HTC navigation software

Hi I recently had to factory reset my desire hd. Today I opened the car panel and the navigation button is greyed out, and I cannot find the application in the app draw. Does anyone know a way to get hold of the .apk or can anyone post it up. I still have the map files on my SD card.
Thanks.

Try adding the Footprints widget to see if it gives you the option to redownload locations, I had a similar problem and that did it for me,

I don't have a footprint widget in my list of widgets...

Well I put the locations widget on the home screen and got into the navigation, and activated my free trial (something I didn't do before, or have to do) and the icon is no longer blanked out. However I'm sure there was a direct link to the map application without having to go through the car panel.
Thanks for the help, looks like footprints has been combined with locations etc.

Sweet so the app is there, are you still missing the locations app in your app list?
try going to: settings -> location -> reinstall (under location service)
this reinstalls the htc locations app
I reinstalled it for a second time and it is now functioning and the icon has been restored, thanks for all the help guys.

HTC weather widget location problem

Ever since I got a new u-verse modem, my HTC weather widget thinks I am in Illinois when I live in Ohio. Tried turning on GPS, deleting widget, power cycling modem/phone. Google location is also on. Anyone have any suggestions? This is very annoying. Thanks.
Edit: recast also thinks I'm in buffalo grove :banghead:

If you go under location settings you should see "Use wireless network" checked. If you uncheck that it will stop using that method. I am not sure if it will still work the way you want it to but its worth trying.

Try using Accuweather. It's easy to set up, and very accurate with locations.

[Q] can not use maps

Google maps can't locate. Any solution?
Might be a daft question, but is the Location Services switched on?

I had same problem, make sure google location services are on aswell as normal location services. That fixed it.

It's all on , still have problem.
I had the same problem. After I found out what to do i still didn't find it again after reading this thread.
But I finally found it again.
Sort Apps Alphabetically, find Google Settings. Goto location settings and allow Google apps to access your location.

I m 100% sure opening all, but still unavailable.
All I done was, turn google services on. Try turning gps on and off again. Or reinstall gmaps.

I've found that GPS location is working fine for me but network location is not returning anything.
It shows up in some apps like google skymap that try to get a coarse location instead of gps, none of them can get a fix.
So I tried a repair, no difference.
Then a factory reset and finally google location services work.
So chalk that down to yet another bug that may be fixed by resetting.

Should of just cleared data and cache in apps management. Google maps can be finnicky and this normally always sort it out.

It wasn't just google maps though, I tried a few different apps.
Things like flight radar and google skymap which use coarse locations.
SkEye was very handy as it asks to set a location and lists the gps location and the network derived location.
The gps would get a lock quickly outside but the network one would stay at waiting for location for ever.
Since the reset it is instantly populated.
Of course after you set a location it crashes but that's a SkEye issue.
The easiest thing to do was get into Google setting app that was preinstalled and enable the location thingy... Even tho I enabled it in phone settings, the switch in Google settings app was off, and I couldn't use maps, but as soon as I found this settings in app it worked straight away

I had the same problems.
I've found that clearing all the settings or factory resetting, then turning all the location based settings, and then immediately restarting the phone afterwards, leaves you with a box at startup asking whether you agree to google collecting anonymous data etc and clicking allow now means maps works fine.
Clearing cache and data for maps should also do the trick as long as you restart the phone as soon as you've turned on the options.

Location problems?

My phone can not determine my location over WiFi or mobile internet. It does not work with the HTC weather widget on blinkfeed (just constantly shows no weather data available and annoys the **** out of me) Google maps or Google news and weather. All settings have been configured the only thing I haven't tried is GPS.
Im really annoyed as location apps were great on my s3 and my last HTC phone the hd2.
Anyone suggest what might be causing the problem? I wouldnt mind manually typing my location in but that doesn't alter (or at least I can not find a way to) the blinkfeed weather widget
Any help appreciated, I have had a good look through this forum so sorry if this is duplicated elsewhere.

I did have a problem in the first 24 hours of use - no location showing. Eventually I checked all locations settings were <ON> and then ran maps. For the first time I saw the GPS icon flashing and I did get a location.
Hope that helps....
Yeah a hard reset sorted it. Don't know what happened the first time, all settings were exactly the same as the second time I set it up, weird.

I had the same problem. Made sure location services were all checked and then just soft resetted and it finally appeared.
Disable the Fast Boot option in Settings. Then reboot.
Worked for me.

I've tried all above, but no success.
It worked for 10+ days, then last 4 days I only get "MY LOCATION" or "CURRENT LOCATION" in BF or Weather app.
It was very good first ten days, and extremly precise. I'm still on .13 version.
Anybody still having this issue or similar??
It's a known Google problem with about 6 threads here discussing the problem. Google is working on a fix.

Disabling Fast Boot worked for me too
My Blinkfeed only has United States option
Im in the UK and I am pretty sure my One is an import. It only has United States in the Blinkfeed drop down so I get no UK topics and services.
Does anyone know a solution?
Much appreciation
