Got a replacement Droid Incredible the other day and I've been working on getting it set up like my previous phone, with the exception of random restarts.Anyway, I updated Google Maps and for some reason I'm not getting the Navigation app icon like I used to.

Ex IPhone user had one since the first one, but was waiting for Android to get better and now it has! Anyhow has anyone know why I have not program icon for navigation, the only way I get it is to search for it.

View 1 Replies View RelatedOn my Samsung Galaxy S3, a peculiar icon has appeared in the navigation bar (see the top-left corner in the image below):
It seemed to have appeared at about the time I put in my SD card, but removing my SD card (and restarting) has not shooed the icon away. Furthermore, the icon seems to prevent any other icons being shown (i.e. I am forced to pull down the bar when checking for new notifications).
There is no explanation for the icon in the notification window, and clearing the notifications does nothing.
I tried using Google Goggles on a cropped screenshot of the icon but no images were returned. what the icon represents and how it may be removed?
Can anyone confirm if Google Navigation can be used to just show your progress/location on a road while driving, without having to have an actual destination input?I know this was shown on a few of Rob's videos as not being possible, but just wanted to confirm if anyone had any further info on it.

I don't get it.

So I got my Hero a couple weeks back, and love it.I use the Sprint navigation pretty dang frequently, but it's really not the best. I know it's a phone and not a GPS, but is there anything better out there? I purchased Copilot, which is alright, but there are a LOT of stuff/addresses it can't find even with the updated maps.So just pretending price doesn't matter for now, what's the best possible GPS for my Android?
View 18 Replies View RelatedIve just come accross this app and constantly checking how it works and looking for solutions. So if you want to have as little problems as possible read first, then do stuff.Not so long time ago, iGo released their navigation for Android phones. It is a traditional navigation, in which you don't need data connection for downloading maps - they are already on your microSD card This is 10 times better than Google Navigation. I had tested the google nav yesterday on my way back home - the voice commands about an upcoming turn are said once you have passed that turn.. This means you have to be constantly looking on your phone. And with iGo it's a totally different story. It works just like a proper navigation (like TomTom, Garmin, etc.).So lets begin with the step-by-step manual of how to become a happy user of iGO navigation on your Android phone (this works also for other phones, not just HTC Legend).
1) Download the latest version of iGO for Android to your PC - http://www.fileserve.com/file/dpbJy95
2) How to install the app - from Android Market download "Apps Installer". Connect phone to your PC in "Disk Drive" mode and then unzip the iGOMyWay_8.4.2.139242_JMX.zip file into your phone memory card. Dont put it any different folder, keep it in the main directory. Disconnect phone from PC. On your phone, go to Settings->Applications->Put a tick on the "Unknown sources". This will allow to install apps that are not from andoird market. Open Apps Installer and then instal the iGO app.
3) If you need maps for your location - just look in some torrent sites for 'igo maps'. For example try Pirate Bay - The Pirate Bay - The world's most resilient bittorrent site . It is important that you download the R3 version of maps and not R1, as the R1 are for older iGo software versions.
3.1) Once you have maps downloaded to your pc, once again connect your phone to pc and copy maps .fbl files to igocontentmaps and the .poi files to igocontentpoi.
3.2) From my personal experience, you can run maps on iGO from 3 companies - TeleAtlas, TopMap, Navteq. The coverage of each map provider is different depending on country. There is no "the best map company with 100% coverage everywhere". If you need maps for multiple countries, please check the coverage of each provider and choose the one that fits your needs the best. I personally used all these providers for different countries (Lithuania/Latvia/Estonia) and at first all looked good.... But today some maps just dont seam to work. Have sent a email to iGO support team. Will keep u up to date with this issue.
4) If you need speedcamera warnings - check them here - POIplaza - Free Points of Interests (POI) for iGO, Garmin, Sygic, TomTom and other popular navigation systems. Its the best place to find ANY kind of POI in your region.
4.1)Quick manual how to get speedcam warnings running - connect phone to PC. Copy the speedcam.txt file into igocontentspeedcam There should already be 1 file 'speedcamupdates.spud'. In some manuals it says that you have to delete it, in others - that you don't. I left the update file and everything just works fine. When you have the speedcam.txt file in your phone, disconnect it from PC, turn on iGO, then Settings-> Sound and Warnings-> Tick the 'Speedcams'. Your GPS has to be turned on (and have a fixed signal at least to a few satelites) so that you could see the speedcam option in settings.
5) The previous versions of iGO are out-dated and had a few bugs. I personally could not run TeleAtlas and TopMap maps on my device. But when upgradings to the latest version (v8.4.2.139242) all looks good so far.
6.1) For those, who have a small screen phone. anonym.to - free dereferer service This data.gro file should make iGO work on phones with 240x320 and 320x240 screens. Didn't test it. You use it at your own risk!!!
6.1.1) For users of HTC Wildfire - here is a quick guide for you all! iGO for HTC Wildfire Special thanks to our mate indrek1!
6.2) For those, who have a BIG screen phone (Desire, nexus1, etc.) - you might need to use MOTONAV http://forum.ppcwarez.org/viewtopic.php?p=543174#543174 instead of iGO. Its a special build of iGO, but designed for Motorola phones. Big thanks for this program goes to biggdaniell
I am trying to learn how to do stuff in Android, and I'm not sure of the best way to build the interface.I've been working on porting an iPhone app, which uses navigation controllers and table views for looking at the different sections: basically, someone touches a cell in the table, which drills down to another table. when they touch a cell on that table it drills down to a webview that displays the information.I want to do something similar for the android app, but I don't know how, or if there is a better way native to Android. I've figured out how to use the webview to my purposes, but moving forward and backward in the table tree is unclear.

