When using Google Maps, sometimes I can get Traffic info & sometimes I cannot get Traffic info. When its working, in Google Maps, I do: Menu; Map mode; Traffic. I can then see the Traffic info on the map. If I then do Menu; Map mode again, I can see the green check mark next to Traffic. When its not working, when I go back to Map Mode the 2nd time, the green check mark is still on Map. It is not on Traffic.

Google Map's traffic layer is working for my area on my G1. Really, really convenient to see how fast traffic is moving at a glance from my phone!
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a Motorola Droid 2. Is there is way in Google Maps to quickly toggle traffic on and off? And a quick way to clear the map?
On my old Palm I could just hit # to toggle traffic on and off. But on the Droid I have to hit Menu, then layers, then traffic. The same to clear the map. Even opening the keyboard on the Droid2 and hitting alt # does not work.
How come the i/phone has Google maps that show traffic (red/orange/green) But on the Droid 4, the standard google maps app does not have this traffic (sigalert) capability? Is it restricted to iphones only? I believe it is the same Google Maps app.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am running a MT3G with Cyanogen's mod. I love it...the performance is good, the options are great. It's like having a Linux computer in my pocket (that's actually exactly what it is). The one consistent problem I am having is with the traffic layer in Google Maps. I can enable it and it shows the traffic information just fine. After a few seconds, however, I get a message that says, "low on memory, traffic has been turned off". If I leave GMaps and open another app that I used called TaskPanel, it tells me I have 30+ MB of available memory. I'm not sure what's going on. Any ideas? I have Googled the issue and seen a number of other people having the same problem, but I haven't found a fix yet.

Since the Droid has the ability to do live traffic in the map layer...does anyone know if it takes this information into account when calculating the directions.
View 13 Replies View RelatedDoes the Google Navigation program take traffic conditions into consideration when calculating the route?In other words, if I can get to my destination in 20 mins via Hwy A and 25 mins via Hwy B, but Hwy has an accident, will it route me to Hwy B instead?If so, how accurate/real time are the traffic conditions?I have Garmin on Windows Mobile now and find that it's saved me a few times by giving me a route that it wouldn't otherwise give me if the primary route wasn't backed up.

I use the Google Play Music App 4.4.811H.526848 and it works great. But now I tested the traffic the app uses when streaming music, because I wondered that I have higher traffic than expected. I have caching activated. When I put only one song in playlist and stream it, the app uses 14-40 mb traffic for a song with about 2-7 mb!
View 1 Replies View RelatedHas anyone else noticed how disgustingly accurate/sweet the Google Maps Traffic Layer is?I put it on my dash and when it's green, the highway is at least 50 mph +..I noticed that the second my gps triangle entered the orange/yellow, it slowed down to about 25 mph..Immediately after leaving the yellow, it went back up to 50+..Everyday before I leave work, with a swype and a click, I know whether or not I should be getting on the highway or not. Right now it's red - I'll be taking the lake home today.Holy crud muffin I love this thing.

View 9 Replies View RelatedIs Google Latitude available in the UK or not, because it doesn't seem to be working for me? I have received the RC9 update for G1 and have Google Maps 3.0. Is there an a Google Latitude application that I should have or do I access everything through Google Maps? When I go the www.google.com/latitude on my G1, it offers me the option of "launching" Latitude but it just takes me to Google Maps. From there, I cannot see the locations of my Google "friends" (who have agreed to show location), neither does my own location show up on the Latitude homepage on the web (I have settings turned to "detect my location automatically").

I'm using the latest version of Google Maps on JB 4.2.2 [Nexus 4]..I noticed that I cannot edit the names of my locations in "My Places" in the phone app. So I used Google Bookmarks (google.com/bookmarks) from my PC to edit/rename My Places. However, the names do not sync or carry through to the Google Maps app on the phone. The names in the app are still the generic names, coordinates or street names.
Is there any way to change the names of My Places and get them to sync with the phone app? Really baffling!
I'm searching for an app or mod to google maps that allow to view maps (satellite view) offline

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have several Android devices and each of them has different version of Google Maps: 3.0 in HTC G1, 3.1.1 in HTC Dream and 3.4 in Nexus one and Motorola Droid. When i use the following code: Intent myIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,Uri.parse("geo:0,0? q=Starbucks"); I get different behavior on the devices: On the latest versions of Google Maps application I see a map the term centered around my current location with a reasonable zoom radius while in Google Maps 3.0 I see list of results and button to the map. Is there a way to get the same behavior on all devices? of course i prefer the behavior of the latest versions

I am a new user of google maps API in android OS. I have made a small application in which i am using google maps. I want to add a functionality that when i double click (multi touch) on a map the map should zoom in. IS there anybody who has an idea how to do this or if it is possible please provid a code example.
View 1 Replies View RelatedCan somebody please explain this to me. I have been looking through a number of forums relating to Android with maps (google). It costs money to use maps with tmobile as a data connection is required. That's fair enough. But some people say GPS is free (albeit heavy on the phone battery). What use is GPS without some form of maps?

View 2 Replies View RelatedGoogle maps api is great for developing location based services for mobile phones. But for some reason the use of it is restricted for me in a special project.E.g. if your project is in conflict with the general terms and conditions of google it is not recommended to use google maps API.In my app (android, iOS) i want to display a location on a map by retrieving gps information. Overall the api should offer a similar scope of operation like google maps API.Which alternatives do you know? Maybe there are open source api's?

Unfortunately, I get a SecurityException :'(. Can someone tell me which permission I should ask ?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'd like to show you off-road GPS navigator utility, created for active people. I like no-map Garmin GPS handy navigators, so I created software, that has most functions of such navigator. TripComputer records tracks of your trips and stores your interesting waypoints. You can view them on map view, see stats like distances, speed, time, altitute graph, bearing, azimuth, and many more. Also, if you have internet connection, you can send your selected waypoints and find waypoints sent by others,to use in you own trips.
At this time, TripComputer does not use maps - because in off-road areas, maps are useless. However, topo maps will be supported in future versions. Also, I'm working on GPX files and some geocaching support.
looks like it has pinch to zoom multitouch which is fantastic..might have nightmode we have been hearing about. still playing with it
