Hi all.
Finally got my e-mail saying my Nexus One is on its way, yipeee..
Does googlemaps turn by turn software work here?, or even the android co-pilot 8?
What are you xda members using?
Thanks in advance everyone.
google maps navigation works, dont know about the others.
Really? Are you sure?
Mine just gives directions and draws the route on the map.
Yes, of course it does turn by turn.
Thanks..

Does googlemaps work like tomtom etc, i.e does it speak and say "at the next junction turn left" etc.

yes, and it has Text to Speech, meaning it will speak street names. It also has live traffic and such.
You should probably know you need a data plan for this, because google maps are loaded on-the-fly and are not stored on memory (except your most recent places which are cached)

Google Navigation only works if you're in the US. If the device detects you're anywhere else it will only bring up the standard maps app, so you need a 3rd party one (unless someone hacks it, assuming it's hackable given that it requires data off the net to work.. if google don't have navigation data for timbuktu it won't work there whatever you do..).
Awesome..

I was worried about having the N1 and no sat-nav software for a couple of months...
Is yours a US or International N1? and does it have pinch zoom?
im in US. no pinch zoom because multitouch is disabled in the US.
I didn't think I was imagining the lack of a full navigator in google maps (I'm UK based)
I have co-pilot for when I'm roaming outside of the US.
Works fine.
Anyone using TomTom Australia on Nexus one? If so, how feature rich is this version of TomTom?
- Is it using Sensis map?
- Does it provide overspeeding audio-warning for ALL roads, or at least 99.9% of the roads?
- Does it audio- warn you when approaching speed cameras and red light?
- Does it audio-warn you when approaching schools, or at least POI selected.
Info please..

Hi Henchman.
Which version (i.e. build number) of co-pilot 8 are you using on your nexus one?

That is not correct, it is.

That was me, and I still can't activate copilot on my hero. The problem might be that I have an extra maps license (US+EU installed). I'll post updates if I get anything out of copilot support...
PS: I of course installed the newest version from the market.
I went from G1 to N1 no problem.

Actually, international GMaps turn-by-turn hack has been out for quite some time. It just tricks Google into thinking you're just getting directions drawn on the map, then translates that into navigation data. Works perfectly, except the bar at the top that shows your next turn is blank. So, Google doesn't have nav data for timbuktu, but you can get direction data for it, and that's good enough for the hack to translate to nav data. Gotta love XDA, don't you?
By the way, I don't know if the hacked Maps for international nav has been ported to the N1 yet or not, but it is relatively simple. I'll talk to someone and see if we can't get it working soon.

Hi,
After searching for days i'm giving up. Please help ?
What i want:
I wanna have a notification icon in the taskbar, just like the BT-icon:
"if GPS is active then show GPS-icon".
I understand that the trick is to monitor the use of the GPS Intermediate Driver. Who can and will help?
Thnx!
I hate to kick this, but please, can anyone of the developers enlighten me?
I'm gonna join the bandwagon for this, I would also like this feature.

Thnx! I hope more will join us, and more will dive in to this to actually get a solution
That's one of the things I'm missing!
Or maybe flash the notification light swiftly 3 times every 10 seconds to symbolize GPS activity.. My previous phone had such led and it was great to actually be able to see what's happening, or that what should happen actually does happen.
I still want this! Is there any developer....?
I want it to
I found it here. It worked on my Topaz but it would be nice if the icon is a satelite instead of just a red/yellow/green dots
I have contacted the author and hope he responds
Hello everyone.
I too needed an application like this and since I had no luck finding one on the market, I decided to write the app myself. You can find on the market by the name GPS Monitor Free by Illyrium. What the app does - it activates itself as soon as GPS is in use and deactivates when GPS is no longer in use. While GPS is in use, the app shows a notification icon with the satellites in view. For the moment this is all that the app does, but I am working to add some other features to it.
The app is free for the moment - and will be free (even the pro version) for everyone that helps me by sending me bugs/features.
If you have any ideas, you are more than welcome to pass them to me an I will try to implement them as soon as possible.
Cheers,
Adrian