I've found on the net it can be done with this intent : Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("geo:"+lat +","+lng)); where lat and lng are the latitude and longitude. 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.
I learnt that there is a "recommended" minimum device requirements for Android device, however if I want to develop a device without five-way navigation key, is this allowed?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI would like to make an navigation application, but I don't want to use an openSource, because I want my to be payable. I have some question, what would be great if you can give me some answers or tips where can I check them :
- If I set my Target marker on the map How can the application know what is the way ? Why not set the route across buildings, park,etc... how are the other navigation application knows where are the streets, corners ? So How can link the graph nodes to corners and How can the graph ways to be streets ?
- I would like to use OpenStreetMaps or Google Maps for the mapping. Are these know the Traffic rules ? For example One Way streets ?

I would like to install Android - not on a mobile phone, like it's commonly down - but on a navigation device. In doing so I want to completely remove the old operating system and replace it with Android. Is this even possible, provided the hardware matches Android's requirements, or are there other criteria to be aware of ?
Still grappling with the on-screen keyboard on my HTC Desire (came frmo BB).
One thing that continues to annoy me is that when I am entering longer strings of text (eg Facebook comments/status, emails) there is no way for me to go back in the text to change or correct something. I either have to backspace all the way there, or have to try and put the cursor there by touching the screen at just the right place - either my fingers are too big or the screen isn't sensitive enough as I can never get this right.
why can't there be up/down/left/right arrows to move the cursor within the text entry box?
And another thing - there are some entry fields where the keyboard pops up and actually obscures the text entry box other than the first line and you can't see what you're typing.
Is there a way to change the route that is shown using navigation? The way that is mapped out is not the way that I want to go. how to change it?

Whenever I use Google Navigation, the screen times out after a minute (just like any other time I'm using my phone). But, doesn't it seem like the screen should not shut off EVER while using Nav?
I made the switch to Google Navigation after using Sprint's Navigation application for a few years on my previous BlackBerry and love it! It's my primary GPS application. So, here's my query. While I was tinkering with it today, I noticed the option to choose an alternate route. We are going to be driving to LA a little later this evening and the default route Google Navigation chose was longer in both time and distance compared to one of the alternate routes (total of three routes). The default route gave said it is 332 miles and 6hr/9min. When I pulled up alternate routes, the second option was 325 miles and 5hr/49min. The third route was over 7 hours long. Do you guys know what methodology Google Navigation uses to pick the default route? Why the longer route?
