For some strange reason I no longer have the option to use navigation on Google Maps. I am in the US and I've used it a few times previously. I did just go to Italy a few days ago but I don't remember using it while i was there but I did update to the latest CM build while i was there. Any suggestions on how to fix it?
Wipe cache and settings for maps, then delete maps from your phone and re-download it from the market. Worst comes to wors, you'll have to flash HTC's 1.6 image and then CM build on top of it to get it to work.
Good luck.

I rooted my phone for the first time this weekend and loaded Cyanogen MOD. Everything is working GREAT, except for one issue with Locale. When I go in to setup a a new situation it won't let me add a location condition. I hit the "Add Condition" button, hit Location, and all it does is go to a black screen for a second or two and then takes me back to the "edit situation" screen. After I hit location it looks like it's trying to load the normal location select screen but can't for some reason. Anyone ever see this or have any ideas why it might be doing that? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The app has worked flawlessly for me and I have always had root but I think the latest update made this feature not work which is unfortunate.
I installed the 4.0.2 Cyanogen ROM yesterday and setup a new location in Locale as recently as an hour ago. Do try an uninstall and reinstall of locale and make sure you're running the latest version of Google Maps.
I already tried un/reinstall of Locale to no avail. I just tried un/reinstalling Google Maps as well, but that didn't work either.
Any other ideas?
Try opening google maps and finding your location in there first. I did that and it magically started working again.
So, nothing I tried worked (even opening google maps first). I started to get more suspicious when I noticed a few other map-enabled apps would work as well (mymaps editor, weatherbug, etc). So I decided there must either be something wrong with the version of the ROM I loaded or something else I had done messed up something with the maps. Loaded the latest version of cyanogen and now it works great. Go figure.
Thanks for all the suggestions anyway.
According to the developers website they know about the issue and its being blamed on people with rooted phones. Their solution is to go back to an OEM build of Android which is total bull**** so I sent them an email letting them know.
"Why can't I open Locations after the latest update?
This happens frequently on rooted phones, phones running unofficial installations of Android, or phones modified in some non-standard way (e.g. running apps off of the SD card). Try restoring your phone to an officially supported version of Android."

Locations doesn't work on hacked phones, because the Android on these phones has a problem loading the Google Maps libraries. This is NOT a bug in Locale, and there is no code change in Locale that would fix the issue.
In order to investigate this issue, I've taken these steps:
1. Contact Google: Initially, this appeared to be a bug in Android. Google investigated and found that only hacked phones had problems, at which point they considered the issue closed.
2. Contact Steve Kondik (e.g. Cyanogen): He is looking into issue, but I haven't heard anything further from him.
At this point, there's just nothing else I can do. I can only suggest reverting to an official version of Android.

