Google's NAV isn't in my apps. All my other apps came over fine. Is it part of MAPS now ? If not, which one do I download from PLAY ? Searching for NAVIGATOR brings up a lot of choices.

I apologize for being new to this, but how do you use the GPS? All I see is an app that just downloads the position setting?
Would the GPS app work around the world (map wise).?
GPS is used in applications like Google Maps or navigation software like TomTom or Navigon.
For example, start Google Maps and set "Activate GPS" inside the application. Then, your exact postition will be shown on the google map.
Be carefull: gps does not work inside of buildings.
So I need to install google maps on the HD?

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.

Its a modified version of google maps and Navigation that works outside of U.S. I use it all the time here in Australia. Perfect !!
Not available in the market, but you can find it here.

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).
is there anyway or anywhere to get google maps on the shift without the latitude app? i just hate seeing it in my app list! i never use it and i don't see available to freeze in titanium. is it just part of maps?
Yeah latitude, places, and navigation are all part of maps.
Ok. My problem is that while trying to upgrade to a newer version of Google Maps (5.6), I had to uninstall my older version (5.2) using Titanium Backup app. But I did not know that removing Google Maps would also remove Navigation, Places & Latitude. Now all of them are gone from my phone and the new package of Google Maps (version 5.6, size 6.39MB) is also NOT INSTALLING on the phone! So what is the remedy left now? Can I download Google Maps from the Market to install it on my phone?
You should be able to just dl maps from the market to get everything back, and I'm pretty sure if u try to get rid of latitude ,or any of the others, google maps just keeps force closing

h well it doesn't, apps haven't started to filter in to Win 8 yet given its a beta still, but I suspect once we start hitting the RCs we will see the app store getting larger with such apps, just now you need to remember that there are not many Win 7 tablets with GPS so demand is not high for your needs just yet.
Try using google earth - it works with GPS
I know this is a stretch but why not use the metro bing maps app. It does support location services.

If sign into latitude, will locate you
Is there any way to start copilot or Tom Tom instead of Google navigation when use Google map?
I don't think so. I can't see anyway you could do that.
I remember few years ago there was a button you could just click and run any navi app installed. Weird. It is almost like an apple now- forcing to use Google everywhere.
