It's about freaking time. The BRUT hack is awesome but it's nice to have the official stuff work.

Great news, thanks for the heads up! I was actually in the process of shopping around for a paid app that did this.
awesome..,
still not available for dowload on the market though

Not sure about everyone in the world but my X10 here in Canada came with the google Navigator app pre installed.
well, the app is installed, its just won't work lol.
it's too late now but before when you try to navigate it will not find a route.
Brut is awesome tho, so I am just glad that it works now.
However, I am messing with Brut's caching function so I might still use brut's map for general map search.

I don't know what you guys are talking about but it works here in Victoria, BC Canada. I just did a test from my house to Wendys =). It gave me turn by turn and was impressed with the accuracy of the route. It was quite smooth when turning too. I purposely made a different turn and not follow and it would automatically re-route. Nice

Does it show you the street view all the time? Mines only shows the pic when you need to turn. that's it.... Don't know why.
Hmm. Mine still says navigation is not available in my area (south western Ontario). Anyone else getting this?

You mean the map? It does. It would also say the street name when it needs me to turn.
For those trying to find the "new" version on the market. IT DOES NOT EXIST.
Canadian navigation has just been unlocked on Google's end. The 4.2.0 version that you have, that has been out for awhile, will work for navigation now.
got it on x10i.
works really well. bus routes was awesome.

It turns out that it is not available from the market in Canada but I installed it and it seems to work now.
Sorry to drag this old post back up but I just got my X10 last night (coming from HTC Magic) Simple question (most likely dumb) does this use your data at all or is the same as using a standard GSP? I seem to hit my data limit every month just don't want to push it over.
Thanks
Clinton
Yep, is using data.
Thanks, guess it wasn't a stupid question after all. That's interesting, guess I'll be using the GPS instead. Not much of a feature then is it.

I have a rooted phone. Im going to the Daytona 500 this weekend and thought it would be cool to listen to the drivers and such. When I try to download the app from texting NASCAR to 7777 it says I dont have a compatible phone. I suspect due to the root.
Anyone have this app I can download and throw on.

The app worked great today. It allows me to listen to drivers and team chatter from the different cars.
Its a great app for Nascar fans, albeit, Im not a huge fan. But being at the Daytona 500 and being able to listen to the teams is fun. Its was a great race.
Thanks!

No, it doesn't work or at least it is extremely buggy.
The app is sort of a portal for NASCAR news and also provides telemetry, scoring and audio feeds on race day. Its actually a great app if you're in to NASCAR (which I am) but its basically un-usable on android. It was slow on my blackberry but at least everything worked.
When I used it on my hero, the backlight would time out and the app would not update data. Also, it was just plain buggy with some screens not even loading.
I wish they would fix these issues.
Wow! I just upgraded to dc 2.1 and downloaded the Sprint cup mobile app and its running like a top. So fast and everything seems to work so far. Most functionality doesn't kick in until the race starts so i'll report back later but so far I'm just blown away. This is the way stuff is supposed to work!
I just wanted to follow up: the audio did not work during the race yesterday. No audio, no options, no nothing. Everything else I tested worked fine except there is no keep-alive option and the leaderboard is a little flakey when the phone wakes up. The audio may have been a Sprint problem. They are just as flakey as their software. Have to try again next week at Martinsville.
any way too?

Probably not. I'm guessing that data must pass through a Sprint proxy to prevent that. That's just speculation, though.
Yeah
Yeah it installs fine...but wont even run before sayin im not sprint or nextel. This is friggin stupid id pay sprint to use it. VZ had this app for years until Winston gave up the NASCAR sponsorship
Any clue what may be wrong with that apk thedudejdog? I have installed many apks and never had an issue. I install this NASCAR and it installs...but when I open it, the app just stays on the main screen and says its loading for 3 minutes or so...then it reboots my phone.
Any help?
Well if your not on Sprint it wont work. That's the issue some of us want fixed.

Just search google for the apk and sideload it...
Edit, Shazam is back not sure whats going on with Where.
Edit2, Where? must not be available on Rogers either. I use Poynt. It's just as useful to me.
WHERE isn't available from an AT&T connection, as they have their own WHERE on their Android phones.
How it's filtered I don't know.
thanks guys. I have t-mobile but Shazam and Where is still missing from Market. It must be a carrier thing but I thought we all share the same android Market. I even tried a search for Poynt and that wasn't in Market either. I do have the apk for Shazam and I tried to install it but It failed (the same install worked last time). So I think these two great apps are gone for good from T-mobile.
I can find Shazam here in the UK.
try sound hound. blows shazaam out the water
I just checked my market (Motorola Droid running CM v6.0.0) and both Where and Shazam both show up. So it must be a carrier thing, not an Android Market thing.
Such a shame but thanks for recommending Sound Hound. It works great. One down and one to go.

Have you tried the market enabler? I was told something about changing regions but I've never installed it. Might be worth a try if you have a free minute.
nope no different. anyone know of an app that will replace "Where"?
bump 10chars
Every phone "shares the same Market" as you said, but we're not allowed to walk down the same aisles. Developers can filter their app to not be visible by certain carriers or in certain countries, so you may not see it on T-Mobile but somebody on Verizon might.
As for Where, there are a million of those location awareness apps that can replace it. They may not be as good or to your preference, but Poynt, Yelp, Geodelic, etc. might do the core features.

