Widget to display map/current location? - Android Head-Units

I'd like to show a map (split screen style) with my current location on the home page, but all of the launchers that let me do this are pretty terrible. I'm trying to build something myself w/ Nova.
Any ideas on how I can get a good map widget, ideally using Google Maps since my HU is rarely ever online. The Google Maps "Nearby Traffic" widget doesn't appear in my list.

Weather widget

Is it just my phone?
I guess with this weather widget we can add locations of where we want to know the weather.
Anyway when I search I would like to add the weather for Monterey Ca. and all I get is Monterey Mexico, WTF is the matter with this thing? Am I missing something?
Not every location on earth is in the pick list. You can try Salinas or some other place close by.
Funny that Salinas is there, but I don't want Salinas even tho they are close to each other, the weather is way different.
This program needs work, even if it cannot find it, I should be able to add that location to favorites or something, but thats not an option.
I will have to get the weather channel program.
Not sure if this what you're asking for but you can choose to display your current location by removing the clock widget and re-adding, it will ask which location to use. Choose current location.
Current location is not the problem, I like to know weather conditions of places that I'm going.
I use to use The weather channel app for this on my old phone, so this one had the weather I wanted to know about having the same features, but it does not.
I think I am going to download the weather channel and just run it when I need to know the weather of where I'm going.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Ok, ya I know what you mean. The locations are definitely limited.
You can download the Weather Channel app. It has a widget you can use instead of the HTC one.

Can not find app related to Google Latitute to uninstall it

I've been searching all around the phone, but i was unable to find the app associated with Google Latitute
i'm not using it, so i'll rather uninstall it to free up some space, but i can't find to figure out which one is the actual file that needs to be uninstalled in Titatium Backup
I am 99% sure that that's just Google Maps. Maps has several icons in the app drawer that are shortcuts to different parts.
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App
True. The icons are shortcuts for the different sections of google maps. Depending of the launcher, you can hide the icons like when using LauncherPro.
Pretty certain it's just an option of Google Maps too. Go in to maps, click little 'page like' icon in bottom left, which should bring up Latitude, now bottom left hard key and select Privacy - should be the option to 'Sign out of Latitude'.

Problem with Google search widget

Hey everyone so I just got my one plus 2, its on oxygen os 2.1.0. When I try and add the Google search widget it doesn't show on my screen but if I tap and hold where the widget should be, I get an option to delete the widget. More puzzling is if I tap on the recent apps button I can see the Google search widget. Anyone know what the issue could be?
Very strange. What launcher are you using with your Google widget?
I'm on 2.1 OS and Nova Launcher with no issue.

Google App shortcut

Google app built in shortcuts to peaches like weather, sports, dining and entertainment
These shortcuts work on my other phone S8 and I can pin them to the homescreen but for some reason it just won't work on the G6 Oreo :/...
Is it working for anyone else? If so how did you get the sports one pinned

Widget applications

Hello,
I'm looking for some kind of application with which you can drag and drop the widget on the home screen of nova launcher and that widget would be some kind of screen with which you can see the map of waze or google maps. Something like android auto has.
I'm also looking for different radio application that could have widgets on home screen for changing the stations. Or if not widget then different radio application for my Junsun V1 android head unit.
And some kind of bluetooth application with which you can change songs on your phone trough widget.
