So I've been using Maps on the Incredible and liking it so far. However one thing I miss from VZ navigator is the option to search for business' around me.When I'm traveling i like to find restaurants, gas stations, etc. around the area I'm staying. Is there an app that will do what VZ Navigator did in that area?

I have deleted the maps data from the SD card. Where do I go to download the file again or any other map?
View 2 Replies View RelatedMaps vs. Navigator vs. Navigation. didn't find anything that compared the 3 stock options that the 2.1 OTA gave us. So far I have been using Navigation (the blue arrow icon) and i think it works extremely well, it give voice directions while the program runs in the background and your phone is "sleeping" so thats a big plus for me. I didn't see a voice option on Maps, or Navigator but i may be missing something. Navigator looks cool, but doesnt seem to have any bells and whistles that I need. My wife uses Maps and she is happy with what it does. What are your experiences with these 3 options?
View 12 Replies View RelatedI have an android application which allows the user to open up google maps or navigator to show a certain address. This functionality was working in the past, but now I get the following error and the app crashes:
ERROR/AndroidRuntime(2165):
android.content.ActivityNotFoundException:
No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW
dat=google.navigation:q=MCNAMARA+TERMINAL+ROMULUS+MI+48174 }
The two intents I'm using are-
1) For Map:
String uri = "geo:0,0?q=MCNAMARA+TERMINAL+ROMULUS+MI+48174";
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(uri));
startActivity(i);
2) For Navigator:
String uri = "google.navigation:q=MCNAMARA+TERMINAL+ROMULUS+MI+48174";
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(uri));
startActivity(i);
I had to do a factory reset on my Incredible. I went to download Google Navigator again but couldn't find it on the marketplace. Is it still available?

View 4 Replies View RelatedIs there anyway to get maps without having 3G? I was recently in Yosemite National Park and I was unable to get any maps. Is there any way to download maps to use with Google Maps before going to a a remote area? Are there any other programs out there for using GPS with a map when in remote area?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI know I know. Why in the world would anyone do that?I'm just wondering if gps works with it better than with Google Maps. Also if it doesn't work with it and people call AT&T and complain, then AT&T might be motivated to tell Samsung they have to fix it NOW since now the problem is causing the phone carrier to lose revenue.I mean otherwise AT&T probably couldn't care less about a FREE navigation service not working.I think the first month is free too. So we should all sign up for the free month and then call at&t and cancel, citing the crappy gps signal as the reason. Then someone at at&t might notice and think, "OK this is costing us money."
View 12 Replies View RelatedSo I pulled the trigger and successfully flashed Baked Snack v.9 ROM without any problems (that I've come across yet)! I was also able to restore my device in under 30 minutes! This ROM, so far, is awesome!Anyhow, can anyone link me the apk's for the HTC FM radio (I actually use it, lol) and Google Navigator 1.0.Other than that, I am loving my EVO even more.
View 13 Replies View RelatedI know you get this time and time again (I know, I've been reading and searching here and xda all weekend) ....... but I really have researched this. I saw a link somewhere, now i can't find it, I didn't flag it cuz I didn't know I would need it at the time. I rooted using unrevoked 3.3 (? The newest one), uninstalled all the programs I didn't wanted, played with rooted stock for a while, liked it, then flashed a custom rom. All that ended up OK. I am trying out myn warm twopointwo . I like it I have no idea how to reinstall sprint navigation!! The new rom doesn't have it (super cook that most Rome remove the bloatware ) The closest I have seen for a apron is to flash Fresh, it puts the sprint apparently in a aspirate folder on the SD card, then coy and install it back into my current rom. I really don't want too have to wipe, just to come back to the same thing.
i am creating an app similar to navigator, only that it is not restricted to US only,
now, it works as follows
1) user speaks the destination location, which is converted to text, sent to google maps for processing
2) google maps calculates route between current location and destination location, sends back the route, in text form
3) this text is converted back to speech using text to speech converter, issued to user
till now, i have set up the sdk,adk,eclipse and adt, enabled google maps after getting the key from google using keytool, have the working code for text to speech converter, and i can get my current location(of emulator) using coordinated sent by eclipse.
Thing is, how do i integrate all thees independent modules?
Loads but can't find directions. GPS is on. Anyone having this problem today?

View 9 Replies View RelatedSearched for a solution to this, but was unsuccessful.I got the OTA on Saturday and noticed that I had a program called "Navigator" and a program called "Navigation".Navigation had a blue arrow icon.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a Droid X with Verizon. If I enable the GPS and use GPS enabled apps, such as Google Maps, etc., am I charged by Verizon for this? Or is the Verizon Navigator the only GPS app that Verizon charges for? (i.e. does Verizon charge for the use of the GPS across the board, or only for the use of their GPS app?)

View 5 Replies View RelatedI used the navigation function in the "car home" app this weekend for the first time. The nav. worked great. Voice directions were clear and actually helpful for a change and the gps kept a lock on me. However, I had to make a call to tell my friend I was going to be a little late, only to find out after the call ended that navigation was lost. Luckily, I remembered the address and re-started navigation. So two things, I suppose: 1) Can you easily recall previous destinations? 2) Is there a specific way to make/receive calls while using the app? I noticed if I use use the back button and go through the car app (contacts, voice search) I can get back and forth from nav. to phone pretty well. But it still doesn't seem right.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI read in the manual that the Incredible will support multitouch for certain apps. There is no mention, however, of using multitouch to zoom the map application - the manual makes reference to double tapping the screen to zoom. Does anyone know if the Incredible will use multitouch in the map app like the Droid is able to?

I have the latest update to Google Maps.
