GPS Question: I know there is the paid AT&T navigator and also google maps. My question is, on google maps can you get voice guided turn my burn for free to avoid the $9.99 monlthy navigator subscription? If not is there any other free voiced guided turn by turn solutions in the android market for download?
App Quest: I heard that you only have "x" amount of memory to downald apps REGUARDLESS of the amount of memory you have on the phone or added by a memory card. Can someone shed some light on this for me.
Yes you can. Go to the market and download the update that's available for Google Maps. Then once in Google Maps go Navigate and it will tell you to download and install text-to-voice. AFter doing that, you get a "Navigation" icon in the applications folder, use that one instead of the AT&T Navigation one.

Yep, Just tested it out today (after removing the ATT nav app), and it works great. Took a while to pick up a GPS lock since its cloudy out today, but once that was sorted out, it worked just fine.
I found this on a htc sensation forum and am having the EXACT same problem : "I have a problem with my Google Maps. Each time I try to use Driving Navigation function, I receive the following error: "For voice-guided navigation, you need to install text-to-speech support from the Android Market." Then, when I click on "Install," I'm taken to the Market and I receive another message saying: "There are no matches in Android Market for the search: pname:com.svox.langpack.installer." Has anyone experienced similar issue? Any advice how to solve this?
However, if I skip the installation, it seems that there is already basic speech navigation installed because I hear "in half a mile, turn left"-- the GPS voice however is not saying the street name or highway name like my mytouch did" haven't been able to find any explanation and its driving me nuts because i use the voice guided nav a lot.. i have the 5.8 version of maps as well. im going to try uninstalling the updates and see if the previous version works but PLEASE HELP ME OUT
Go to Settings, Voice input and output. Select Pico TTS, but u must have it downloaded from the Market. This is what I had to do and I was having the same exact problem. Hope this helps.

I've tried several different TTS apps, and they either don't work at all in Google Navigation, or it's just repeating, "Make a U-turn at Goldenrod Court" at every turn. This happens on both my Amaze and A200 with ICS. I realize some apps are incompatible with ICS, but SVOX, Pico, Ivona, Google TTS... All of them do this. Is it just me?

I am trying to build a TTS wrapper for my app as a way to get TTS request into the app, then I send them to the chosen "real" engine. I've noticed that when getting directions from Google Nav, I get ALL the directions for the whole trip at one time...one after another.
Normally it gives one instruction, then you drive a while and it will give another instruction at an important part of the trip. Instead, I get instruction 1 through the end all at the beginning!
u can use SYGIC maps in place of google maps , then have voice turn by turn support n are also offline maps , one time download .... but yea they are paid ..
Just installed it and loving it. Supposedly will only run on 4.2 or higher unless you wait for the official update on play store. I was waiting for this so figured I would share the knowledge.

help if i posted the link...
Thanks! Seems great, can't wait to try it out
My HTC One on AT&T has not gotten the Maps update yet. I downloaded the APK from Androidpolice and it's working, but now I read there is a 7.0.1 update where they added the Offline maps selection when viewing the map (as opposed to having to type "Ok Maps" in the first release). However, I cannot find an updated APK for Android 4.1.2 devices... the two APK's I downloaded which were 7.0.1 could not be parsed because I'm not on 4.2. Anyone know where I can find the 7.0.1 APK for Android 4.1.2?
Also, for those of you with HTC One's, can you confirm whether addresses from the Phone application will open the new Google Maps app? On my device, if I click on an address from the Phone/Contacts app, it doesn't do anything now, whereas before it would open the address in Google Maps (on the older version).
Anyone else?

Same here. Actually, when I tap an address in contacts, it opens at&t navigator, which I am not using. I disabled it and now nothing happens at all when you tap the address. I was hoping that by disabling the at&t navigator it would default back to Google maps.
Also, if you just tap in the empty search bar, it will bring up the information cards. Just scroll down to the bottom and the option to store the map offline is already there in this version.

Yeah, somehow the contacts app just lost connection to the maps app with this version, so even if you don't have another app set as default, it just does nothing when you click an address. My initially was opening Glympse because I had that installed, but even after uninstalling it, it still isn't opening Maps. Definitely a bug between the HTC contacts app and the new Maps... which means it's probably not going to fixed for some time. I'm hoping that the upcoming HTC One update to 4.2 will fix it... but who knows when AT&T will be rolling that out. I'm not interested at this time in rooting my phone and installing a custom rom to try to fix this.
Thanks for the tip about the offline maps setting, I found it.
EDIT: There is still a way to get a contact address to appear in the new maps. Just start typing the name of the contact that has an associated address and it'll show up in the search results. Not as convenient, but at least it's a workaround for now!
I like it but driving along the navigation lags behind where I actually am

I received the 7.0.1 update through the Play store this afternoon (I'm on AT&T stock 4.1.2). When I click on addresses in Contacts it gives me the option to open the address with AT&T Navigator or Waze but not Maps. Not sure what the behavior was with earlier versions of Maps because I never tried it before now.

The correct behavior would be to ask you what app to use for links, including the Maps app. But since the link to Maps is broken, it is just asking you amongst your other compatible apps. If you don't have any other compatible apps, it will do nothing when you select an address.
Note that this just happens in the Phone/Contacts app though in Sense. If you use Chrome or another Google app that has an address or map link, it will still open in the new Maps. So it might be something HTC has to fix, or it might be something just broken with the API in the new Maps app. Only time will tell, but as I mentioned, you can start typing a contact name in the new Maps app, and it will show the address, so that's a workaround for now.
I had to uninstall and reinstall old version. If I zoom out past a certain point, the map doesn't render.. I'm on ARHD 12 if that matters.

It's hard to say whether it's your custom rom or not, but the maps renders fine at all zoom levels on my HTC One running 4.1.2 stock.
I havent facing the issues before
Today I update to the latest version of Google Search 3.4.16 it will fc but use bundle voice recognization there where no wrong
What is the reason cause this problem??
Are you serious? You create fixes but can't post in the right forum?

The fix is work(which I posted in omni discussion already)
(but that is not my main point in this thread....)
Current situation is...
My Problem is after applying the fix and updating to the latest version of both google search and google now launcher.it will fc when you doing the voice search using google search apk
not working when you updated to the latest version of google search 3.4.16 (so we can't update it.... otherwise will get fc always....)
Before that even I have been flashed the non-neon gapps or self-modified gapps package I still can update both laucher and search to the latest version through google play store and nothing error happen)
On the other hand, due to lack with my knowledge,
I can't do to much modified of the apps,We need genius guys to help us for fixing it completely(just like you)....
I still don't know why it will fc....(the wearied thing is if you are using voice search in google search widgets the,google search voice recognization still can recognize our voice and the words but after a few second it will terminated or saying google search has been stop working cannot show the search page directly )
if you are using keyboard to activated the voice typing or other apps (google play voice search area) related to the google search voice recognize,it will not get any fc and working properly
I have try many method(replace all lib which using by google search with non neon,pa gapps lib,change apk)
it only work on not doing updating also the apps should stay at the factory default(uninstall any update)
Here is my Logcat
Adam hope you can give me some clue on how to fix...
