Is there anyway to just have google nav running without having to type addresses? It should just follow you around and show you where you are and where you are going etc.
I don't always want to type a destination address.
there is a live wallpaper that is google maps that follows you
If u just open the maps app it Should just go to ur location until u ask for a search or something

I believe he's talking about having the Google Navigation screen (like if your using the turn-by-turn directions) up and running without a destination. No, that's not possible
is there such an app ?
like whereever i go with the phone, i want to chart it on google maps.

There are lots. Be more specific if you want more specific apps.
If your a google man, then there's a perfect companion to Google maps. It's called My Tracks and made by Google (Yes, I expected it to be called Google Tracks too )
Careful on battery life though.

Instamapper - very plain but works and doesn't kill the battery.

Livetracker will plot your location and speed on a personal Google maps page in almost realtime.

Cool, I had no idea Latitude had the option to store history. Enabled
I can't find Google Maps on my TF300. There is no icon on the desktop and none in the installed apps screen.
However, when I go to the Google Store, it allows me to update the app, then allows me to open the app. It runs fine. After I close it, the app disappears and I can't find the icon.
Somebody clue me in... Please !!!
Have you looked for just "Maps"? That's google maps. On mine there was an icon on the desktop when I got it.

There is no icon named Maps, Google Maps, or anything similar. Since I did not delete any apps, it has me wondering about 'hidden' apps.
Did you download the Maps app?
I have maps on mine, starting from stock.
On the home screen, swipe one screen to the right. It's in a folder called "Google Services".
Make sure in your app drawer you are under the apps tab. Not sure if it exists on the stock launcher, but on apex i have a downloaded tab and it doesn't show any preinstalled apps under that tab.

My 'Google Services' has 4 apps: Search, Messenger, Google+, Play Store, Gmail, and Talk. My Settings screen shows that Maps is a Downloaded App.
Still no sign of an icon - and no easy to start maps. Am I the only one with this setup?
Strange, I've got 10 apps under my google services. Search, Messenger, Google+, Play Store, Maps, Places, Latitude, Navigation , Gmail and talk. And I haven't messed with that icon. Are you too far in to do a factory reset?

I'm sorry that you can't see my screens . I still have only 4 items under Google Services. BUT, suddenly Maps appeared in the App Drawer. I have not used the tablet all afternoon - so, no changes by me.
It is disturbing that we have such different configurations - right from the factory.
Go to market and download.....resolved.

Go to market, it says installed right? Uninstall and reinstall from there.
Google Maps "Can't Connect" to any searched location using my Google Account
This is a little strange error I've started facing since last 2-3 days. I'm not able to search for any location on Google Maps using my Google Account on my Google Pixel (Android Pie). Whenever I try to search any location under the explore tab I get a toast "Can't Connect". However, if I try to switch to a different Google Account on Google Maps, then the search work absolutely fine. Also, when I try to search on desktop version of Google Maps using the same old Google Account it works absolutely fine. I've tried uninstalling all updates to Google Maps, clearing data, clearing cache but no luck. A few other people have also reported similar issue on the Play Store page of Google Maps. Please help me on this.
It sounds to me like it doesn't like something in your Google account settings; maybe some privacy setting, or something.
Have you tried testing while connected to different networks?
I have installed:
a) Google Maps Go
b) Navigation for Google Maps Go
I open Google Maps Go in Firefox,
set up my trip for navigation,
then there is only a button for 'navigate in app' ..
then I click on that button and it takes me to the google playstore in my browser for 'navigation for google maps go' .. but this app is already installed ...
I just want to do navigation by google maps go in the browser as it is meant to work
