Sep 6, 2010I'm heading up North with my new X and want to reduce the VZW data roaming charges in Canada as much as possible, but without losing or reducing my Exchange email service.
I will:
cut back on unnecessary browsing.
stop downloading videos!
turn off background data.
turn off HTML for emails.
use Wi-Fi when possible.
turn off GPS.
Is this the right approach? Any suggestions on other uses or apps to avoid?
Motorola Droid :: Google Navigation Showing Navigation W/o Destination
Nov 3, 2009Can 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.

Sep 27, 2010For some reason, the navigation app will just start it self up. I thought maybe I was accidentally touching the shortcut on my home screen so I removed it, but it still happens. I "went along with it" as it asked me to show my gps settings since I have gps disabled. So I enabled it to see if it would bring me to a map, but it just brings me to the default navigation screen. Running 2.2, stock rom, but super user access.

View 5 Replies View RelatedMotorola Droid :: Overheating With Navigation While Charging
May 10, 2010Has anyone had problems with their Moto Droid overheating while navigating and charging. I noticed that it really was not charging so I went out to my battery app and it showed the temp being 135. I immediately unplugged the phone, shut it off and took the battery out to hold up to the AC vent. I cooled it to below 90 then plugged it back in and it started to charge to completion (100%) without navigation turned on. The problem is if it is not plugged in the screen blanks out without going into the settings to change it. So I removed SETCPU just in case that was the cause and I tried it on my way home from work(20min). When I got home it was at about 118 to 120. So my question is has anyone else experienced this navigating while charging heat thing? Should I be worried about that high of a temperature? Also would you happen to know at what temp your phone fails to charge anymore because of the heat?

Apr 26, 2010How do you create and save a map on Google My Maps and then get it into navigation on the droid? I have created and saved a map on My Maps (on-line.) I started Maps on the phone and successfully loaded the map from the web. The map shows up on the phone, but when I try and go to navigation I have to enter start and end points. Is there a way to get the My Maps map to transfer straight to Navigation?

View 5 Replies View RelatedMotorola Droid X :: Error In Navigation When Car Docked
Jul 26, 2010Never had a problem using the navigation, until today. So what happens is I dock in my car, then after a few minutes of everything working fine (viewable directions on map, and voice of lady giving the turn by turns), all of a sudden the map will go off, and show the prior screen (the screen where it lists the directions). I then have to press the "navigate" button again to get it to view the map again..its frustrating. By the way, the whole time the "voice" of the lady giving the turn by turns stil works, just the map with the driving directions illutrated goes off.Any one else have a problem? Dont know if it is related, but I did a hard reset of phone yesterday because of some other issues that it didnt help..(my blockbuster app ever since the update stopped working) Anyone else have this issue too? I was on phone with both verizon help, and motorola techs, and none of them knew how to help, nor had either of them heard of the issue so they say. Anyhoe, they did say I prolly could go back to store (since within 30 days of purchase) and get a new phone..but i feel like thats a bit drastic.

View 3 Replies View RelatedMotorola Droid : Navigation Sounds Through Earpiece Only
Nov 7, 2009When using Car Home mode - whether in the dash mount cradle or not - all navigation directions are coming through the earpiece speaker (above the word "Motorola" on the front) instead of the louder speaker-phone speaker (on the back). Totally useless.
I have Bluetooth turned off, so that shouldn't be the problem. Turning up the volume only increases the earpiece volume, it doesn't activate the other speaker. Anyone know how to fix this?

View 12 Replies View RelatedMotorola Droid X :: Navigation Spontaneously Switching Screens
Jul 16, 2010Just starting to play around with the new X. I tried the car dock on my first trip with nav without having the charging cable plugged in. Nav seemed to stay on the turn-by-turn screen just fine, except that the screen kept timing out (as expected running on battery). Today I also plugged in a charging cable. Nav started out working fine, but then several times during my trip the X inexplicably switched away from the turn-by-turn screen to the directions screen (or to the "maps" top-down screen). I didn't see anything in the options, and can't imagine why the thing would be switching. Also, I just updated to the latest Google Maps application (last night, between the two nav tests), so maybe that had something to do with it....

Nov 22, 2009In my Prius's GPS, I can save the location of where the car has been, and use that for future navigation need. In Droid, I don't exactly see a way of saving the current location into something like a contact so I can come back in the future. And there's no street address (inside a vast private property), so that's not going to work either.
View 31 Replies View RelatedMotorola Droid :: Google Navigation Working In Area?
Jan 19, 2010I'm on the outskirts of Houston. I was using a Garmin that was quite reliable. I started using the Google Navigation on the Droid and was instantly hooked. I love hearing the actual street names and running it in "satellite" mode, so I can see the actual buildings and scenery. However, over time, I've seen that it gets me to about 6 out of 10 destinations perfectly. The ones it misses are usually at least pretty close, but sometimes I really have to search and sometimes find that it overshot the location by a mile or so, or that the big loop that took ten minutes to complete could have been eliminated by just turning right at "x" and left at "y"...
