Hi.
Since upgrading to Marshmallow the only Navigation app that works well is Google Maps. All the others I have tried (e.g Waze, Scout, Here ) don't seem to be able to keep GPS locked and aren't able to keep up with my position. The only fix is to use a separate GPS lock app like GPS Widget. Has anyone else experienced this?

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?
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

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.

Hi my gps won't lock on satellites using waze or igo... Anyone knows how I can fix that?

You could try top ntp from the play store. It worked for me on my i9001 with cm9.
Read the instructions&Good luck!
You could try faster fix app to change the ntp servers and something else, search for it. Also GPS Status or GPS Test app has an option to update your A-GPS data for a much faster fix.
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?

I tried Sygic with an older version of Null ROM, the app was starting fine without the maps (but gave an error that they are missing) and when i installed the maps i only got black screen and crash..

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.
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.
