More to select "Clear Map" but it is grayed out and unselectable. I try to go in through Layers and "Clear Map" is grayed out there as well.

And if it is important to anyone, it is version 4.1.0 (#4126).

I even tried to use Cachemate to clear all cache entries, but sure enough, the two previous addresses are still there.

Anyone have a suggestion or experienced anything similar?

Not possible on this version of Google Maps. Clearing data/cache in past versions worked, but this feature has since disappeared. Google is aware of the problem though, and they are working on it.

Uninstall maps and then reinstall. Thats what I had to do.

Great information - not that the answer is the one that I had hoped to hear, but glad to know that Google is aware of it. I appreciate your response. Very helpful.

Yes you can!!!

I have searched all over the net and finally found a post by another person resolving this issue and IT WORKS so i would like to pass it on:

Select menu>settings>applications>manage applications. At the very top of the screen, select "all", and scroll to maps. Select map, and hit the clear data button. Confirm delete in the pop-up window. That should resolve the problem. I don't believe this procedure worked in the previous operating system.
Good luck and pay it forward
