As I'm also finding a solution for it and seen another facing same issue in some another forum so included it here any help regards this.
I have tried Google Fit and several other fitness apps from Google Playstore (Runtastic, Endomondo, SportyPal, SHealth, Sports Tracker, Strava etc) and the Huawei gives more errors in work out parameters than my old Samsung device for GPS based results. The device is good in all other respects including GPS navigation, just cannot seem to add up accumulated track distances properly using the GPS chip that tracks several different nations constellations of satellites.

Hi All,
I was searching for an app that will show the GPS position of my phone realtime in Google earth. I found Ipoki (www.ipoki.com). It's a great app for tracking phones in google earth and google maps in realtime.
However.. The app keeps crashing on my phone on random intervalls. Anyone of you using this app and do you experience the same problems?
Does anyone know a replacement for this app (just in case i can't solve the crashes). It is important that the location can me viewed in Google Earth. I tried latitude, but the update frequency isn't very reliable.
Thanks in advance.
Isn't this the same as Latitude from google maps??
---EDIT---
sorry didn't read good.
Currently there doesn't seem to be any easy reliable way to track an Android device via Google Earth (apart from Ipoki which seems to have trouble on the Hero). Presumably you mean using Google Earth on a PC and creating a network link to a kml file?
The only apps that come close are Instamapper and Glympse, which offer live tracking via a map on a webpage.
I used to use http://www.mgmaps.com/ on Symbian devices; you can configure a auto-updated kml file which sits on a server and you can point to from GE for live tracking. This works really well, but the app doesn't work on Android yet (though apparently it DOES work with the custom ROMs since they support Java). Keep an eye on this as I think it will work well with the new ROM, and I believe the developer is working on porting it to Android.
It looks promising and i am running the customrom from modaco. However can you point me in the right direction? I downloaden the generic app from the site and put it on my sd card. However, the javabox doesn't show the file, so i can't open it.
Check the forums on mgpaps.com, there are users there successfully running it on the Hero.
I am planning to go on holiday soon and after a good few hours googling I found that Android STILL has no GPS solution!! (amazing as its the biggest mobile OS at the moment and its been around a good few years...)
Just want to make sure Im not missing something here, because if there is navigation software for android I have missed and someone knows about please let me know!!
Google Maps is completely useless as I will be out the country and data will cost an arm and a leg. I am not going to "Cache within 10 miles" an entire country either. Cant imagine whose good idea it was to have internet-dependant GPS.
I seen some other software out there (copilot, etc) but seem of low quality (which I dont mind!) but are limiting in which countries they support, I haven't seen any with Chinese maps...
I used to have an N95 with Ovi Maps which was awesome! I assumed as its old-technology now Android would have something similar.
Alternatively, if anyone here has brought a Nokia recently and are not happy with it and fancy swapping it for my o2x let me know (sorry but Android is a pile I mean SMS doesnt even show the right time stamps lol)
Sorry if its a bit of a rant. I just got a 24 month contract with a phone that basically allows me to browse facebook whilst taking a dump in hi-res but not much else. My own fault for not looking into android first though...
Seriously, if anyone knows any software that can do the job, please let me know!
Try Navigon. I used it on my iPhone and I loved it.

Use sygic aura

I used Navit (totally free) this summer. You can download offline maps directly from the app, or best from Navit website, you can find tutorials on the net (the advantage of this method is that you can select specific areas of interest if you don't need the whole country map).
Maps are Openstreet maps. I think you can import other formats but I didn't try.
Maps are updated once a week, on Friday I think.
navigon works great and uses offline maps (you can download the maps on pc or on phone thru wifi or datanetwork)
Igo excellent, way better then johnjohn uhrm tomtom
i´m using navigon europe, works fine !
no mobile data connection needed, maps (whole europe) get downloaded to sd card.
so you can use in different countries without costs ...
I have tried ndrive and works well. Downloaded maps for my country so didnt need to use data connection

