Google maps/navi is usually bound to the system language, make sure you selected "Enligsh (US)" and no other app is fiddling around with that setting.

I thought the units of measurement in google maps is based in your location. For example if you're in china it could use the metric system instead of the English...

Why don't you just use Google maps?

Google maps has had me lost to many times it loses signal or thinks I'm on a different road especially in metro areas I was in Baltimore last week and i was on the correct route the out of nowhere it started to reroute.
ATT nav doesn't do it but its 120/year

ATT nav and VZ Navigator are basically the same based tele-atlas app I believe. I am not a fan of any gps app that has to have data to work. And I know that google maps can cache maps but it is a feature you need to set up ahead of time and when in need is when google maps usually fails.
Why don't you look into sygic or ndrive? Both use downloaded maps and require no data to use. Sygic is only around $24 for USA and they give you a free 7 day trial before buy. Ndrive also gives you a 7 day trial. Not as good as sygic but still a cheap alternative.
Both available on the market. Sygic uses tele atlas maps and ndrive uses navteq maps. Just FYI.
Thanks for the heads up I actually did see sygic in the market I will download and try out
Thanks again

Or activate Google labs and tell Google maps to pre cache your maps, it's a free option and I can attest to the fact that it works.

Can you let me know how you went about doing that

How 'bout Sygic Aura?
Have you ever thought about the Sygic Aura? There are some sites out there that will let you download the .APK file. Install it & then you just need a WiFi connection to download the maps & presto, your all set. It works great for me.
Good luck!

OK Google not launching Google now

Anyone else having a problem getting OK Google to launch gone now? It worked fine when I first bought the phone then stopped after a couple days. Then I rooted the phone and it started working again but then stopped after a couple days. I'm running stock rooted. I even cleared the data on the search app and it still didn't work.

Btw: U only can use it when the search bar is visible (Homescreens or on Google now)

I haven't changed the language and no I don't see the words but I used to see them.

It only works on US english.

It only works on US English but as the OP said, it did work before and he hasn't changed language so we can assume he is using US English.
It's an issue that I've seen crop up around XDA and Reddit and one I've had myself, so don't worry too much because I assume it'll be fixed in later builds. All that works for me is a reboot, then Google Now will detect 'OK Google' again. Try that.
"Ok Google" may disappear but feature is working
that's what is happening with me. I wiped the Launcher data twice to get back the "Ok Google" on the search bar
but it disappeared again and When I say okay google it works
A reboot definitely doesn't help. The only other time it came back was when I unlocked the bootloader and it wiped the device.

If the microphone on the "Google" search bar of the home screen is filled in, it is listening. If it is hollow (an outline of a microphone) then it's not listening.
Reasons it may not be listening:
A. An app has requested audio access (games, music, videos, camera, even if they're in the background). This is especially common with games that insist on running even when no longer visible. Swipe away the app(s) and the microphone will activate itself again.
B. Not set to US English.
C. Google Now isn't configured.
D. Hotword in Google Search settings is turned off.
Any of those reasons are common and considered normal functionality. If you can eliminate all of them then you're looking at something more in depth like ROM issues, broken hardware, etc.
The microphone is hollow.
A. It isn't a game or app because it doesn't fix with a reboot.
B it is set to us English
C gone now is configured
D hotword is turned on
I haven't changed any of the settings but I have double checked that the settings are correct. I read on Android police that other people are having problems with now but none of the problems are the same as mine.

Not sure if it'll work for you, but changing the language, back to home press the microphone and then changing it back to US seems to work for me.

I cleared the data on the search app which sucked because not only did it not fix the problem but it erased all my home screen app positions

I cant even activate Google Now cards! Also a lot of the settings are missing on the google search app. My language is set to US but i think google is blocking it here in my country
On my Note II i had it working fine!
The first picture is from clearing the cache and uninstalling all app updates. The second picture is the first page after activating Google now.

What do you mean you can't activate it?
Go to settings > accounts > google > search > and what do you see?

Have you tried turning Google Now off and then back on?
So opt-out and then back in?

GPS /maps really innacurate ? (Upside down directions )

I don't know why but a lot of times the GPS (or is it Google maps ) give me the directions turned around :/ I have to go north and it tells me to go south , does anyone else have this issue ? It happens quite often ,is it because my city (Berlin ) has cloudy skies and the GPS doesn't get good reception ?

I'm from Berlin too and I don't have any problems with GPS or navigation.

I had this, seemed like the compass was off by 90'. Install "GPS Status" or similar and calibrate seem to fix for me.

Not sure if you figured this out yet, but the same thing had happened to me a couple months ago. Check out my original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/google-maps-graphical-glitches-t2671752
I had this same exact problem (pics in my original thread) because I was running my DPI at 439. I had to use the App Settings Xposed Module to keep Maps at stock DPI. This fixed it.

Try the GPS Status Test & Fix app from the playstore, its free.
I'm out of data on my subscription so I tried navigating with Here maps (offline). GPS started working fin, but lost lock quite a few times and even for a few minutes. In a wide street with the phone on the dashboard..
It feels like a bug. Didn't try anything as I was driving. The phone runs L and is fairly new (2 months).