Hello,
I am using a Nexus One with Cyanogen 6 RC3 on it. I have also flashed the google apps addon pack in order to have those apps.
My problem is the following; Two days ago I was able to use google maps navigation without problem. However now, anytime I use two addresses in Canada (where I live) for "Get Directions", the "Navigate" link never pops up. However the Navigate link is available when I use two US addresses. This is especially weird because if I access the Navigation app directly from my app drawer, I am able to use navigation between canadian addresses.
Just 2 days ago I was able to use navigation from within google maps and suddenly I am no longer able to. People have said to re-install google maps but I cannot seem to uninstall the maps application. Should I reflash the google apps pack?
Further, I apparently had auto updating enabled for maps but am unaware of any update that was applied.
Any help to be able to use the Navigation from within google maps within Canada would be greatly appreciated. I hope it is clear what my problem is, if you need more clarification please ask
Im not sure what the rule is about first replying to your own thread however I do have an update.
I re-flashed the latest google apps pack found here xttp://mirror.kanged.net/gapps/
The pack was the same one that I originally flashed however it seems after flashing now I have navigation functionality from within Google maps again. I am happy to have my problem resolved currently but I am curious as to why my Navigation functionality disappeared in the first place.
Hopefully someone knows or can explain what happened so I can prevent this kind of issue in the future. Thank again for all your time
you can try flashing RC2 back, couse many people are facing this issue!
I'm still experiencing this issue. I switched to Enom's rom to see if it fixed it but nope. My Google maps navigate link is sometimes available and then just doesn't show up other times. I am able to use the navigate app. I tried uninstalling maps with titanium backup and redoenloading it from the market, but I still have the problem with navigate.
Hello all:
I am having hard time trying to get google maps with youtube app installed. I am doing the SD setup which is all successful from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957. I have used most recent nightly and cm_encore_full-161.zip. After installing gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip, it gets all of the apps but not google maps or youtube. What I have noticed is that it errors out on at least 3 apps when installing all remaining during initial setup wizard after successful gapps install from recovery.
Can someone help me out here on what I am doing wrong? Should I use ADB and install google maps manually if possible?
Okey.. I should have read all the new posts like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1218974&page=2 .
I have installed LCDdensity, set it to 160, killall, reboot, cleared data for market after force stop, works now.
Works but springpad screen screwy
Works great for market but spring pad screen is a grayed yellow when "my stuff" is accessed. Have to switch back to 161 and reboot.
Royal pain
yeah, the new market really sucks! I had to uninstall the update and freeze the market updater. now i have my old market back and now i can see and download everything
Ever since Google Maps was updated to v6.0, I've noticed that certain things, such as highway shields, show up as blank squares. I've tried each subsequent version up to 6.2.0, but the same thing happens. I've tried clearing the app's cache and the dalvik cache, to no avail. I have screenshots, but can't link to them, as I'm still a noob here, so I've attached them to this post.
ubJSH.png is Google Maps 6.0.3, but all subsequent versions do the same thing.
MsZNV.png is Google Maps 5.12 after uninstalling Maps 6.0+ and installing the 5.12 apk.
All Google Maps v6.0+ work perfectly on the stock 2.1 HTC Hero, so it seems to be a problem specific to Cyanogenmod 7.1.0 (can't vouch for earlier CM versions). It must not happen on other phones, or we would be hearing more about it.
Any thoughts?
I've seen the same thing on my phone. It may have to do with the phone being under powered?
confirming the glitches
The same thing is happening to on my Hero. I get the white boxes that show up on the map. The text for street names also is all messed up. This seems to happen randomly but usually almost always occurs when scrolling/moving around on the map.
Try to use navigation from watch, sits at calculating route, then i get a "check phone to continue". Nothing is brought up on phone. I have reset watch, reinstalled google maps, checked all my location settings, nothing that i have done has fixed this issue. Any ideas?
Navigation not working
Yes, I am experiencing the same thing. Anyone have a fix?
I have also read that people are having same issue with the moto 360. Thats a good thing its not hardware related.
It Works..
I managed to get it to work.. On your Phone go to Apps Manager.. Look for Google Maps.. Uninstall Updates.. This feature doesnt seem to be working with Maps 9.xx.. It has to be Maps 8.xx... then run Google Maps on your phone once.. Make sure you navigate at least once as there are some pop up notifications on the phone the first time you navigate with maps.. The watch does not know what to do handle pop up.. Once you have navigated at least once try launching it from your watch.. Let me know if this works for you.
Talking with android wear support, i will post back with any news
amresh89, that did work. I passed that info onto wear support.
Downgraded to Maps 8, created a route / directions and then closed Maps. Tried on watch and it tries to route and the closes.
UPDATE : Restarted phone and it then worked.

Yes this is a known issue with google maps 9.4. which doesn't seem to be updated in many regions. Fix is to uninstall updates, download google maps 9.5.1 from this link: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/maps/maps-9-5-1-android-apk-download/. Always healthy to restart your phone and smartwatch then resync the apps. This should resolve the issue.
Hope it helps.
Update Maps, works now. 9.5.x
