The navigation app was a part of Maps. When Maps updated to version 7, the nav icon disappeared. You can now just open the Maps app and tap the curved arrow on the right of the search box to get turn by turn directions.
If you really want it back you can uninstall updates to the Maps app and disable automatic updating and you can still have your nav icon.
Turn by turn is still there, it's just been merged into the Google Maps app. It's a huge improvement this way. Previously, Maps and Navigation were two separate apps, and the transitions between them were jarring (going from maps search to nav was ok, but clicking back out of nav dumped you to the homescreen, losing your search). They each had their own app cache, so you'd be waiting for the maps to load twice, etc... Seriously, the flow of the new Maps app is way better now. I've been using it daily.

Is there a way to let apps like Google Maps turn on my GPS without my permission? I'm tired of dragging the notification bar, hitting the GPS icon, and clicking "accept".
Hi there!
I would know if there is a way to lanch car panel with another gps software which is not google maps, I have sygic installed and I would like that the car panel lanuch sygic instead of google maps, is there a way to make this possible??
no one, really??
On mine, the last setting in the settings menu is default navigation program and I'm guessing it will show any nav program you have installed.

This is an odd and extremely minor problem that I'm not really losing sleep over. But I'm curious if other people are experiencing this.
Sometimes, not all the time, when an app that I have a shortcut to on my Google Experience Launcher home screen is updated by the Play Store, its shortcut on the homescreen disappears. I can't figure out if this is for auto-updated apps, or if these are for apps that I have to manually update. But I definitely have noticed a connection between updates and icon disappearances.
Am I crazy? Or is this a bug?
Me too

I thought I was the only one! It is a very strange glitch.
I think this happens when the application icon has been updated. Some apps remove the existing icon while others leave the (old) icon but the app drawer will have the new icon.
There are a lot of app icons that are "fuzzy" on the Nexus 5 so I would expect that quite a few are updated.
I've just noticed that the Google search bar on my home screen no longer displays my previous searches. I cannot see anything in the settings of the Google app that have changed.
Anyone know what I can do to get them back?

Can a mod close or delete this thread. It's suddenly started working again
After the google app got updated the behaviour of the swipe-to-search gesture apparently changed. Before the update you just swiped up from the homebutton on the homescreen and the cursor was placed in the google search bar. The keyboard appeared and you were immediately able to start typing.
Now after the update a new blank windows is opening when you swipe up that looks a little like google now. It showes the google search bar in the middle of the screen and you have to click it to place the cursor in the search bar that moves up to the screen after you clicked it. And then you're finally able to type.
Does anyone know a way to change that behaviour back to how it once was and is there a way to let the google developers know, that it sucks the way it is?
And is anybody sharing my anger about that stupid change of a perfectly working app?
