Just recently my google maps is working. The minute I tap on it, it turns off. Could this be from a google maps update? Can someone help me with this please? I tried rebooting it but it still hasn't worked.

try wiping the cache/dalvic cache from recovery. it might work. you can also go to apps find google maps and uninstall updates/clear data/cache to see to see if this help.
I had to revert back to maps that came with the phone. Don't know which update was making it do that so its working now. Thanks for your help. But I was also wondering what this star was on top of my screen. Didn't know if it had something to do with maps or not. Does anyone know what this is? I've attached it.

This star has nothing to do with the maps or other application.
It's about sound profile and probably you had put your device in silent mode.
Its actually annoying not knowing exactly what it is so I want it gone from up there lol. So I'm trying to figure out how to remove it. My phone's sound is on so I don't know why it would be there if its pertaining to sound.

Hey everyone,
I have a problem running google maps, it installs fine but everytime i want to run it an error pops up saying that it isn't signed or that a component might be missing. The strange thing is that it was working before when i got the device and installed it and after a hard reset it doesn't anymore. It kinds of bugs me because i use it quite often!
if anyone is able to help me please don't hesitate!
Thanks!

with your mobile, go to http://mobile.htc.com/uk/01_applications.html and download it from there. then it will work again. before doing this, uninstall the installed version.
Thanks, it worked!
Got my google Maps back up and running.
Cheers

I just did the update and now the Maps search Touchflo 2D menu option does nothing. Maps itself is fine. Any ideas how to get the search option to launch Maps again?
Tried soft reset already?

Try installing Google maps to the internal storage, should work then.
However, does anyone know if there's a way to make location tab work even with google maps installed on the card?

Doh! Thanks for that, it works from main memory. It would be nice to have the option to run from card though.

Hi there. The unit I got in Malaysia doesn't come with google maps. The icon on the touchflo is missing. Where would I start if I want this application? Thanks.

True. Sophisticated Google maps capabilities do not work in some locations, Malaysia included. You may need to use M2DC to enable the "Location" tab in TF. See here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427392

Firmware 2.1-update1
Kernel 2.3.29
Phone is rooted
I haven't tried to use Google Maps since I rooted, until now. After I rooted and got rid of a bunch of bloatware, I did screw up and disabled a few apps I shouldn't have messed with. A few of them were things such as Google Talk and some other things......that I 'thought' were useless, but found out quickly I couldn't even DL apps from the Market without some of them.
I got that straight, and now I have found the only thing that doesn't work is nav. I can enter the address, and the driving directions come up in text. I can also see an overall map, with the directions outlined. When I click to change teh screen to navigation mode.....it gets stuck on "getting driving directions".
I've done a little research and tried a few things. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Google Maps, I have tried GPS Booster (tried the lite version for free), and GPS Booster failed, I have made sure all of my settings were correct for GPS......
When I first open Maps, where it gives your GPS location.....the pinpointed area it shows me in is about 0.75-1.0 miles away from where I actually am. So I am wondering if it isn't going off my phone position itself, instead of GPS.....
Anyone have any tips or things to try? I am out of things I have found to do.....
you could always just odin back to stock, then re-root, and see if that does the trick.
Download Gps Test from the market, enable VZW and Google location services, turn on GPS and run Gps test. If you able to get a lock with that Nav should get a lock as well.
If it still hangs on "getting driving directions" youve prob got app problems.
I don't think there's anything wrong with the app - pretty sure it just says "getting driving directions" until it gets a GPS lock, so make sure you're locked in the GPS Status app before trying the navigation.

Downloaded two different free GPS testers.....neither will lock a location.

Ya....
I'd also like to also reiterate that after I rooted and deleted a bunch of bloatware, I did accidentally deactivate several things. I didn't actually delete ANYTHING, I simply renamed the extensions of everything from ".apk" to ".bak". Are there any critical apps I could have killed that aren't blatantly obvious by their names? I think I have all the Google stuff, and any of the voice things returned to normal. In fact I had to do that just to get the market to work....
Here are apps I have disabled:
BluetoothOPP
CarHome
CityID_1.0.27_vzn.sch.i500_12118_release
DeskHome
Dlna
Final_Schi500_3.9.3.3_07262010
I500_MyVerizon_05202010
InfoAlarm
MobileAP
MobileClientUpdate
TtsService
vnav_4.7.0.258_i500_rel_PROD-signed
Update:
I changed the last app I listed above back to .apk, and noticed that there were some changes for the better.
vnav_4.7.0.258_i500_rel_PROD-signed
When I opened Maps, I pulled up the directions like normal.....then switched it to navigate on the map. What I noticed was that the map showed up in the background.....and it was actually plotted my exact location. The map was still grayed out, and it still shows "getting driving directions".
I also ran GPS tester.....and it now shows lots of info on the display, but I am still trying to figure out how the fark to work it.
Ok, GPS tester plots within 20 feet of me.......but I can't get Maps to get into Nav mode still.
ttt
Anyone?
Anyone?
Tts is text to speach.. you need that for spoken directions.
Just a thought, but why not change all of the not so obvious ones back to apk's, and just see what happens.