IMO, Google Places and GasBuddy replaces WHERE. If you really want the food etc type stuff, add Yelp too.
Or download the WHERE apk I suppose. It's around.
I have a nexus one running cm6 on T-Mobile USA and both of the apps show up on the market just did a quick search to make sure
The PayPal Mobile app disappeared for me from Verizon's market after I upgraded my Droid X to 2.2. Apparently it's still visible to 2.1 users, presumably since Verizon has been so slow about officially pushing out Froyo. I finally tracked down the APK and all is well.
The geographic/version limitations of the market are silly in the 'big picture' but I guess they make sense from a business standpoint for the carriers and everyone else getting a piece of the pie

This is the Sprint Telenav.
Opinions on this vs Google Nav? I've been using Google Nav since day 1 and have never tried Sprint lol. :/ Am I missing out, or should I just stick with the big G? lol.
I used google too but then I heard that sprint is better... and it is.
I think google navigation is way better....I used to use sprint navigation and when I got my Evo I haven't used sprint navigation since....google is much more real time vs Sprint navigation....alot of the times it would tell u to make a turn after u have already passed it...google maps it just on point....the only thing I miss is the fact that Sprint let's u know in advance if there will be a delay in traffic....other than that....Sprint nav. Could kiss my a$$.....lol....so I say stay with the big G...

fact is telenav is the best nav. now, what program thats using telenav is a different story.
for me its faster to find and get directions via google maps than it is sprint nav.
anyone have the 6.2 version ?
Google nav in my opinion is better. Wish i could use different voices tho like darth vader maybe
Personally I think the Sprint App is much better than the Google App as far as directions. The Google App may look better but that is a personal preference.
I've found that with Google, directions can get really screwy and send you a way you would never go if you were/are familiar with the area. The biggest problem I have with the Google version is that once you get outside of larger metro areas the actual maps are not as accurate. I don't know the source of the maps but I have found that Google has many more "paper" streets. Paper streets are street that do not physically exist. At some point design plans were approved but the road was never constructed. Unless you like offroading, it gets really annoying when it tells you to turn but there isn't a road!
It's easy to choose what app you like better as they can both be run at the same time. You can't make both of them show up on the screen at the same time but you can switch between the 2 by swiping down the task bar. Give that a try and see which one is better for where you live.
I prefer Google nav. It is accurate in my area, and it seems to integrate into the system better. When I get a calendar invite, p.o., or any kind of addy in Outlook, I copy, open up my iGoogle home page, paste it into the map widget, and the highlight the star. When I get in the car its on my phone. With Telenav you have to log onto thier website and add the address manually. You can still copy/paste but you have to go back and forth first copying the street address, then the city/state/zip, and then give it a label. If I have a meeting at XYZ mall - 7777 anyroad anytown, usa 77777 I can copy/paste the whole thing into maps and it will show up on my phone labeled with the phone number, mall hours, the ability to search for a restaurant/hotel nearby, etc.

I like them both.
telenav is cool is because it saves the no toll/hov/traffic option, the three route options come up before you start, it reroutes around traffic, and the voice is better (except for the few random streets in that weird voice.
Google navigation has the advantage of being integrated with other apps better, and it looks better. It also doesn't repeat the same upcoming direction an annoying amount of times like telenav.
Question - has telenav ever told you tour destination was in the middle of a freeway? Google navigation has done that to me more than a few times.
Now that we have a new TELENAV version for SPRINT I saw someone say you need the premium version @ $4.99 a moth for it to do traffic routing? I dont see that listed as a premium feature... is anyone paying for the premium features and is it worth it? what exactly do you get (anything different that what you see when you click GET PREMIUM??)
Thanks ...

I have motonav Nav N Go 8.4.2.11 running with resolution 800 x 480 only, so it only a portion of the screen, but it work good, and utilized the GPS well, I wish they have a xoom version coming soon.
I'll just second the Google Navigation. I tried it a couple of times and it worked great. It wasn't really a reason for me to buy the Tablet, just added value.
google maps is a completely different app.
for me, I use CoPilot live, IMO it's the best out there right now (even speaks street names!) that has full Canada and US Maps.
Google maps is good for taking a quick peek at where you are going. I only have my GPS on when I go cross border, so if I were to stream maps off google's servers over my 3G connection, I would get dry anal raped by my bill.
I'm also using copilot and so far it is great. My old TomTom is falling apart so I need a new gps anyway, so this will keeping me from buying another gadget. I've never seen a gps unit that is as fast as the TF is running copilot.

Either of those scenarios you just mentioned are great, but voice commands w/ S Voice would be more useful (if it can even do this - I know Google Now can get me this info from my phone, but S Voice on the Gear currently just comes back and says "sorry, we couldn't find the answer to your question".
Also, if your hands are full, what makes you think that opening up and typing a web address on the watch's little screen will be "hands free"? You can't even interact with the watch without touching it with your other hand.

How would you navigate an app or browser without using you hands/fingers? Your football score scenario is already accomplished via ESPNs Score Center app. It can be configured to send notifications based on team preferences (i.e. notify of scoring plays during your fav team games).
And now that I think about it, if only the Google Maps app could be configured to send turn-by-turn notifications, we would sort of have GPS on our Gears.

oh I forgot about the turn by turn functionality - Pebbles can do this, even though I never got a chance to use it since my phone is mounted on my dashboard. Would be useful when walking in a city, though - without keeping your phone out. The problem of course is the watchscreen turns off again and you have to touch the watch and navigate to the app again to see the next direction.
