Is this a problem with my GPS or does the new maps navigation fly forward and sort of imitate what steps you're supposed to take? Is there anyway to fix this?

Hey guys. Really really love my new n7 its amazing.
Of course the moment I got it home I rooted it and installed a few roms! You just have to!
I'm currently on paranoid android 2.23 with no kernel change.
My issue is this: my GPS won't lock at all! Google maps with GPS enabled without wifi always returns location unavailable.
I'm almost 100% sure the nexus has GPS so what's the problem?
Anyone having this issue or any solutions?

I can second that, it runs perfectly. Try a clean install.
Try GPS Status from the market and go to tools and erase the location assistant data then download assistance. Also GPS Status also shows you if you are picking up satellites and just not getting a lock. If you get even one lock just be patient and you will get the other ones you need eventually.
Your first lock in awhile is going to take longer because the GPS logic assumes you have changed locations and does a cold start up.
Give it some help and go outside with at least a decent look at the sky keep it in one place.
I haven't had top do this in a long time but sometimes if I had toggled GPS from on to off I wouldn't get a lock but rebooting with GPS toggled on would fix it.
And a few times reflashing the same kernel would fix a flakey GPS

GPS status is pretty good app! Thank you for suggesting it.
GPS status showed 9 sat and 9 locks, but maps didn't work still.
I then did the reset and download and now maps locks me and shows location.
Thank you!
This might be a little off topic but what exactly does the assistant data do?

Since the 4.2 update, this app is not working with Nexus 7. Any one got a workaround or a recommendation for a similar app.
Thanks.

Yes, Google hastily and sloppily killed it as a quick security fix. The issue has been reported back to Google to implement a better / alternative solution.
If it's important to you, please go to the link below and 'star' the issue so it gets Google's attention quicker.
Bring back the ability to toggle airplane mode, or a way to enable/disable the cellular radio without affecting other radios

Been using Better WiFi On off for now.
Anytime I run an app like MyTracks or MapMyRun or Strava, my GPS is spot on but it calculates the miles wrong. It also get's progressively worse as it gets farther along. It starts saying 1 mile is at about .7 miles, then 2 miles at like 1.3 miles by the time I hit about 8 miles I've really only gone about 4.
Anyone have any idea? It's really driving me nuts. I'm running Vanilla Rootbox with franco kernel. I had this problem with two different versions of both the rom and the kernel, I doubt it's related to those.
Sounds like it's a app issue.
If your gps is spot on then the gps is working as it should.
All calculations on distance traveled would be done by a app reading the gps info. So if your gps is accurately reporting your location it's not at fault.
Sure the apps aren't giving you results in km? Sounds like it may be just that.

That's what I thought too, but I doubt 3 apps are miscalculating the same way.Its not in km, first thing I checked

The correct answer is GPS isn't 100% accurate its always off by at least 10m which adds up over the course of 4 miles. This isn't an issue with the nexus 4 it happens on all phones.

Eh. Unfortunately that's not how gps "tracking" (or math) works.
I don't think either of you actually read the problem, or I just explained it like ****. Gps Accuracy is not the issue, even the speedometer was correct. Only the mileage was off.

has anyone ever experienced instances (it seems randomly) where the voice nav on g maps won't give you street names, but just turn and distance directions? i can't always be watching the screen, and this is a bummer.
it happens randomly, so that's why i'm checking here.
Don't have this problem. Are you using stock or custom ROM? KitKat or jellybean? Stock or custom kernel?

If you are looking for serious navigation, just use Sygic or Navigon or some other offline navigator.

stock 4.4.2.
My Google maps and navigation has gone really sour the past month or so. Its not as snappy as it used to be and it takes like ten minutes to find my location and then many times it doesn't even find me. Is there any way to troubleshoot or fix this maps so I can navigate comfortably?? Thank you all

Maybe clear the cache or data on the app?
