I can help noticing that htc has cached map for desire hd. I know that there is a way to do this, but does anybody know if samsung will do this too? 3G is not available everywhere, it might be helpful and at the same time it saves some limited bandwidth.

Give Google some time. I'm sure it will be a feature in an upcoming release of their navigation apps.
Hopefully, that will be the case.
There is a modified google maps app that supposedly does this, I have not tested it.

I have not rooted mine, yet. But thanks for the info.
Hello all,
As you know, the US version of One S has no HTC locations and premium navigation.
Is it possible to have it so I could flash it to my device?
Thanks

Why would you want such a thing, when google maps is so much better?

Because google maps uses data as far as I know. HTC locations has maps preloaded so you only use GPS to locate places.

Good to know...you can cache google maps via wifi though, so unless you don't know where you're going, it's still probably better and more up to date.

G Maps it's better and it's free... with location you have only the firt 30 days for premium navigation than... you have to pay! It's better another navigation program (as copilot or sygic) so, if you are changing with another Android mobile you can sill use it.

Dude, Google Navigation is built in and probably one of the best GPS's I've ever used.

Waze, should be the best among the GPS apps in the US.
its uses the internet and the Waze Community to get information about traffic , police and such.
I use Google Navigation. By far the best I've used.

I'd definitely have to agree on Waze. Much more interactive, more customizations along with a beautiful interface.

another vote for Waze. It's like stock navigation made better by other users. If you're even a remotely risky driver, Waze will alert you of cops, road hazards, and better-than-default routes during inclement weather, traffic, or whathaveyou.
I'll say Waze too. Been using it since my HTC Fuze.
I recommend SYGIC, it was useful for me when i didnt have data plan on my phone
Trying out Waze...thanks

Depending on where i'm going I use Google navigation or waze. Google seems to be more updated so if I'm going somewhere kind of "out there" I use that but if if it's a fairly common place I'll use waze

Hey everyone, hope someone can help.
I love Google now, and use it every day. But I've been getting an annoying issue constantly.
I'm getting commute cards coming up all the time saying I'm 39 minutes away, 45 minutes away etc... from my home location. I did some closer looking and noticed that its not getting my correct location. Google Now (and Google maps) seems to think I'm elsewhere, when I'm actually at home. I also noticed that when launching Google maps, it shows the wrong location on boot, then fixes to my GPS location.
I'm annoyed by this because it use to work perfect a couple weeks back, and that I use this on a daily basis for bus route times. I can't use it now because its giving me bus routes and times from the location Google thinks I'm at.
Here's some information about my phone:
- Liquid ROM
- Latest Google Search from Play Store
- Wi-Fi off, GPS on, Data on.
Hope someone can help me out.

I use GPS Test https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chartcross.gpstest
(Actually I bought the Plus version for $3 because I use it a lot.)
Also, I found that when roaming, it doesn't seem to pick up location from cell networks. (I have data roaming disabled.)

It has the options to Clear and/or Update AGPS too.
Edit: ..and it looks nicer, but that's a matter of opinion/taste..

Using the aGPS helped a little while in motion and In Toronto, but google now/maps still thinks I'm in the middle of a creek/forest when I'm sitting comfortably at home....
Any other helpful tips?

It is enabled.
After doing some research, many people are saying that using WiFi will help out pinning my location.
So for my next test, im turning on WiFi, and disabling background location reporting. I found that background location reporting didn't do anything different to my Google Now data, and was a big battery drainer, making Google maps the top app draining my battery even though it wasn't being used.

How are you guys liking the new Google Maps so far? Click the link for the APK if it hasn't rolled out to your phone yet.
Just miss latitude
They are being very pushy about using g+ for services im used to using elsewhere

Agreed....this is a swift kick in the pants for me. I just got a bunch of family members to start using Latitude and now this. Even if I switched to G+ and got them to, I still have to set it all up from scratch. You can't import your friends from one to the other.
I've really been trying to NOT use Google + but, being a heavy user of Google Talk to chat, Google Voice for SMS, and Google Latitude for location sharing it seems I will have no choice soon.
I downloaded it this morning. I like it. I think the features are nice and its a bit quicker. Seems much more modern to me then the older version. I don't use offline maps, so it doesn't bother me too much.
I think also if you type in "OK Maps" it will save maps for offline.

Cool, thanks for the link. I installed it. It feels much more like Google Now with the 'cards' and layout and the what not.

Did you read the link in the OP?
You can get the new version there and then update it with the Play Store.
If you previously had Location Reporting off, this update to Google Maps turns it back on automatically.

It looks just like the iOS version that's been out for months now, as for functionality... It's better than the iOS version.
I think it's terrible, where have all the features gone? It all seems based around Google+ and social stuff which I don't use... where are my maps? I have a ton of maps that I update regularly on my pc that I use on my devices and now they are all useless.
This is a big step back

Does anybody know if it's possible to map the zoom function to the volume keys since they got rid of the zoom buttons on the screen? It's kind of hard to zoom out with one hand now.
