General :: Maps Favorite Places Being Synced To Google Account?

New to Android. In the Google Maps app, do my favorite'd places, starred locations etc get synced to my google account? If not, is there a 3rd party app?
I've been looking for an app that I can quickly launch (widget is even better!), grab my current location using GPS and save it to an existing layer in my google maps account. If I can also a label to the point that would be ideal. After googling awhile I found "My Maps Editor" but it looks like it got the ax at some point.
As far as I know, you can view "My Places" from google maps in the mobile version using layers, but can't edit them. Even if you could edit it, it'd be a hassle to load up the layer each time when I just want to mark a spot on the map quickly.
I know you can star locations, but I've been using My Maps/Places for awhile so I'm a little locked in at this point.
i updated my google maps but i can't seem to locate 'places'.

Personally I would rather it did not do this, for whatever reason. I know there are only a few Incredibles out there, but I thought the sync would be similar to the Droid or other Android phones people currently have.

View 3 Replies View RelatedNew EVO user here and had a syncing question.. I auto sync obviously and was wondering: where or how do I find my contacts and other synced info on my gmail account? Is there something I need to do to find all my synced info? One reason I ask is because it looks like I might have to replace my 3-week-old EVO with a new one due to a defect it looks like it may have, and I want to make sure I know how to back up everything then reinstall to the new EVO.

I have my email synced with my hotmail account but somehow it is picking up ALL emails from my hotmail account even the ones which I have deleted and cannot read anymore if I go online into Hotmail! How can I fix this?!

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have two gmail accounts, each with their own Google Voice account. Account 1 is my primary account, and I have even ported my phone number to this account. I'm using this account on my phone (nexus 5), and have 0 issues with this account. All texts, voicemails, etc come through with no issues. Account 2 is largely not used. I would like to use account 2 on my nexus 7, for texts, and maybe making calls if I don't want to give out my real number to someone.
My issue is when I'm logged in to account 2 on my nexus 7, I'm getting text notifications for account 1 on my nexus 7. But if I were to open Google Voice on the nexus 7, once GV refreshes, the texts disappear. It doesn't happen the other way around. If I get a text/vm to account 2, it does not notify my phone, which is logged in to account 1.
I've checked the settings in both GV accounts, and neither account is linked to the other, or to send copies of texts/vm notifications to the other. How do I stop notifications from GV account 1 to stop displaying on account 2? I have cleared cache, data, uninstalled the app. The only thing i have not done, is a reset of the nexus 7.
I was initially logged in to account 1 on my nexus 7, but I would have thought removing the app from the device would have essentially erased all traces of the account 1 on the nexus 7. I even signed out of hangouts, to make sure Google was not treating this like my phone, and sending it both places.
I found the following note in The Google Places API (Developer Preview)
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/places/#PlaceDetailsRe...
Note: To use the Google Places API you must first request a Maps API client ID and cryptographic key which you must use to sign your request URLs. For information on signing URL requests, please see the URL Authentication documentation within the Web Service APIs home page. But followed the instruction, I still do not know how to get the Maps API client ID and cryptographic key.
Does anyone know where I can find the old version of the google places directory standalone app? I don't like the new one integrated with maps. I can't figure out how to set a location other than my current location when searching places. I guess if someone can tell me how to search for places NEAR an address or point on the map that I choose, it will be ok. I still don't like the interface as well as the old one though.

All my 3rd party apps like Facebook,Whatsapp are working fine in 3G.
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 1 Replies View RelatedSprint guy told me that when I added a Gmail account, that all my contacts would sync to that, etc. Problem - LOTS (ok - most) of the info I have on my phone for my contacts/People is NOT synced to my GMail contact info. My phone went funky the other day so I went to the laptop to grab a friends phone number and realized it wasn't there - only her email address. I haven noticed this with most everyone else, too.I have read (and was told at Sprint) that at some point I'll likely have to do a master re-set and with the update coming next week, I want to make SURE all my info is stored somewhere.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI just got a new incredible last week, and have already been using a Google Contacts account for some time. When entering a new contact on an iPhone, the info is automatically synced with Google contacts, and vice versa. My Google contacts automatically appear in my phone directory, but how can I get new contacts entered thru my phone synced to my google account, without having to manually select 'contact type' when entering the info?
View 1 Replies View RelatedSo for the last 20 minutes or so I've been trying to figure out a little dilemma with my Incredible and my contacts list. I just realized that none of the data fields I enter into my HTC People app are getting synced with my Google Contacts. I'm a little bummed because I've spent some time trying to get my phone all set up with that.
I tried searching the Market for a dedicated Google Contacts app, but couldn't find anything. I love this phone, but I'm not exactly thrilled with all the HTC branded stuff going on. They've done some nice things, but I prefer gmail and most of the other Android stock features.
Anyone have any suggestions about how I can get my contacts synced with Google Contacts?
Don't know why, but every time I try to sync I get this message, but only for my contacts. Email and calendar are fine.
Anybody else experience this? Anyone know of a reason why this is happening?
My wife's phone - which is a ZTE Blade running 2.2 - is losing it's favorites in the contacts manager each time it syncs to Google Contacts.
I looked up her Google Contacts [URL] and there is no "Starred in Android" group, as it should be. I think it should be automatically created when she fovorites a contac in her phone. But instead, it deletes the starring of the contacts in the phone each time it syncs.
I used Titanium backup last night, I realized that it doesn't have up google accounts that I have synced to my phone. it doesn't seem to backup anything by applications. Is this right?

But I would like to touch only those events which are present in synced calendars only. I'm using Google Calendar API, but don't know how to list only synced calendars and ignore others.

Google Apps account works fine.

As there is such a high traffic on these groups, it takes time to find the threads I answered to or some I am interested to see how the problem is solved. Sometimes you don't remember the naming of the subject or the user that wrote it and then searching becomes annoying. An easy way would be to pin some threads! I mean the right side is nearly empty an everybody is authenticated when she uses the group, not to just read.

How to remove these associations? I only want maps to run if I ask it to, never any other time.
Is there any way to measure distance in the new Google Maps app or use any "Labs" for that matter?

I've read online that Google maps has a feature that allows for automatic screen dimming when using Google maps. However, I can't find the setting. Has it been removed?
If it has been removed, is there an app that will do it?
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.
