+1 same issue

anyone? ................

my google maps works, this only happens on my google navigation GPS thing

did you clear app data>uninstall>reinstall?
i dont care for google nav any way, it seem problematic on the captivate. a few times it worked perfectly and other times it causes the gps to crash on some roms. on others the positioning becomes eratic one trip not the next. the most stable my gps has been on a nav program is with navdroyd.

I was noticing the same problem when Google maps did a recent update. Try going into the market place and uninstall the update. If that doesn't work try upgrading to a 2.2.1 rom like Preception or Darky's. When I went from a 2.2 to a 2.2.1 it seemed to fix the problem.

I was having this problem with navigation. It stopped after I went into places and did a navigate from there. After that I could go into navigation without the issue.

Click to expand...

I also did something similar to this. Instead of Places, i picked a random location from within Google Maps (long press) and then chose to navigate to it. Worked fine after that.

Gps Maps VS Nav?

I have noticed that when i try and find my position with google maps. i have issues. However, its a million times better with nav. Am i having gps problems or what? any1 else thinking they have problems try the nav program.

I have issues with NAV. It seems to take FOREVER to get a fix on my position and i'm in a car with a sunroof and it's open (not that it should matter).
I got some hokey answer from HTC support saying to clear the Google Maps cache, turn off the phone, remove battery, and then put it all back together and turn it back on.
Oddly this seems to temporarily solve the problem but then it reoccurs. So it's not really the answer.

I had noticed the same thing. With mine I could get a quick fix going into navigation from.the car home but not going into maps or navigation directly. Have you downloaded the app gps stat? It has helped a lot with mine, now I get a quick lock no matter what

Google Maps Not saying Street names randomly

I noticed that Google Maps Navigation is not speaking street names very randomly. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. I can't seem to pinpoint why. A temp fix is to swipe away the navigation in Recent Apps, and then re-do the navigation. Is anyone experiencing a similar issue?

I have noticed it too. Clearing the cache for Google TTS also is a temporary fix as well as a reboot. After the phone has been on for a while, there seems to be some sort of 'switch' that makes navigation not say street names anymore. I've tried many different things and have still not found a solution. Very frustrating.

Google Navigation Constantly Rerouting. GPS issue?

Hey, so lately Google Navigation has been rerouting my trips for no reason. It almost seems like if I hold the phone a certain way it thinks that it's going in a different direction. The issue is becoming very annoying. I'm on PA currently, and might switch back to stock and see if it still happens.

Back button exiting app instead of default behaviour

hi folks, having a bug on android 10 where the back button will randomly exit apps instead of whatever the correct "go back" behaviour is. difficult to say if it's more common on some apps but i'm certainly getting it heaps in spotify, instagram and google photos. anyone else seen this? difficult to estimate frequency because you only notice it when it happens, not when it doesn't. but sometimes it'll happen 3 times in a row before going back to normal. can't find any reports of this. i'm using the 2-button navigation. anyone?