Anyone got buzz.google.com working on the Nexus One? I always get the desktop view when I go to that site.
and I have Cyanogen 5.0Beta4. I seem to lost the ability to use mobile websites like espn, instead i get the full desktop version.
Thanks

If you lost the ability to see the mobile pages then you need to install the latest MT addition from Cyanogen. There was an issue with the first MT add on he put out and fixed it in the second one.
I recommend going back and re applying the MT add on and you should be able to see mobile pages again.
You can also D/L Google Maps 4.0 with built in Buzz support. Just go to the market, click on the downloads tab, and the update should be waiting for you!
Anyone knows why I don't have the update promted yet? Is it US only? (I'm oversea).
Also, if I go to buzz website on my N1, I can see the interface, but if I post a Buzz.. it keep spinning a small wheel in front of it, and it never completes (nor posts my Buzz)
Any ideea?
I got the same issue. Maybe it is because our gmail hasn't been updated with Buzz yet.
update google maps in the market
Anyone else find it subliminally retarded that Google puts the Nexus one behind the Iphone on its Buzz page ?
heh yeah, I noticed that myself...
However, here: http://www.google.com/intl/en/mobile/buzz/ there is an iPhone surrounded by 2 N1's.
Go figure.
I understand google though - people with androids will probably get buzz anyway in some future update (won't be surprised if it will be come a builtin app/link like google goggles) - but the real challenge is for them to get iPhone users to use it, pushing them more towards the google cloud.

click get buzz on you phone. you will be happy too see it has a nexus one first then a iphone, followed by another N1. if that helps you a bit lol
I'm quite liking buzz. It's so easy for me to see what people in my area are saying and I can just strike up a conversation with them.
Initially I thought 'How will they get people to leave Twitter to do this' then you realise pretty much everyone is already registered (I'm following people already who have never heard of Buzz!) it's just if they choose to use it.

After a few tries I got to post a buzz both from the page in the browser, and from google maps.
But, now I can't delete the two posts...
Lots of spinning wheels. Seems unfinished.
But I like the idea. Hope it will work better in the coming days

I had those issues too - read that it might have to do with the accepting terms thing not registered properly so I wiped my Browser cache and rebooted.
Seems to still do it but then later I'll see it was posted. Also seems to do it straight after a reboot, but then become sluggish. Still glitchy I guess
Dayz
Edit - Just updated maps and the Buzz Layer thing seems to work better than the one via mobile google. What will be useful I think once it takes off, is that you can pop over to a place and look for any buzz about traffic or weather problems that people might post from a location.

Thanks. Reflashing the mt addon allowed me to see mobile pages again. Buzz works fine now.
I've updated my Maps application to version 4 via Market, but I am not seeing the Buzz layer in Maps.
I wonder is it because this is being rolled out on a country by country basis?
The buzz layer is not enabled by default, you need to press the options, and then choose layers->buzz.
The easiest way to check if your gmap version is correct is to go to options->about - it should be 4.0.0 (#4046).

Thanks. My Maps is of the version you have listed. However when I go to Layers, I do not see the Buzz layer available for selection. Maybe, like Navigation, this Buzz layer will be turned on for other countries bit by bit?
Anyway I'll wait and see how it goes.

Hello all,
I bought Sygic for Android last night and am very pleased with how the Desire handles SatNav.
The only issue i have is the sound.
I cant get the voices to play and its completely silent. The phone makes noise, its not on silent, Sygic is enabling the sounds, but i get nothing.
Does anyone else have this problem, similarly, does anyone have the vocies working ?
Ta
go co-pilot works a treat
One step ahead. Went and bought it this afternoon. Does tts work in it using native tts?
Just installed this and all works fine, bit slow going through the menus but voices are working. Will do till tomtom get their finger out.
What's the exact version of Co-pilot that you guys have?

