Street view? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sorry if this is a silly question but I understand Street view is already installed on the Nexus 7, however, I can't seem to work out how to use it. Where is it? Thanks for any pointers!

Good question, I can't find it either. Nexus 7 can't be selected in Google Play for the Street View app, which means it's installed.

From the map, if you press and hold on a location and then press on the popup, there is an option to select street view. Then you can drag the little guy on the bottom to wherever you want to be on the street.

Isn't there also a way you can the inside of a business (and move the nexus around using the compass to "look" around).... How does one do that?

Many thanks for this, it works!

Yes. It's either the layers option or the menu option once you're in street view. You'll see compass.

[Q] Navigation missing from maps

Ok, I don't know why I just noticed this but I have the newest version of maps on my cm7 n64 and there is no navigation. I know we don't have GPS on board but since we can hook up our GPS phones and other devices I thought it would still be availible. Is this something I can fix or what?
Sorry to bring up this dead topic but I was wondering if anyone might have an answer. Do I need to find a navigation apk or do I need to do something to activate it cause I would really like the Google maps navigation app on my nook. Or is it just impossible to get navigation on the nook?

With gps on, start Maps. Long press a destination and tap the bubble that pops up. Then tap Directions, then tap Get Directions or tap the up-pointing blue arrow.

It's in the Market settings.
In the market, touch My Apps, then the icon in the top right corner that looks like 4 lines. then uncheck "Add shortcuts for new apps".

Given your forum name and your post I had a lol. I remember I got a bunch of O'Reilly books for $3 or so and by the time I switched back to the desktop it was covered in icons of animals.

Cannot find the call/messages/contacts buttons in home screen

Maybe it is a stupid question, but suddenly I lost the software buttons on the bottom of the home. Is there a way to restore them?
Thanks
swipe left or right on the dock

what launcher are you using? ...
you need to use your launcher menu> First you may need to long press the phone , contacts and message apps to bring them to the desktop, than use edit to place them in the Dock ( will depend on launcher and settings will vary according to their menu)
If too confusing just download a different launcher from play store and use it
This is stock Touchwiz, right? Looks like it, so I'll assume so...
Go into Applications.
You should see the icons for Phone/Contacts/Applications along with your other apps.
Press the menu button, and click edit. Now you should be able to move the icons around.
Drag the phone/contacts/messages icon down to the dock. It should drop there, and then you'll have your shortcuts back.

It worked. Thank you. It was realy a stupid condition I was in.
Thanks again.
By the way, what is "stock Touchwiz"?
Touchwiz is the stock (or default launcher) that comes with the phone

what he said.
this is part of the "tablet/phablet" UI..on phones it stays the same (even though i wish it would adopt the "arrow down" button.
and a quick tip....longpressing icons in google apps (and even some others) will give you a little pop up telling you what the button is.:good:

Offline maps

Hello
I tried offline maps . I have read 10 different websites with instructions, but i cant see the button on my LG G2. Is there a trick that i am missing?
Thanks
Sent from my LG-D802 using Tapatalk
Its tricky. You search for the area you want to save the map for.. So in Maps, type in "Kentucky" for example . then tap the info bar and you'll see "save map for use offline"

Everything comes up peryour picture except the save offline!
What's going on?
Sent from my LG-D802 using Tapatalk
Try pressing the search bar then swipe to the bottom of the list that drops down. There should be written "save for offline maps" or sth else
unfortunately nothing comes up! and i am going for a trip in a couple of days and i cannot do anything..
arghhhhh!!

This is how you save an offline map:
Go to the area you want to save (even the zoom should be adjusted based on how much you want to save).
Tap the search bar and write "ok maps" and press search.
Feel the magic.
