Jul 27, 2010It did not download on my new Vibrant phone and it did not come with the update. I had it on my G1 and I want it on this phone. Where or how can I get it?

View 2 RepliesA client of mine also has an Eris and I was helping her get her navigation system set up and teach her how to use it. I wanted to put the google navigator icon (the blue arrow) on her home screen but could not find it anywhere in her apps. I did find the google navigation (map icon) app and set that up for her. So, my questions are: What is the difference between the two? How come I couldn't find the navigator app on her phone (on mine, it's under "programs")?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a Droid Eris running OTA 2.1. I just tried using Google Navigator for the first time this morning. When I ran it it led me to install the text to speech app. Unfortunately, I had my SD card mounted (for music in my car) at the time and the install failed. I dropped out, un-mounted the card, manually installed the app, and re-started Google Nav. I have no sound in it at all now. It is not muted, and the nav volume is at max. I have heard it work on my wife's phone. The nav software was my main reason for getting an Android phone. Does anyone have any suggestions or am I going to have to factory reset?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an android application which allows the user to open up google maps or navigator to show a certain address. This functionality was working in the past, but now I get the following error and the app crashes:
ERROR/AndroidRuntime(2165):
android.content.ActivityNotFoundException:
No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW
dat=google.navigation:q=MCNAMARA+TERMINAL+ROMULUS+MI+48174 }
The two intents I'm using are-
1) For Map:
String uri = "geo:0,0?q=MCNAMARA+TERMINAL+ROMULUS+MI+48174";
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(uri));
startActivity(i);
2) For Navigator:
String uri = "google.navigation:q=MCNAMARA+TERMINAL+ROMULUS+MI+48174";
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(uri));
startActivity(i);
I had to do a factory reset on my Incredible. I went to download Google Navigator again but couldn't find it on the marketplace. Is it still available?

It seemed to go smooth enough but as the post title suggests my Google Navigation crashes back to the boot screen whenever I try and use the app.

View 20 Replies View RelatedI did some testing with the Navigator yesterday and I have to say it's absolutely awesome. I'm not sure if anyone has posted this, couldn't find any mention of it, but I want to share my battery usage experience with it as well as some other cool things I noticed.
Very cool battery saver:
I used it for a 15-minute drive, keeping it only in the Notification Bar. When you are in the Navigation app, you can press the Home softkey to go back to your home screen. This keeps Navigator working in the background, but it is not drawing the maps and using the screen. You can press the Power button to put your phone to sleep, and the voice actually still talks to you and tells you when to turn. And even better, I started this trip with 76% battery and ended with 76% battery.
Now, the not-so-cool.
I used it for a 30-minute drive, keeping the screen on and letting it show me the map the entire way. I started the drive with 54% battery ended with 34% battery. So definitely keep it on the charger if you are using it for a long drive. But another awesome thing I noticed. I made a phone call toward the end of my destination, just to see what would happen. I used the Home key to back out of the Navigator (but keeping it in the background, as I said above), then made my call as normal. The Navigator still gave me directions while I was on the phone. It came through the earpiece now, so the other person doesn't hear it. How freaking cool is that?
Get taker beta download / apk. Want to give it a try.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAm I doing something wrong? If I am using Google Maps/Navigator - happily following along as my car wends it's way down the street and I have to exit to say, answer a phone call, look at another app. when I go back into Navigator my destination info is gone. I have to re-enter my destination.

View 8 Replies View RelatedJust got back from a 500 mile road trip. I was using the Droid X car dock and Google Navigator. I noticed that about after 15 minutes the phone would no longer be actively charging (the lightning bolt icon in the battery was not displaying). Within two hours the battery was depleted. I know Navigator is still in beta.

View 3 Replies View RelatedEveryone this new email app for Android from Seven that's still in BETA.
It gives you PUSH mail for all the common types of email such as Yahoo, Hotmail, Google and more!
It gives me PUSH mail for my hotmail and keeps all my folders in sync and you don't need hotmail Exchange ActiveSync for it to push!
If like me you require better than pop3 then why don't you give it a try and see what you think.
I have put a link to the website & another link direct to the registration page below.
You need to create an account to be able to download the app direct from them.
When you get to the download page and it asks for your device select OTHER then ANDROID
I'm sure there will be some people who will be very exicted by this app, particularly Hotmail & Live users

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a Droid X with Verizon. If I enable the GPS and use GPS enabled apps, such as Google Maps, etc., am I charged by Verizon for this? Or is the Verizon Navigator the only GPS app that Verizon charges for? (i.e. does Verizon charge for the use of the GPS across the board, or only for the use of their GPS app?)

View 5 Replies View RelatedAnyone know if there's a way to explicitly have the google maps app download some maps?
I'm about to go on a trip where I suspect I'll either be out of cell phone range, or be on roaming data ($$$). I'd rather just turn off the cellular radio, and have google maps up with the GPS, but not sure how possible it is.

does not go bad just that the web browser is closed every few minutes when I open pages with Flash content.Keep a android 4.0.1 I tried with several browsers, dolphin, Firefox ... all the same when I open a page with flash, hangs and then displays the application has stopped working and closes
Uninstall the Flash plugin installed by default leading (v11) factory reset the pileup erasing all.Do not look any hardware problem, it's actually quite powerful and the websites should move smoothly.
Does anyone know can you download Maps into Google Nav? The reason I ask is that if you take a wrong turn it takes for ever to download the new route. Does anyone know a way around this or if you can download a full map?

I've been around with the developer and google checkout and no one seems to have the answer. The developer canceled the purchase but Market still lists it as a purchased app. So I can't re-download it.
