Since updating to official o2 2.2 my google navigation doesn't work. It just sits there saying "checking navigation availabilty" is there a fix for this?
Thanks

Hi guys I have a question, does the google maps on your Streak have built in launcher to google navigation or is navigation a stand alone app?
For example if you search an address in google maps does it give you the option for both directions and navigation? or just directions?
Because I bought a Streak used, and the latter seems to be the case for me.
Thanks.

I do not have my streak on me at present but i am sure its the latter
stand alone app in launcher bud
Oh, I see, geez that sucks. Oh well, I hope 2.2 update brings lots of needed changes. I love the 5 inch screen, but really thats not enough.
It should be able to do both. When in google maps, hit menu, directions, choose a place hit go and screen will show up with directions and also "show on map" or "navigate"options to click on.
or you can use just the navigation app.
Google maps does have an icon which when you click will take you to a screen where you get options for navigation like voice, past trips etc. you can also place regular trips as icons on desktop

Agreed, navigation is an option on current google maps.
I have the navigation icon also.. remember that google maps will not update itself unless you visit market and install the latest version from there first..

The navigation button is enabled in google maps labs. It becomes an option on your icon along with call the icon.
Great if you are searching for a place you can just click navigate to get to it.
Also when directions are invoked in google maps it gives you the option, to use the normal map directions or navigation
The google labs options are good. It has layers button, measure tool etc

Thanks for the update. I pulled the battery and now it seems to work fine. Maybe i was installing and uninstall too many apps from the market?? Not sure but in any case its working now.
Hi, can anyone who has a streak please confirm the latest ver. of maps app? I am running 4.5.1 on a 1.6 (4399 build) version streak.
Also, is there anyway I can save maps to my sd card? I have no 3g in the country n edge is ridiculously slow..

I'm running 4.5.0 (#4519) which was just updated two weeks ago.

Can't same on a sd card but u can email a map to yourself and access it that way.
I updated to 4.5.1 today...also, if I email the map will it be of the whole country or jst the city and can I use normal agps on them without relying on edge...is tht possible?

Google Maps to Device
Check out Orux Maps. It will allow you to select and download a google map to your phone for use with GPS when no cell signal is available. I've used it hiking with a google terrain mapo and it works great!
is the compass in google maps wrong in portrait for anyone else? its correct in landscape. its just off my 180 degrees when i rotate the phone.
I'm on the latest stock for the Fascinate (rooted) with all of my carriers information written to it. Data and MMS work fine. For some reason, though, I cannot use any GPS-enabled apps without first starting Sprint Navigation. My carrier is IV Cellular and usually any aGPS server will work. I installed the Sprint Navigation app from the HTC hero I had. Anyone else have this problem, like on Cricket or Metro?

You could download the GPS Status App in the Market. If you run that before running your maps, it downloads the aGPS data too.
Or I could be completely wrong and a total idiot. But since it's a free app, won't hurt to try.
Hell, I think it worked. I uninstalled Sprint Nav though. The GPS status app almost seems like a combination of HTC's GPS Status and QuickGPS apps. I also set the phones PDE server to Verizon, not google using the Samsung dialer codes. it works better than ever.

Hello there, today I wanted to use RunKeeper or the MyTracks app from google, but they don't seem to be working, I get waiting for GPS signal and nothing..whereas when I open the google maps app, it seems to work normally.
Android v. 2.2.2, I'm sure gps is enabled for all apps.
Anyone having aame problem?
Bump.

Try downloading the app "GPS Test" from the play store, and after you open RunKeeper, open GPS Test, wait for a lock. I don't use RunKeeper, but whenever my phone can't get a lock for no obvious reason, opening the GPS Test does the trick. Has saved me countless times.
Dear members,
Since I installed kk the GPS icon is always present in the notification bar (see picture). Is this normal? If not, what can I do about it too get rid of it? I already tried disabling location services but that doesn't work.

I also have this problem with the 4.4.2 update. Even turning location services off doesn't remove the icon. The only way I've found - apart from a restart - is to launch a Google app which invokes GPS (such as Google Maps) and then close it.
I've seen this too, running C-RoM. Doesn't happen a lot, but when it does, I reboot to clear it. No idea what causes it, although I have a gut feeling it correlates with Maps usage.
