[Q] no blue arrowhead of google map - LG Optimus Black

After locating myself on google map, there is no blue arrowhead representing my location. Only a blue dot appears. With other programs, I ve found that the compass of my device is working properly.
P.S: I am using 2.3.4 and Google map is the latest version
Any opinions about what happens?

Yea u r right but when u move the arrow will appear.... i faced it too when i was driving my car....

did u have the same problem before? compass used to appear immediately even i was standing still. it would be very troublesome now.(i have not yet tried whether the arrow will really appear again!)

No i dint had that prob before... i feel its bcz of new update of map maybe....

I'm having the same issue, since i installed Google Maps 6 or something. In other programs compass works fine. In Google Maps v. 5.2 or something compass also works fine.
P.S. Now on 20n with Google Maps 6.3 - and still no luck with that.
Of course arrow appears when you move with GPS fixed to the satellites. It just draws vector from your previous location to current location. Compass is another thing - it shows your heading immediately, without GPS fix and even when you stand still.

i am so frustrated now....
anyone know how to report this problem to Google map? i ve done so on feedback on android market and google map forum. but seems, they dont care
besides, no one else has come across this problem? it seems no others have talked about this in the internet

I had same problem with google maps v6. So I downgrade the app to v5.12.0 and the blue arrow is back

Also, as a workaround, installing google maps [brut] 4.6 worked for me (as I was unable to remove/downgrade stock maps from unrooted phone)

Same bug with V20E Vietnam (tested google map v6 and 6.5 stock and 6.5 ownhere)
I think kernel stock LG bug !!!!
Someone test with rom CM7....it can working???

Issue with Google Navigation on Overcome Gingerbread Rom

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 . ;-)

navigation not working

hello guys my google navigation isn't working its waiting for location all the day
why??
Already tried this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494862
i have no root
Try "gps test" from google play. Go outdoor start gps, turn off internet access, start the app and wait until 30 min, if the can’t get satellites and fix them after 30 you have a hardware problem. In other case all is OK
Notice that sygic works normally

Search for another version of Gmaps in google, an instalable .apk
Also google maps gets my location perfectly but only navigation
Navigation is a part of Maps!
So how to download it??
**I had old lg one also wasn't work but the message is different "Not enabled in your country"
Just search in google for "Google Maps 6.3.0 Apk", or "Google Maps v5.12.0" or what you want.

I found this but Application not installed I don't have root
What is the solution??
Normaly there is no need to be root, it's signed. Have you try to install it?
I have a Optimus black, an no problem with maps and navigator. I have the actual Map 6.7.0. The only issue, is that the compass don't work in maps. The compass works in 5.x versions.
Just try you can't destroy nothing.
Regards.
I tried
it told me app not installed
May it cuz my location??
Try this: http://www.mediafire.com/?ah6v4zd4gtdo542

I will try to use navigation now
only google nav has problems here
hi there,
Do you recognize this?
Google Navigation constantly looses its gps fix, almost at every turn.
Other navigation software like NavFree has no problem at all.
It is almost as if Google Navigation resets the GPS sensor when it is too slow to keep up (not driving too fast though).
Any ideas?
why do you want so badly google maps??? if sygic works for you its a very good navigation program. also google maps need gprs connection to work charging you instead of sygic that it's maps are on the phone.

[Q] Getting MapmyIndia to work with google Navigation

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. ;-);-)

Google navigation disappears after running Wisepilot for the first time

Just as in title. My Google navi worked fully fine, till I ran wisepilot for the first time (wanted to just check it out, but it's not that good as I need so I never ran it again). Right now there is absolutely no trace of Google navi ever being installed on my SP. Anyone met the same problem? Is there a way to fix it without reflashing? (can't flash, away from home, no computer, and I really do need that Google's navi)

That's because of Google's maps update. Navigation is now a part of maps app and hence not anymore a launcher icon..

Clicking location on contact info doesn't load map

When I open my contacts (People app) and click on their address, it doesn't do anything.
I can't remember if it was on my One X or One, but usually when I click an address in contacts, it opens it in Google Maps.
Anyone have this issue?
Same here on ARHD 12.1
It's because of the new version of Google maps, it doesn't seem to work with it. Mine was opening Copilot. If I froze Copilot nothing would happen like on yours.
I uninstalled the new version of Google maps and installed an old version and it works fine.
The new version is dog sh!t.
Here's the old version, just uninstall the new version first.
Google maps old

same problem
I have the same problem. it started after the Google Maps update. I use this feature everyday so I noticed it right away. hopefully they get it fixed soon.
Is there anyway we can notify google of this ?

It may not be a fault with the new maps but rather the sense rom not being able to make the selection
