I installed the latest Google Maps app from the market. when I go to Menu->More "catch settings" is missing. Is Hero capable of caching maps for off-line use?
"Rather than having a static set of maps when installed, Maps will automatically start caching the areas you visit the most when your device is plugged in and connected to WiFi (e.g., the nightly charge)." You can't manually control caching, but it's an important first step toward an offline Google Maps.

I have seen it on youtube(couldn't find the video now) that Maps 5.0 has a menu for "Catche Settings". Go to this link you will see it.
Do you guys have this menu on your Hero's?

Offline map caching
The caching is not going to be done while you are using maps. Rather, it will wait until you have your device plugged in and on Wi-Fi to download your personalized map data. If you go to Menu > More > Cache Settings, you can see the current cache size, along with the option to clear it. Also, you can toggle Prefetch on Mobile to let the phone use cellular data to pull maps if Wi-Fi is not available. Google has committed to constantly improving the algorithm that generates your most used areas. We're going to be interested to see how this works out.

It doesn't support the vector rendering and therefore I don't think it supports the offline caching.

When I first got my Galaxy S I was so impressed with the google maps as a sat nav I stopped using my TomTom.
Now after trying various different firmwares (currently JPM) my google maps only works when I am connected to a wi-fi connection.
When I am out in my car I get a GPS lock and can see 11 satellites and lock onto between 8-10 satellites but when on the move my google maps looks like the image below.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If I do a search for some ware I get the screen below and it just keeps on searching and never finds a location I put in where as it did before I updated my firmware.
Below is a screen shot of GPS Status showing how many satellites I am seeing and locked onto.
Is there a way to get this working correctly again? I also have CoPilot installed and that works as it should but I still prefer google maps.
Thanks in advance.
Paul.
I see that u dont have data turn on. no data, no google map as it need to download the map.
Where does it show this and how do I turn it on?
Paul.
Am I the only one with this problem then! I have never had a 3G connection as I am on a pay as you go sim and it's never been enabled yet before updating my firmware google maps worked flawlessly.
Paul.
google maps does not store maps locally, it retrieves them as required. Hence, a data connection (either 3G or WIFI) is required. This has always been the case.
The app does store some map tiles in cache, thats why some of the tiles are still visible.

Hey everyone!! I'm here with a new app that solves an issue I'm sure that every one of you have had. AutoGPS rectifies having to turn GPS on and off whenever you use Maps or Navigation. You never have to worry about your GPS again, helping you save time and battery.
AutoGPS - Google Play Store
-----------------------------------------------------
Play Store Description:
AutoGPS manages the Location Settings of your device to switch to High Accuracy(GPS) whenever Google Maps needs it. Never be prompted again to change your Location Mode again. Never worry about wasting your battery to your GPS always being on, AutoGPS will take care of it for you.
☆Only works with Google Maps
☆Requires Secures Settings (Uses Root)
☆Requires Notification Listener
Secure Settings: http://goo.gl/NCoJJ
The System+ Module must be enabled for Secure Settings to work.
Notification Listener: http://goo.gl/ljTj2p
It must be turned on in the Security Settings of your device, under "Notification Access".
Important:
AutoGPS doesn't really ask for many permissions to manage the GPS for Maps.
Lock Screen Permissions:
Allows the device to know that you're not actually navigating anywhere and instead just have the screen off.
Retrieve Running Apps Permissions:
Allows the app to know when you're running Google Maps.
Run at Startup Permissions:
This allows the app to do its magic stuff without having to run it manually every time.
Prevent From Sleeping Permissions:
Keep Android running while Google Maps is active to manage GPS.

Hello to all,
I've received my phone yesterday
I've noticed that "Motorola Modality Services" subsystem uses location services using hardware GPS, which incurs "high battery use":

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
According to it's description:
"Motorola Modality Services helps your Motorola phone respond more intelligently to motion, phone orientation (e.g. face up/down) and stowed state (e.g in/out-of-pocket).
Note: Motorola Assist and Motorola Active Display use this service. Keeping it updated allows you to benefit from their latest features." I don't understand why this service needs to have access to location and morover why high accuracy is needed.
Is this normal?
I believe it's for the Driving and Home modes in Moto Assist. I have an issue with it automatically resetting to high accuracy even when I set it to battery saver mode under Location settings. No solution found to it yet other than manually setting it to battery saver each time I toggle location.

That's also what I guess, but it should be able to detect modes using only accelerometer and gyro. This
would be a much less battery intensive approach I think.
My Chinese car head-unit is no longer able to get GPS signal. I have tries all the available maps application and it doesn't work! I also tried a lot of GPS Fix type tools/apps, nothing worked.
At the top of the toolbar it shows the location icon but somehow the location just doesn't work.

Hey did you find a fix for this I have the exact same issue dm me if you did please
Had the same problem in mine. It first started as an intermittent problem, where I'd loose the fix randomly while driving. Later the problem became permanent.
It turned out the SMA socket for the GPS antenna inside the unit was not soldered properly. Once I replaced it the GPS worked perfectly.
Another not an MTCB or MTCD unit
Check the technical part, antenna, and all wires. If everything is in order, follow the advice indicated above, install the old version of the application and prevent its updates.

Click on View summary
In summery
you see this
In Backtrace you see the app caused crash to system
mine was /data/data/com.android.webview/....
this picture is just a screenshot from google
next you should go to setting
Settings > Apps > Manage Apps >3 dots on left upside(option "Show all Apps or Show System Apps"> Search for “WebView” > App Info > Uninstall updates.
Go to Google play store>setting>Turn off auto update(google update Android System webview Again if dont do this)
after that problem fixed
just read backtrace info and go Uninstall app caused problem.
in the picture for example Facebook Caused Problem
[UPDATE #2]
Some xiaomi devices have Webview **Disabled** and no way to uninstall updates
Fix:
Uninstalling the latest updates from Google Chrome should stop apps from crashing on your device. Do note that if your data on Chrome isn’t synced with an account, you will lose all of it.
Just uninstall Chrome Updates.done
Good Luck
