Google Maps installed but No Function. Help!

I have the 9h (Global) with AT&T. I downloaded google maps from Google Maps and it downloaded fine and installed without a hitch. i selected to install in my start menu and when it was done I went to my start menu and found the Google maps program. I then opened it up and what loaded was a map of North & South America (a really zoomed out view) and nowhere to enter an address or anything. There is on the bottom left a "Search" tab and bottom right a "Menu" tab...but no way to click them. They are way to the left and right (above the AT&T emblem - web browser short cut) and (above the letter icon for email, text, etc.) I clicked every single button on this phone and nothing. It's just a useless picture of zoomed out USA, Mexico, and Canada. What the heck am i suppose to do with this? i installed this on the Verizon Q 9m (before I returned it and switched to AT&T) and it worked fine...with this phone this is all i get. I am really confused. Please someone help. After i figure this one out I will have to spin my wheels on the alleged built-in GPS...which I don't see in any of my setting options, etc.

Sounds like maybe that version of google maps is for another phone.

Remove it and try this one (DOWNLOAD LINK)

It works on my Moto Q9C

That is what i was thinking, but when i went to Google Maps it doesn't give me an option of different versions. i even went to just Google and searched for map downloads and get the same thing. Plus, how do I remove it?

I got it to work by downloading from my desktop and transfering CAB file via active sync. I then ran the CAB file on my phone and it installed and is now working the way it should. I'm still bewildered at why there was a problem. I simply went to google.com/gmm and downloaded the ONLY file to download. Now I have to spend time figuring out the GPS part.
