Is it just my nook or does google nav not work? I can get a gps fix using maps, but nothing works when using nav.
There's no gps in the nook, therefore no navigation.

Yeah, I think when Maps gets your location, it's using location services, but since there's no GPS chip in the Nook, Navigation won't play nice. Even if it would run off of non-GPS location data, it'd likely be choppy, inconsistent, and not what anybody expects out of Navigation.
Not to mention no map tiles via wifi once you leave your driveway.

Probably something simple i am missing. When i use Google maps and gps how do i stop the screen from timing out and turning off?
Is there a way to control this automatically when gps and maps are on?

umm
Not the best answer but here goes. I can't get it to stay on for google maps, but it's easy for google navigation.
Tasker on the market... Great program, its a paid app but well worth it. You can set up start up for any app, trigger-maps=screen stays on. And on exit it goes back to normal settings.... Great great app! Endless custom settings

Did a full install of the Gingerbread overcome rom. Its absolutely phenomenal. Only one issue, GPS works, google maps work, but Google Navigation will not locate, just sits at waiting for location, same with my weather app. Anyone else have this issue and how do I fix it. I did the GPS fix to see that would help but didnt. Ran tests and satellites pop up just fine. Again, Google maps finds my location fine, but google navigation app wont.
Figured it out. Thanks
So you had problem and found the solution. But youll keep it for yourself. Great. Keep it this way and xda forums will eventually die . ;-)

Was the solution to walk outside?
I installed the Google Plus app from the market. When I hit the share field it crashes.
Any suggestions?
CM7 RC1 + OC mod
Get My Fake Location from the market. The app is looking for a GPS location and will crash without one.

I do get some real location services from WiFi (e.g. Google Maps). Will My Fake Location interfere with that?
Don't know. I just turn it on when I want to post something with G+.

Thanks for the tip, it worked fine after installing the app. I hope Google will fix this so that G+ works the way Maps works on our gps-less devices.
The default navigation application from google is not working. Is there any way to sync mapmyindia offline maps with google navigation or any other navigation software.?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1429126&highlight=google+maps
why waste money on map my India when you can use google navigation for free.. its not officially out try but the modded version from the above link will work fine, I am yet to find any bugs.
I use this often when I go to India. the map's got way more details than mmi .
I find the online maps a lot delaying . If only we could synchronize offline maps it would be much better. Any help regarding this ?

Well if you go to google maps settings, in the labs there is an option called precache map. So if you cache your route via wifi before your journey the maps will load fast and you won't lose precious mobile data.
So what do you say ?
google navigation is fantastic the rerouting feature works like a charm
And outside the cities mapmyindia hardly has any coverage
Pls give it a try and I am sure you won't go back to mapmyindia.
(unless of course you are an undercover map my India employee here for info )
If you want offline navigation
Sygic is working fine. on both gingerbread and ICS.
Navigon, Ndrive and Map my india also working fine on Gingerbread, but didn,t tried on ICS. (I always prefer google and sometime Sygic)
Im going off on a long toad trip tomorrow. Will check and post back comments. Thanks again for help.
Note : was using sygic for bada and hence was asking bout it. ;-);-)

All,
One question I am seeking the answer to is can one unlink Waze from AA? Google maps will allow one to run Google maps on the phone and if using a screen mirroring app (e.g. screen2auto, AA Mirror, etc) one can stay in screen mirror road and use Google maps.
Waze, however, refuses to launch on the phone if Android Auto is running. I would like to be able to run Waze on my phone and mirror the screen, so that I do not have to go back to Android auto to see directions if I am mirroring my screen.
Any assistance is appreciated.
Cheers,
B.D.
As far as I know, it is not possible to run two apps using the GPS in the same time. Take in account that even one of the navigation apps runs on AA (screen mirroring), this doesn't mean it is not using the same GPS sensor.

Uhi711,
I appreciate the response, but just to clarify, I am not asking about running two GPS app (though this is possible, as I have run magic earth and maps at the same time>. My question is specific if there is a way to run waze on the phone while connected to AA.
Hope this clarifies.
Cheers,
B.D.
Ok, I didn't understand exactly what you were asking.
I'm not sure that this will solve your problem, but it worth trying.
In AA settings (opened on phone), you have the option to choose what apps you want to be able to see on AA's apps screen (Customize launcher). Disable Waze and see what happens when you connect your phone to your car's infotainment system.

Not sure if this helps but I run Waze & Google maps at the same split screen each set to 2 different locations all the time. Never had any problems. [emoji2369]

uhi711,
Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, when I tried this, Waze launched but then FCed.

Hmmmm. Strange. I tried on my Pixel 3xl and Waze will launch and then FC itself. Google Maps will run on my phone Even if I run Google Maps on my car, or Waze is running on my car. I am on the latest version of AA and Waze.
Thanks for the suggestions and information.
Cheers,
B.D.
Figured it out. If Waze is running (From the head unit), then it will not permit Waze to run on the phone (as the output is already to the head unit). I thought I had exited the app and not had it launch in Android Auto.
To overcome this, I used KWGT to create a widget that when pressed will call a Tasker Task to kill waze. Then I could start waze on the phone (mirror screen) and even have it split screen with my music app.
Hope this helps somebody else.
Cheers,
B.D.
