Like most GPS systems out there, I would love to be able to turn the map automatically so it faces the same direction I am driving, not just always north. Possible?
Nobody? Please...

Im not sure if its limitation of google maps on android or samsungs. It has all the hardware for it, so should be possible...
It does doesn't it? You changed the view mode? Press the icon in the bottom left of your screen....

the build in google map is just like your web browser google map, it is static
if you want a navigation style / step by step
you will need to get CoPilot8 software for android
Install the google maps navigation beta if its not already in your phone. I thought it was on the galaxy by default. That will give u the sat nav view.

Well if you are using it for driving purposes why not use the navigation addon? Otherwise you've had it I think.

Well in that case I think the simple google maps app with the arrow showing which way you're going would be fine.
But yea, if you're driving you might have to invest in a real gps solution like AllGamer suggested.
when i'm walking, i use the regular google map, it is sooooooooooo much faster than a full fledge GPS software suit to load and link up with Satellites.
I don't see it mentioned on any of the preorder sites, but it's listed in the detail specs on Motorola's website.

Not if you have a sat nav app with preloaded maps...
This GPS talk is one of the reasons I went with the 3G/4G version. It is nice to be able to get mapping, restaurant locations, gas stations, hospitals, and all the other on the fly data. Not to say you can't download a map its just nice not having too. Its just at your finger tips. None of this has anything to do with the OP question so sorry OP..
any good ones to recommend? i cant find any maybe im using wrong keywords or im just bad at searching.......
You can pre-cache maps in Google Maps. Just make your route while you are connected to wifi and it will save it. It stays in the cache for a long time as far as i can tell.

I use google nav on xoom....which I find to be much better than using tomtom on my iphone...although tomtom was more customisable and worked seamlessly with any music app which is the only thing I miss.....but here is a site i found helpful....breaks down all your options with pros and cons....I'm guessing tomtom/I go/garmin don't want to fuss with making an overpriced turn by turn navigation app for us android users when we get a pretty damb good one for free....

My plan is to use the mobile hotspot feature on the wife's android phone for the data connection.

That works great until the wife wants to make a phone call..
I get your point though. To each their own. It makes sense..

Well of course I'm talking from my own experience. The EVO I believe can only do data or voice not both at the same time unless I'm connected to 4G.

thats because of CDMA limitations. GSM networks do data+voice simultaneously.
Wifi From Wife's Phone
@wildfan2k
Make sure your wife's phone supports infrastructure mode or is a Droid. Xoom does not like to tether with most Rooted Wifi options. Droid on the other hand can offer bluetooth tethering that Xoom does recognize.
Google navigation works awesome!

Thanks man but come on give me a little credit.
Just wanted to make sure....the new motorola wifi xoom will have gps? And if I tether from my nexus one, will the voice guided navigation work?
Try Copilot from ALK
Has anyone else been having the problem the stock GPS on the Evo. Every time I begin to use it it continues to act like I am a frist time user. Any suggestions on what is going on with it and how to fix up? Thanks for the time.
Sorry, and I also mean since the new upgrade has come out
I never had a problem with my GPS, stock or not. Why are you using Sprints GPS? Google Maps Navigation is great and free.

+1. I doubt you'll have issues if you just use Google maps. I always prefer the route maps takes too, as well as it being easier to interface with.
But to your question, most people probably don't even have nav installed anymore to even know.

In an effort to move attention from the ICS thing that people are getting annoyed about, I just want to draw attention to Gamekeyboard by LocNet (I know theres a thread about it on Themes and Apps but im not certain how many people venture there).
Its the most amazing thing Ive ever used on the Play. For those of you that dont know about it, it allows you to optimize any game for the Play controls. Take X-Men Arcade for example, or the first 3 Zenonia games. It acts as its own seperate keyboard however so you need to dedicate a hardware button to switch between the gamekeyboard and its own in-built texting keyboard (not as intrusive as it sounds)
Accelerometer games can be changed to work with the D-pad as well So any racing game that isnt Play optimized will now work with the gamepad.
Best of all, its cheap...VERY cheap
I know I cant get people to part with their money but any Play gamer worth their weight in salt NEEDS this.
If anyone who uses this has some good configuration files for certain games, feel free to upload them (.gkp file can be renamed for ease of use...like xmenarcade.gkp)
probably gonna have to dropbox them though
There are a couple of threads trying to get people away from ICS. Obviously no one cares about these threads. They want ICS. This doesn't effect anything.

I couldnt get it to work on them due to the O button acting like the back key. If you want to use it (I highly recommend it) then flash down to Gingerbread
How can i create a map?
(F U C K S O N Y)
I bought it for 5min ago its to complicated to me xD

how to do that? couldnt find an option for it
Can someone try this circle button fix on cm9/playosp/aokplay and then tell me if this will work? Also, will this allow touchpads to work too?

Was wondering why new versions of GameKeyboard weren't working properly in DosBox Turbo.
This is not cool.

What? That sucks! He made AnDosBox so he makes his keyboard not work in other Dosbox apps?! WTF!
Does the analog pads work yet?

This is so not cool! I previously emailed the author about Gamekeyboard not working in the other Dos Emulator, and he was adamant that the problem was in the other dos emulator and not his app. Very sneaky behavior if you ask me.
I have a problem with GameKeyboard 2.1.1... I waited for this kind of app to android for a long time, and now i am really close.... But the thing is... I can use the directional pad OK in PES 2012, but I can´t make work the buttons A, B, X and Y. I Tried Button Mappings but it doesn´t have any effect. Could someone tell me why ... has a solution or maybe a tutorial to indicate me....
Sorry for my poor english.
Thanks for the atention.

Try looking for a premade set up. The are in .gkp format I think (check my first post). There are a few custom setups floating around on the internet

Guys I'm hoping someone can explain the following.....
I was looking for a simple RSS reader, I'm sat next to my mate, he's got a gnex too and suggests greader by Google inc, I can see it on his phone and in his market.
I've searched my play store and have a greader app but it's by noinnion even though the asp looks similar to the ogival Google product
Either way I cannot see the original Google version of the reader and he can? Why is this?
Were both in the same geographical area, same os version build, bought them from the same place and have the same regional settings etc but I get totally dif search results
Wtf?!