I have Sygic on mine, and the sounds is fine. I get correct turn-by-turn instructions when routing, and speed camera warnings come through as well. Not sure where your problem lies though - seems a little odd. Perhaps re-installing might help?
Ta, but ive binned it in favour of Copilot now.

I dunno about their current product, but their new one, Aura, looks rather tasty. Anyone know when they're due to release the Android version?

I know you no longer have Sygic but I think I may have found the cause of the problem. I had Sygic on my HD2 so it was free to transfer it to my Desire but I also had no voices. I just tried disabling voice to text by selecting Touch Input in the Tap to compose window, restarted Sygic and now I seem to have sound again.
Did you have voice to text working when you had your problem with Sygic?

I'm surprised TomTom haven't introduced this 3D Landmark, etc to their mobile products (or any other?). In fact the design hasn't changed in ages!
I've got both the Sygic and Co-Pilot products running on my Android. Not had a chance to properly test them out. Co-Pilot seems a bit more 'polished' appearance wise.
Had a response from Sygic today
Thank you for your e-mail. I would like to inform you that application Aura will be available also on Android device. In this moment I can't give your exact date, but it should be available during upcoming couple of weeks. Thank you for understanding!
Hope 'couple of weeks' isn't a typo. Unfortunately, in a later email they said they did not think there would be an upgrade path from Mobile Maps.
I tried to rentall Sygic to my Desire tonight but it cmae up with the error that it was already registered on another device. REALLY ??
That was the last thinkg i did with it. Copilot reigns supreme on my phone now.
Whats the price of co-pilot on the android market?
I don't want to spend a fortune on software the phone is expensive enough

Right now, I will use TomTom on WM
Just seen this thread over in the Desire section - looks like Navigation is working in the UK now without needing to hack maps etc!
Quick test shows it appears to be working fine, haven't been out anywhere but it's giving locations, step by step directions etc!
Anyone else confirmed?
Holy cr*p it does seem to be doesn't it?
I'm stuck in work at the moment, but the navigation option has appeared and I can get it to launch. May have to go for a drive at lunch just to test it
Can anyone confirm it is working? I would LOVE to ditch Co-pilot.
I really hope it isn't an error on Google's part, which they are shortly going to correct and take it away again!?
Yeah, the option has appeared, I cant get a GPS signal tho as im stuck inside at work too.
Awesome update
It is working on my unrooted nexus one. It warns it is BETA version but who cares as Google always beta anyway. Version 4.1.1(#4156)
I did not even realise from the last update they had enabled it. No mention of it
How do i get to the turn bu tyrn navigation? When going to car home, navigation, then enter the end point, then i get some driving directions i can either see on a map, or as text, but i dont get that real turn på turn navigation, is there something you should activate or something like that?
Iam from Denmark btw, i wanted to test out if it maybe was opened to other parts of Europe aswell.
Exciting! Want to test it.

there should an option name "Navigate" just above the "directions". Ensure you have version 4.1.1

I tried via Google Maps first of all and the option wasnt there, so I installed Nav Launcher from the market and that seems to generate directions.

PS But thanks again to Brut for his hack that made it work on the old version of Google Maps..)
can confirm its working here too.
In UK with latest Cyanogen on N1.
Been using CoPilot so far which has been ok, but id like to see how google's fair.
This is very cool and it has been released by google quicker than I thought it would have been. I haven't used it for a long journey but compared to the hacked version it seems to tell you the instructions before the junction rather than after so good work google. This is some nice proof that google is working hard to improve nexus one. One other note is my version says htc passion and nexus one and it also has my locale as eng (uk).
Awesome, that's [brut] Maps and Nav Launcher gone from my phone.
Great work, Google!
Yup, working on mine too.
The voice search is superb, just tap the voice search button on the Google search bar, then say "Navigate to" followed by the destination...
Yay. That's the tomtom in the dustbin as soon as my car mount arrives.
Navigation looks really good.. street names too, which was a surprise.
if i try and use the google maps application i get force close every time it searches for directions it works if i use nav launcher though...anyone got any ideas?
im using latest cm with nextheme and avs kernel...
thanks
