Hi everyone,
I just bought an HTC WP 8S, and I have an issue with the Maps application. When launching the app, it looks for my position, but doesn't load any maps. All I see is the dot representing my position on a dark background. I googled for others with the same issue, but only found this thread ( http://bit.ly/VWRUGQ ) on a Microsoft forum, where there is no answer.
I tried to restart the device, and I'm sure I have a data connexion. So, does anyone else have this issue ? And maybe a solution ? (Please don't tell me to reset the device...)
Thanks !
What maps app is running on it? Bing or Nokia maps?
Well since it's Windows Phone 8 I believe that maps are provided by Nokia
R: Maps not loading on HTC WP 8S
What about space in your phone?

The reason I ask is because I've seen some WP8 devices still with Bing maps but any how, you have to go into the settings of the maps app and download the maps for your location before they will show up. If it's just doning nothing at all you might have to do a factory reset.
I have more than 1GB available so I think it is not related to memory.
I can't download maps without WiFi =/ But isn't it supposed to work without downloading them ?

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....

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???
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.
http://www.apktops.com/google-maps-6-3-0-worldwide-navigation-activated.html
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

How I have said, this in normaly no matter. If this doesn't work it's a matter.

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.

GM everybody,
I cannot post yet in the development forum so I have to make it here in the Q&A section.
I've installed the CM10.1 TWRP and, with the exception of the known issues, the ROM works (quite) perfectly.
Some people complains that screen auto-rotation often stops working for some reason and a reset is necessary. I never met such issue till last sunday when I've downloaded and installed from Play Google Maps with Navigator.
Once installed and started maps and/or Navigator, after a while autorotation freezes in portrait or Landscape mode depending on the latest usage for the application. To fix that you must restart the device, I haven't been able to reset the accelerometer in other ways.
Yesterday, after the n-th hang for autorotation I tried cleaning the Dalvik-Cache and system cache from TWRP but again using Maps for a hilw autorotation stopped to work again.
The only way to fix it has been to remove Maps from the device...probably it is enough to do not open it at all.
Did somebody else experience the same issue?
Wow, 183 reads and no answer.
Btw, the ptoblem looks to be Google Maps.
No idea on why it males rotation stuck.

I'm using the latest version (20130802) and no issues with auto rotation using maps or navigation.

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

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
Hi.
I try to use google maps with no success yet.
I use null rom, and share location with GearLocationBridge (and muck location is enabled)
Google maps launch but i cannot locate myself on the map.
On launch it says i must allow google app to use my location.
I didn't see the location menu on the parameters app from the gear, but i can get to it using google maps, and the sliders for allowing to use my location is ON.
But it didn't seems to have any effect.
I tried with both Maps 6 and 7.
Someone have a idea ?

Maybe because the gear doesn't have a built in gps?

There is no offline map program to install on the smartphone so the Gear can get the turn-by-turn text notifications? Maps is not supported as we know. Tried TomTom. I can activate notifications but... TomTom has no notifications at all, lol. Maybe Sygic? Anyone tried it?

It seems that some Sygic version is FC on some Note 3. On mine it crashes too. Should try Waze.
I'm on stock rom and unrooted for now. Got the watch a couple days ago so still messing with stock rom. Don't know if I could really get beneficts from Null rom for my kind of use.
