Maps with navigation

do i have to pay for it, if i open maps and enter a adresse i wanna move to it only shows me a route plan no navigation...

It's an extension to the google maps application which is only available in the USA. It's free but there are licensing issues that, as I understand it, google are working on getting sorted out.
SC

After it brings up the directions, there should be an option to "navigate". Not sure if it's available in all countries. Where are you from?

follow these instructions: http://jkkmobile.blogspot.com/2009/12/how-to-google-navigation-turn-by-turn.html
and it will work anywhere in the world. You'll also want to go to the marketplace and download the free app called "nav launcher" which launches the hacked maps easily.

Google Maps

Hey everyone,
I have a problem running google maps, it installs fine but everytime i want to run it an error pops up saying that it isn't signed or that a component might be missing. The strange thing is that it was working before when i got the device and installed it and after a hard reset it doesn't anymore. It kinds of bugs me because i use it quite often!
if anyone is able to help me please don't hesitate!
Thanks!

with your mobile, go to http://mobile.htc.com/uk/01_applications.html and download it from there. then it will work again. before doing this, uninstall the installed version.
Thanks, it worked!
Got my google Maps back up and running.
Cheers
Math

I just did the update and now the Maps search Touchflo 2D menu option does nothing. Maps itself is fine. Any ideas how to get the search option to launch Maps again?
Tried soft reset already?

Try installing Google maps to the internal storage, should work then.
However, does anyone know if there's a way to make location tab work even with google maps installed on the card?

Doh! Thanks for that, it works from main memory. It would be nice to have the option to run from card though.

Hi there. The unit I got in Malaysia doesn't come with google maps. The icon on the touchflo is missing. Where would I start if I want this application? Thanks.

True. Sophisticated Google maps capabilities do not work in some locations, Malaysia included. You may need to use M2DC to enable the "Location" tab in TF. See here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427392

New google maps with voice search

Dont know if anyone realised it but there is a new version of google maps with VOICE SEARCH just go to android market and search for GOOGLE MAPS should be the first app.Also if you have a uk magic with no voice dialing as standard just download the google search by voice app in the market and your all set it also seems to be a lot faster
http://phandroid.com/2009/06/15/updated-google-maps-for-android/
Thanks for that it works like a charm

Download the "google search by voice app" in the market,then watch the video link in my first post to activate
The new update doesn't have Street View. Are they discontinuing the project?
it has streetview im using it now!!
You are right, but it is not an option in the map modes like it was before. You have to long press the map on the location, then a window pops up and there you select street view. Don't really care about that since I am in Canada and there are no street views here yet, at least that is what I think. As for the voice recognition/search function, I do not have that option in the search function. Looked all over the place for it but still can't find it. There is suppose to be a mic beside the google search bar in the Search option. Not there on Rogers Canada network. Hopefully they will fix that soon.

can't find this app, when i search for it, only one app appears and it is google maps which is already installed...
still no voice search for me.
strange.
The Roger HTC Magic (I have one) doesn't appear to have libspeech.so installed - I think that is the missing piece. I am not sure why we don't see the google search by voice app that the others are speaking about.
I'm confused why the voice dialer works - I guess that doesn't use libspeech.so?

When you are in Google Maps, do Menu > Search then select the microphone, which will let you do voice search.

It's close to the same hardware - different frequencies or something for the different carriers. The other difference is each carrier can customize the Android OS they release. Rogers in Canada, for example, released their Android phones with MS Exchange support. But they obviously left some other things out. That's why I want to root my phone so I can put whatever software I want on there.

That's the issue - there's no such button. Missing libspeech.so is the culprit here I believe. And while I have the file from other sources, I don't have root access to the phone, so I can't install it to the lib folder to make it work.
What a pain.. when I try to update mine, I get the message:
"Installation Error: Package file was not signed correctly."
Any suggestions?
I installed the new version of maps but I can't find the voice search option, it's just not there (same as previously reported) i'm on vodafone australia.
Any idea how we can get the voice working?
Well I upgraded the Maps app and have the voice search. It's rubbish! I've tried speeking as clearly as possible but it's all over the place. Searching Edinburgh comes back as Dayton, Ohio, USA everytime Typing is much quicker anyway.
New update of Google Map has been released, v3.1.1
I've updated and retried, it's still rubbish.
Ya not sure what v3.1.1 fixes, there is still no voice search here in Canada yet.

Google navigation not available in Australia

on the 9/07/2010:
Car Menu and Google Maps Navigation. When you are out and about, Galaxy S makes finding your way around fun, easy and efficient. In the car, put Galaxy S into its mount, and weather, view map, voice search and navigation icons are instantly displayed. The Google Maps Navigation application allows you to find your destination easily and quickly even through the most complex streets. As you make your way, Galaxy’s internet-connected navigation with voice command and preinstalled Google Maps, provides three different views. Real street view, traffic view and satellite view.

Am I the only person who gets "Navigation is not available in your area" when I load the navigation app? Samsung are selling the phone with navigation as a feature, one I intended to use which is disabled because?
I was under the impression that Google Navigation was only available in the US as of right now.

I'm pretty sure they opened it up recently to the UK a short while ago, but so far I think thats it
I had the same issue, had to instal brut google maps to have working navigation. I knew google maps navigation wasn't available here, but it was kind of among to have a non working app pre installed ob a phone that is sold locally.
Sorry double post.
Just install Brut google maps

Not available in the market, but you can find it here.

Its works in Canada.. Google Navigation has been working in Canada for about a year now.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
There's no google Nav in aus yet as mentioned. Brut[maps] works, but be aware there are still some small subtle oddities (which don't really affect it's use), such as going the wrong way around on roundabouts (So if it says second exit, that might mean second exit counterclockwise, NOT the correct way).

If you can't find it on the market, you can always use google for off-market versions.
De4Ler,
Can I hijack this thread? or should I make a new one?
Is it possible to access market from a forbidden country?; Im currently in a vacation in Sudan (which market is not supported there) and VPN is not working either.

no no, this is not my problem. I was in Saudi Arabia (which has the free market supported) and I was able to get paid apps using market access.
But in Sudan, whenever I launch the Market it just loads the loading screen for a few seconds then closes without any error or a message. when I try to install apps using the website, it says "sorry, this application is not available from your country" for all apps. When I did a little research on that it turned out that Google has forbidden access to the market (or should I say most of its services; I get "error 403" whenever I try to access Google's features)

I know, but it is a PITA finding all the apps I want on the interweb and I'm not always near my computer, furthermore I want to upgrade my current apps and install others I couldn't find on the internet.
I've tried using VPN on HyperDroid, it connects successfully however I seem to not be getting any connectivity. I will try to look further in it. Thank you all for your suggestions.
Hi
After i install the market enabled, that means i can download paid apps for free??

Advice: Offline Navigation software?

Hi, all
I've been searching these days for an offline GPS navigation software for Wave 3 and found only an outdated NDrive with very old maps.
Is there any decent one?
Thanks

Go to Menu -> Settings -> Location (or GPS, i dont know how its called in english) -> scroll down and you'll find "Be On Road". Enable it, then relaunch the application.
Simple as f***k
