1) Is there a way to save addresses or driving directions? Like if I know i'm going on a trip tomorrow and want to prepare for the trip, can i put in the addresses and get directions, then save? Also, can I save my HOME address? So whenever I'm anywhere, just say "home" and it route my destination?

I read some where that earlier googlenav package was there in Android SDK, but it is now removed. May I know the reason for removal of this package, or When can i expect it to come back with fixed version of googlenav in Android? Looking forward to your reply.
Driving me nuts trying to find a way to delete old locations. I read that since the maps update you can no longer delete history and the clear cache option is greyed out.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am using Google Navi to take me somewhere I have never been before. It tells me to get on the freeway and then it says "Destination On My Right." I finally figure out where the place is after calling them. But that was weird.
I then get home and look up directions on Google Maps. It literally says:
7.Take the ramp on the left onto US-59 N
Destination will be on the right
I am using Google Maps on my PC to create a customized route to a destination. When I do a Google Directions search it charts out a route that I do not want to take.
So I use the drag and drop method to change the route on the map and save it to My Maps. When I log back into Google My Maps on my PC, it shows me the modified route and the correct turn by turn directions using the new route. So far so good.
But when I load Google Maps on my Droid and show the layer I just created which is the new route to my destination. It shows me the new route traced on the map, but does not give me the correct turn by turn directions. Instead it always forces me to search for and load the "default" directions that Google found in the first place that I do not want to use. It does this with Google Navigation as well.
Why doesn't it use MY directions that I just created on Google Maps on my PC ?
How can I create a new route to a destinatioin and save it so I can get turn by turn directions using that new route that I have chosen?
In my application I want to show route between two points and display points (something like POI's from my own source) the user will be riding through.
How can I get the directions (polyline) from GoogleMaps? Application will not provide any navigation so I suppose that there are no "leagal obstacles" for doing this (correct me please if I'm wrong).
At the moment I am using this code to inquire google maps for directions from an address to another one, then I simply draw it on a mapview from its GeometryCollection. But yet this isn't enough I need also to extract the total expected duration from the kml. give a little sample code?

I am looking for a way to keep my screen from blacking out and going to the lock screen when using the directions in google maps. I am sure I missed a setting somewhere. Is the only way to achieve this is to go to settings and click the never time out option?
View 7 Replies View RelatedWhen I load Google Maps and it first locates me, it centers the map on my location. Once I am travelling, the map does not follow my location. My location dot will go right off the map and I have to manually drag the map to see the next section I am now driving on.
Is there a setting to make Google Maps follow my position while driving?
How do I use Google Maps app to calculate the driving time and distance from Chicago to Los Angeles? *ONLY* Chicago to Los Angeles.... not NYC-Chicago-LA
I can do this very easily using my Macbook Pro by firing up Google Maps in Chrome browser.(or any browser)
However, I just can't figure out how to do this using the Google Maps app on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Sure, I can use use a browser to do this, but I want to do it inside the Google Maps app for Android.
I am new to Google Maps and i was able to find a map yesterday but it does not give me voice directions. How do i get that? I am using version 4.7.0
View 1 Replies View RelatedAnybody know how to "see title". After entering source and destination information via google maps, is there a way to forward the resulting directions whether it be via text, email, or otherwise to another person. Alternatively, is there a way to forward basic GPS location info via the same methods. I have not been able to find this option via HTC Footprints either.

Is it possible to move routes/directions from Google maps on your PC web browser to maps and navigation on your phone?
I have worked out how to export kml files from Google Maps on the PC.
It would have been nice to be able to save routes in My Maps (maybe you can, but I don't see how).
Also, is it possible to build a route with multiple destinations in Google Maps/Navigation on the phone?
Is it possible to get google maps to find directions for local bus routes? I know my local bus organization uses google for bus directions, and I can access it through the browser, but I'm wondering if there's a way to do it through the Maps application.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI just got a new 2014 Chevy Sonic and I have paired my Huawei H881C to the car stereo. Once for "Phone" and once for "Music". Right now I can play the car radio music OR press a button on the car stereo that says "Media" and select "Bluetooth" which turns the car radio music off and lets the GPS voice directions come through the car stereo speakers but no music. I can't have both, the car radio music and GPS voice directions at the same time. Seems like the music volume should mute while the GPS directions are given then return to the previous volume and continue playing the music I had going. Instead it's "either or". ?
View 3 Replies View RelatedSince I installed (might just be a coincidence but I did update Maps via the market) 2.1, Google Maps takes so long to update when showing directions. For example I'll be in one street and have walked to another and it will still show me in the previous street after 30 seconds or so later. Also I noticed today when using it, that the arrow wouldn't move and just stays in one spot but the arrow does change direction though.
I could have sworn it wasn't like this before and I could just use it like a real gps unless I've overlooked something.
Also I get the "Current location temporarily unavailable" message all the time when searching my location unless I tick the Use Wireless Networks in the Location settings of the Hero. When I had 1.5, I didn't need to do this and just used GPS satellites.
What am I doing wrong here?
I've seen more than a few users in the OTA section commenting on the new Navigation Shortcut for Google Maps. This is NOT part of the OTA, per se, but is due to a Google Maps for Mobile update that coincidentally debuted today.
This is from the Official Google Mobile Blog:

Frustrating - but apparently the capability is I can customize a route online with Google Maps, save it to my maps and send it to the phone but it sends the static map.Ridiculously, all this power and I can't take those directions from the PC and turn them into turn by turn directions on the phone.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI would really like to incorporate turn-by-turn directions to our application, but it appears to be against the TOS. Is there any way to get permission from Google to allow this for our application? I have what looks like one other app allow this interface.
View 4 Replies View RelatedNeed some advice, google maps and navigation never quite takes me to the right place, close too it but never quite there. Now near location is okay for something free, but its usually that last wee bit that you need more than anything, instead of you coming to an estate and it tells you its on the left hand side, which is the whole estate. I read in a thread here someplace about another free sat-nav that Im sure was for another phone type, but then someone in one of the other phone forums gave everyone a link into that forum to show how it works. Anyone know what I am talking about ? (most folks never do and they know me lol) or anyone know how to make the google navigation more reliable?

View 6 Replies View RelatedIs anything known about how an app may tap turn-by-turn directions generated by Android 2.0's Google Maps Navigation? Until now we were prohibited by the Google Maps ToS to offer turn-by-turn directions in our apps. Clearly it would be attractive to integrate some of that functionality in other mobile applications, or to be able to exert some level of control over Google Maps Navigation from one's app. In other words, are there any supplementary APIs for use with Google Maps Navigation?Or does Google Maps Navigation run as a Service such that at least one need not switch between applications to still get spoken turn-by-turn directions even while one's app Activity is running in the foreground?