I was hoping to avoid reloading to stock, especially since this app worked fine since rooting.
For the past 2 or 3 days, my navigation has not been working at all. It will not load anything. Google Maps is giving me the same issue whenever I do a search. Any address I type in, whether it's my current location or another starting point gives me no results.
I've attached screenshots of what's happening. My brother also has an S4 and is having the same exact problem. Does this have to do with the UI update?

Ok question.... did you guys sideload the new maps or did you do it the legit way and wait for Google Play to tell you that you have an update for Maps??
Google maps regularly closes during navigation, it's not a force close, it just disappears. I have made sure it's protected, I have tried clearing data and cache of Google maps. The version is 9.16.2. I'm on B200, on the GRA-L09.
Does this happen to anyone else?

I have this problem too (i'm on b200). Maps doesn't appear in the protected app list.
Note that similar issues occurred for background apps (wallpaper auto changer, calendar widget, etc.) and i've fixed them using performance mode in power saving settings instead of smart/intelligent.
MapsD (NimaGL2 Default Edition).apk
I am on b200 aswell and gad the same problem.
I need maps and google navigation at work so this wasnt acceptable for me.
I rooted my mobile and deinstalleted google maps completly.
Then iinstalled maps in the version 6.14 ,which I prefer much more.
I installes by this app ( MapsD (NimaGL2 Default Edition).apk ).
Since then no crash or closing anymore

I have flashed the fromfuture but haven't had the opportunity to test the navigation properly yet. I will report back. If it doesn't help I will try the solution suggested above.
I still have the same problem with the fromfuture rom. Not really sure what to do, I may have to roll back to an earlier rom and just live with that.

Hi, I have solved this problem turning on the gps... With B200
Can someone please install HERE WeGo app?
Mine is always force closing after trying to log in. Also navigation does not work, app force closes...
I've cleared data and cache and also reinstalled it many times without success.
Yea I had to uninstall the app yesterday after sending a crash report. I'll install it some other time whenever it's fixed!

Google Maps support voice navigation. I'm not sure if it is better or worse than other apps, but it is there.
Same here, fortunately I have bought Sygic in 2014
Oh wonder....
Here was answering on the App-Feedback after the app force closed:
"Thank you for reaching out, we are sorry to hear that you had problems with HERE Maps. We are aware of the issue you are describing and our developers are already looking into it. We will get back to you in case we have some further questions on your case."
Then we have to wait......

Hi Schickel,
I have (had) the same issue, and it finally works now, I installed a bunch of different navigation apps to try them , downloaded their maps to finally think about just fully restart my phone and HERE worked!!
I don't know what is the exact reason that made Here WeGo to fully (navigation, sign in and map downloads) work again but here is my guess to maybe help you.
Force HERE WeGo to stop
Delete cache
Delete files
Uninstall HERE WeGo
Restart the Xperia XZ Premium
Install HERE WeGo and don't start the app
Go to
Settings >Storage & memory>Advanced>Keep Cache
Select HERE WeGo
Close everything
Restart phone
Start Here WeGo
It worked for me and I'm happy to use my favorite Navigation App again, hope it will work for you also.
Cheers.

Thank you for the hint.
I'm happy that you can now use HERE.
But for me your hints are not working. After fill in my credentials for my HERE account the app force closes again.
So my hope is that HERE will fix this problem in the near future.

Sorry to read that
here are more "hints" about how i was using my phone before it worked
it was only the 4th or 5th full phone restart since i bought it ( i rarely reboot)
HERE worked again "after" installing different navigation apps, don't know if that did something (it will be weird), but i will uninstall them one by one and get back to you if HERE crashes again or not.
When HERE worked, i start the app by hazard just to test it again, it was a fresh install, wasn't signed in and no map downloaded, i went straight to navigation and it was my surprise to see that screen scrolling without crash, i tried a route and it worked, i was outside and not connected to any wifi antenna.
i then signed in without problem, and downloaded a map.
I remember also that after fresh HERE installation and before first launch, i went to app settings to manually authorize HERE to access Position and Storage.

I've tested around many options with different navi apps. And nothing helps.
Now I'm back back to Navigon. It also uses maps from HERE and it have one good feature what HERE not have: planning a route with layovers.
EDIT:
Now I've got the firmware upgrade to 45.0.A.5.1. But this also doesn't fix my problem.
I give it up for now

So I try out older versions and they are working normally.
