Google map navigation

I have HTC Legend and I installed Maps 4.6 on it. I'd like to use google navigation but i don't know if i need to install it or it is included in maps....

Once installed the application, it downloads the maps as needed, using any kind of internet connection, you don't have to worry about the maps, just be sure you are connected someway.
As far as I know, navigation is not available everywhere, and Google is offering it in just some countries, if this is your case, you can search the forum for "brut mod", that is a modification of the Google nav application so can be use everywhere. It also caches the maps in the device so you use less of your internet allowance.
Hope I was useful.
Cheers

Navigation App for S4

Hi. I had installed Jelly2.1 ROM and I noticed that I am missing the Navigation App?
I tried looking for it in Google Play but can't seem to find it.
Where can I download the apk?
Thanks a lot.

I believe it is installed with Google maps. I thought I have installed it directly from play store. When I read the description for Maps it lists turn by turn navigation.
So try the Maps app it should install maps, navigation, and local.
Sent from my awesome AT&T SAMSUNG GALAXY S4 SGH-I337 using xda developers app.

Navigation is a part of Maps. They're a package deal. Do you have Google Maps installed?

I had uninstalled Google Maps and re-installed it and it is back. thanks a lot for the replies.

[Q] can't change default navigation app after ver 7.0 maps update

I recently wiped my phone to update to MK2. I noticed that there is no way to set the default navigation app anymore. When I click the "get directions" link from a web browser it takes me right to Google Maps - even if I uninstall and freeze Maps (I'm rooted) it will take me to the Play Store and tell me to install it.
Previously I was able to set my default navigation app to ALK Copilot but it appears that after the awful update to Maps 7.0, which is what prompted me to switch to a paid app there is no way to change it. Before I used to get a popup that would ask which app I want to use and I could pick and even set one as a default, but not anymore. I tried resetting the defaults from app manager but it says Maps doesn't have any defaults set. I even cleared every default on my device...still nothing.
Is there a way to have my phone go to my navigation app of choice rather than Google Maps when I select "get directions" anymore?

ditto
Anyone? I am using a no-data plan so need offline navigation and would love to change the default nav app.

since I'm rooted, I just froze Maps. Then when I selected an address in the browser it asked me which default app I want to use. I think there's also a way to clear it from the "default apps" screen, but it's not called "Maps"...it's something else and I can't remember which one it is.
I've been using ALK Co Pilot which has 100% offline maps and like it WAY more than Maps. It has different "oddball" issues than Maps (for example, Maps would constantly put me on toll roads and carpool lanes even when i told it to avoid them...and you can't permanently set "avoid toll roads" while Co Pilot sometimes doesn't show toll roads and carpool lanes at all...which is still odd, but better).

HIZPO Allwinner QUAD-CORE T3 p3 Android 6 Google Apps crashing, Android 7 update?

Hi,
I have one of these http://r.ebay.com/mfgqMf running Android 6.0.1, which has been working fine for about a year. Now there have been some updates to Google Maps, Chrome, Play Store and Play Services, they are not running. Maps opens and closes again, Play Store and Chrome does the same, and Play Services crashes randomly. I contacted the seller to try and get an update to Android 7, and although they shared the update with me, it was corrupt and they recommended to not update the unit anyway.
Has anyone either updated their unit to 7, or found a way to stop the Google apps from crashing? I have managed to prevent Maps and Chrome from updating, but I can't stop Play Store or Play Services updating.
Thanks....

Hi,
No I still haven't got to the cause of the issue. I contacted the ebay seller, who sent me an update file for the unit. It seemed to be corrupt every time they tried to send it, so after trying a repair, it would not install.

Same problem, Allwinner QUAD CORE T3 P3 device, running android 6.0.1, can't open neither Google Play or Google Maps.
Temporary yet annoying solution is to disable app (which restores it to factory version) and enable it again. This helps until it updates again.
The Google Play updates on its own, so you can't control that, but at least google maps will work if you disable auto update.

I have same issue. Temp fix is disabling/uninstalling Google app (not Google play)
EDIT: Set system time for updating from internet, not GPS data. This fixed all issues for me. Google Assistant working as well

Problem waze + google maps in android car app

Hi,
I have a problem that Waze doesn't work when I have google maps installed. (On the display of my car in the Android car app.)
When on my 6T phone I want to navigate the android car and I have installed both Waze and Google maps, there is no navigation and there is a black display in the car. When I uninstall waze, google maps work perfectly.
I have all the apps updated.
I'd like to use waze but it just doesn't work. And uninstalling google maps makes me stupid.
I have had this problem for a long time and all applications have been updated several times. I system my 6T.
Sorry my google English.
