Does navigation works well w/o Compass feature?
Will it works well while drive ? Turn by turn navigation ?
Well it will work fine for turn by turn using GPS, as long as you have the location setting ended.

It has a compass doesn't it?
It doesn't have a gyroscope, not the same thing as a compass. I got my device on Friday and I haven't missed it, navigation works just fine.

I just tested skymaps and it worked fine. I tested by pointing at Polaris, and it showed correctly on skymaps.
Yes, there is definitely a compass. I have an app with a compass and the compass works perfectly.

Just like the captivate you have to start Google maps 1st restart the phone and open navigator ...see if that works it worked for me ...if not then press the back button when the navigation says "searching"

Make sure that you have the latest version of Maps from the Market. That's usually the culprit.
If you have a case on the phone, it may be blocking the GPS signal.
What worked for me....
I had to download Bing, it got a lock right away, then closed it and google maps has worked ever since.
had the same issue on my Tilt 2
I am having issues with my compass when using the GPS Essentials and Phone Tester app. Basically, these apps both think that the compass is always facing south or southwest. The compass in Google Maps is working though, so I wanted to ask if anyone else has noticed this issue. If not, could someone try to replicate? I am trying to decide if this is actual hardware problem or if Google changed the compass API or something.

Those apps are probably not compatible with Android 4.4.
I see you have a Nexus 5. Could you please try to replicate the issue, to confirm? Thanks.

Well, I don't really have a Nexus 5.
I'm here just to help.
I noticed my compass was wonky in Google Maps and GPS Status. In GPS Status there is an option under Tools to calibrate the compass, and it asks you to rotate the phone 1-2 times along each axis (so spin it in three different ways). After I did that, the compass started pointing in the right direction.
Has anyone also Problems with the inbuilt Compass of the One? Lately I wanted to use Google Maps while walking and discovered the Compass is working within Google Maps. So i tried a few other Compass Apps, where some do work and others dont.
I did create a Issue on this, but it seems I'm the only one with this Issue so far: https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/BACON-731
Im on stock CM11S, so it cant be any Mod / Custom Rom / Kernel Problems.

Compass issue related to encryption
Hi,
I have the exact same problem. At first, I thought it might be a hardware defect, but that isn't the case.
Is you phone encrypted?
As bizarre as it sounds, it seems like the compass stops working as soon as the phone is encrypted. I did a factory reset - compass started working again. Encrypted phone again - compass no longer working.
Daniel, if your phone is encrypted as well, please update the jira ticket - it will help the developers reproduce / fix the issue.
Bye,
Till
Same problem here, but not encrypted
My Phone is encrypted NOW, but I really dont know if it was back when I encoutered that the Compass does not work with Google Maps.
I will try to Factory Reset if Ive got the Time and see if this does something to Google Maps. I wanted to try CM11 (without S) anyway.
Prior to encryption, my compass was just way off. Generally around 25 degrees counter clockwise. Now that the phone is encrypted, the compass doesn't work at all.
Anyone know if these issues are present on the "Vanilla" CM11 snapshot and/or nightly roms direct download from the CM site?

According to the Jira Ticket, this also does not work on CM11 nightlys.
Compass was always broken even on Nexus 5. I was hoping it would be fixed in 1+1 and so many Google Maps updates and yet this is still an issue.
It doesnt even work on N5 when encryption is enabled? really?

Thats weird. but I dont see the connection to the OPO then, Compass is fine when Phone is not encrypted.
My compass works but it's just way off lol
//edit
Actually I just tried it now since maps got updates recently and now it's kinda right and isn't off by much
Phone isn't encrypted

cm11 night 20150105 ,not encrypted.
Compass only worked in notification drawer widget,all other apps didn't work.
My compass was 90 degrees off in Google Maps earlier today. It was 180 degrees off a couple weeks ago too. What causes this?
Same problems here. Anyone an idea?
Compass works on my end but the orientation is off 90 degrees in CM11 I believe. It really throws off walking directions but driving seems ok
try this. download GPS Status & Toolbox @ playstore. calibrate the compass, like here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rak2xhnk0qE
couldn't test it myself yet.
I just had a update on maps this morning and it works perfectly now!!! That used to be my only gripe with this phone aside from notifications. But since I got all my notifications to work now ,maps finally working makes this phone really great for my use!!!
What was the problem for Google maps? Mine worked perfectly since day one.

If I tried to open maps it would take 5minutes to even show anything,then it was pretty much unusable still cause it would constantly lag after really bad

I received a update for maps and it just started working correctly. Didn't have to do anything
My Google maps is still not connecting to my car Bluetooth. What needs to be done. Has anyone facing the same problem. I got Huawei p20 pro.
You are the only one with Google maps problem?
Anyhow this is what the you need to do, first delete ALL you smartphones under Android Auto from your car system settings, from system settings also remove Bluetooth devices, now in your phone remove Android Auto, Reboot phone and re-install Android Auto and plug in to your car run setup
i dont know if this has already been answered but i have the android auto connected to my car so i can use google maps as a satnav through my car system and mid directions it will cut out and go to the home screen on the computer interface. when i click back on maps it continues my journey but whilst on the home screen no directions are read out. its super annoying and was wondering if anyone knew how to fix it?
Hey guys! And what about Google Timeline? Does it work on your Huawei P20 Pro's? Cause I have a one which doesn't write a history of my positions, so my Google Timeline is empty? Does anyone know how to fix this?
Hello, how are you?
I'm trying to find some FAKE GPS app for android.
The problem is that the ones I've tried do not work, because the application I need to use for and uses the GPS of the phone identifies that it is a FAKE GPS that is running.
Is there any way to install some application that can "fool" this application that uses the GPS of the phone, so that it can not identify FAKE GPS, and that understands that it is the real GPS of the phone?
I used this one before,it worked perfectly
