Is it my imagination or did the Google search results recently get useless?It used to be, I would search on my N1, say for "office depot" and it would show me web results with local results included. Then when I clicked on "Show Map" it would go to Google Maps and I would have the option of navigating to that location.Now, I click "Show Map" and it shows me a map with an arrow for the location and I can't do a damn thing.Am I the only one who's seeing this? I updated Google Maps a few weeks ago, and I'm thinking that's when it broke.As a workaround, I've discovered if I do the search from within Google Maps I can still navigate, but it's a headache.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAny widget that will display a moving google map with my current location centered? There are a couple apps I've found that are close, they just don't update in realtime. The reason I ask is because I have my 7" galaxy tab mounted in my truck. I use a program called torque to add gauge widgets (coolant temp,boost pressure, rpm,etc) to my home screen and would like to have a moving map display as well. I understand this would be a battery hog,but the tablet is always plugged in.
View 1 Replies View RelatedThe clock/weather widget seems to no longer know my current location. All it says is literally "Current location". Prior to the 2.2 upgrade and even for a while after the upgrade it used to show the actual city or town I was in. I've played around with the settings under Settings -> Location but nothing makes a difference.

View 31 Replies View Relatedi'm beginning to think that in 2.2, if you have a lower signal strength (such as i do in my house), it can't tell your location anymore. in my house, wiht 2.1, it always told me my town. now, with 2.2, it says, fro the most part with a lower signal, "current location." however, when i turn wifi on, it'll tell me my town right away, leading me to believe that since my wifi signal is great in my house, it's giving me the correct location.
View 8 Replies View RelatedHow could I fix the location which appears on the clock on the home screen and serves as weather forecast location? I am not living near a big city listed on the weather location list and when at home, the current location usually is indicated some dozen miles away from my home. This could be a cosmetic problem, but in the Alps (where I am living) weather a short distance away can be quite different from where you are.
Besides that, it would be nice to know the weather at home while beeing abroad.

In the EVO 4G section and I'm having the same issue with my Incredible. For the past couple of days every time I go to google.com I receive this prompt
This happens using the native browser or using Dolphin browser. All my location settings are set to allow sites to use my location (in the phone options and all browser options). I get the prompt both when I am logged into google and when I am logged out. I've even checked my google account settings "save recent locations" is set as On and "allow use of device location" is set to YES. No matter what combination of options I select within the prompt, it comes back every time I go to google.com. I've rebooted and even pulled out the battery and nothing changes. GPS on or off has no effect and clearing out my caches hasn't changed it either. My phone is stock except for being rooted.
Am trying to develop an app that show current location. but i am having one prob. my application is showing location on location change occur.* but how to show location first time. * i want to take location manually..not by onlocationchange Method in location manager.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm done creating an android program that adds a marker to a location. But I need to show CURRENT MY LOCATION in the MAP. I know this is done thru location based services but I don't know how to incorporate it into my program.
Here is my onCreate command:
CODE:.......
I have an onTouchEvent that places the marker. So no problem there, the problem is I need to display my location at the start of the program. It should show a mark that says, "You are here" or something like that in the map.
How do I get the current location of the phone? I'm not talking about registering for location updates on the location manager and waiting for it to update upon change. I'm talking about get the current position.

How i can get the latitude and longitude of the current location, from android?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIm doing app in which, uses sqlite db file to get data. table in db having shop name, address,city, latitude, longitude etc columns.
Im able to get cureent location latitude and longitude and also able to calculate the distance between current location and the location of a shop(in db) using longitude and latitude values.
Here my issue:
I need to get/display 10 shopnames(from db) which are nearest(distance) to the current location.
The LocationManager API in android seems like it's a bit of a pain to use for an application that only needs an occasional and rough approximation of the user's location.The app I'm working on isn't really a location app per se, but it does need to get the user's location in order to display a list of nearby businesses. It doesn't need to worry about if the user is moving around or anything like that.Show the user a list of nearby locations.Preload the user's location so that by the time I need it in Activity X, it will be available. Don't particularly care about accuracy or frequency of update. Just grabbing one location is sufficient as long as it's not way off. Maybe if I want to be fancy I'll update the location once every few mins or so, but it's not a huge priority.
Work for any device as long as it has either a GPS or a Network Location provider.
Please Help me for creating an application for getting the current location of the android phone.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an activity that needs to display an alert to user when location is updated,
but i need first to get current location (update last known location) and then start a location update listener to display alert in this activity.
Basically what i need is to display an alert if location changed from time activity was created.
If i use getLastKnownLocation when activity is created, it might be outdated, then the requestLocationUpdate listener is called a few seconds from activity creation time.
How can i do this?