sofar ive tried the google maps, sygic, navigon, and igo and i found that sygic was the best for me. they all offer pretty much the same thing except google since its not offline but sygic had the newest maps.
Unlock your phone and buy a prepaid SIM card, that way you'll be able to use Google maps as well as all the niceties hat you're used to while traveling.
iGo is the best I've ever seen. You can download the maps to the SD, so data won't be a problem.
Sygic makes a lot of mistakes during navigation:
-Wanted to make me turn in a oneway street
-Tells me to turn right on a strait road without any streets right or left.
For me still google maps till Tomtom will be available.
cheers everyone, appreciate all the suggestions. will be checking them out see which one does the job
theres a lot more available than I thought! so cheers!
I also flashed Cyanogenmod, much much more happier with Android in general now
Consider waze, free, community based gps

I just joined the android family and I am currently living in China, so I am also looking for offline/turn by turn navigation for android.
It can be paid solution as well. What I need is detailed and accurate maps for China.
using ndrive, and everything fine, it gives me correct directions and advise speed cameras

Look out Navit or it's better fork ZANavi. It uses openstreet maps, offline, free. Not as sexy as paid solutions but works good.
You can download maps from the app, or use this to select a custom area: http://maps5.navit-project.org/
Does the Gear Live have a workout mode like running and cycling on my Neo 2? I use it everyday and have to have it on there.
Sent from my LG-F400K using XDA Free mobile app
I am sure it will eventually have apps like Runtastic and such that will work. Just curios if it has any out of the box.
Does this watch have built in GPS?
Gear Live actively tracks your steps & heart rate on-demand; no workout mode currently available. GPS data obtained from paired device. Fitness apps are forthcoming, for instance Viewranger is releasing app with Google Wear support http://www.viewranger.com/en-gb/abo...offers-active-navigation-through-android-wear
Ok thanks for the info.

I'm sure this will come very soon after release. I see it being a main focus with these devices.

Runtastic has now updated to support wear fully. It has cards (displaying the usual summary info you get on phone, or something similar to what it does on sw2 already). And actions such as pause, start, view map etc. In fact iirc they have updated their screenshots on google play to show off wear functionality.

Yup...it appears that apps are starting to receive AW updates. Another fitness app recently updated with AW functionality is RunKeeper - pretty cool app; it integrates voice control.

it has to use the smartphone to tracking the activitys. can't use the android wear it self alone like fitbit, or gear neo.
I am using Huawei Mate 10 Pro (BLA29) for about 3 months and even from the start I noticed that location history on Google maps is not reported correctly. GPS locations are pretty inaccurate and often not stored at all, entire days are missing. Navigation on Google maps and other apps is working great, no problem with GPS positioning or other issues.
Anybody else encountered this problem and more importantly did you managed to solve the issue?
Hi all. I've been searching for days trying to find clues or answers as to why Waze isn't working properly on my phone. When I start Waze The screen is blank except for the blue circle meant to show your location, speed and report icons and the bottom search bar. "Searching Network..." is written in red at the top.
Initially I thought there was a problem with the GPS not responding but subsequent tests have proven that Waze is indeed receiving coordinates from the phone's GPS. So I think it's looking like a communication issue. The app is unable to load the maps or create a route. However I am able to search for destinations but only in the immediate area. When a destination is found and I click on it Waze goes to the screen where you would normally see the route and other information but then a popup says "destination not found. Review the location and try again". The same thing happens regardless of using data or WiFi.
I've opened up all of the permissions for Waze. All of the google related items in microG settings are disabled. Unfortunately I haven't been able to test whether Waze would work on Lineage 16 for microG would work on this phone but I had it working previously on a galaxy S5.
Any thoughts, similar experience and/or advice would be greatly appreciated. I'd really like to get Waze working.
- Moto G7 Plus 1965-2 (lake)
- lineage-17.1-20200923-microG-lake
- Waze app release 4.67.0.4
- MicroG services core version: 0.2.12.203315
- NOT rooted. No TWRP or Magisk
This might be out of date already (21 days ago) but perhaps might help you:
Why doesn't the most recent version of Waze work on MicroG

Thanks a ton koimr that did the trick! I'm not sure if I'll bother updating from here but it's working like a charm.
