Hello,
I need some help regarding the google maps application. Google maps are a big part of my phone and I always use it to get to places I am not familiar with, so it's a pretty important app to have. I have been using this app for a long time now and I also started to flash firmware and root phones. I am currently flashed to a pre-rooted version of Lollipop 5.0 and now my google maps is not working.
The problem I have is, when I start navigation the arrow or cursor moves into a random area and it glitches out it does not stay with my location, it always drifts off the map and goes into a different location and it's really slow to realize where I am at. I haven't had this problem EVER until now when I flashed my firmware, I am thinking maybe flashing it has something to do with this issue.
I am updated to the latest version and no matter what I do I still can't seem to find the solution as I been looking and doing some research for a while now.
If someone could help me find the solution on how to fix this, you would be a life saver and wouldn't know how to thank you.

As it is not yet published on the net by the time writing this post, I can't tell whats all new, since I need to explore it too.. however.. have fun ;-)
Trying to figure that out myself. Standby...
EDIT: after playing around for a few minutes, I don't notice anything different. I'd love to hear if anyone else finds anything, though.
Got a link to an announcement or anything? Could be updated for australia getting google nav tomorrow?
Move to SD?

Nope. "Failed to move application. System updates cannot be installed on external media."
The Australia Navi is my best guess, though I'm in the USA and can't confirm.
Had same issue at first (installation unsuccessful). So I uninstalled map updates from settings and installed again from the market. Worked!
New features were related to rating a place and getting more personalized search results. Also UI did feel snappier, imho
google hotpot maps 4.7

I had a weird phenomena. Checking under Apps i found 3 times the same instance of Google Maps 4.6 - that's why i went to the market to actually uninstall, and found myself with an upgrade available.
Still no navigation for Australia

It starts tomorrow (Wednesday).

Some people have had theirs enabled a bit early, so it seems like there's a bit of a staged rollout. Don't freak out if yours isn't enabled first thing tomorrow morning, might take even a day or two.
Google Navigation now available in Australia. Tried it at 11:55pm last night as soon as the update was offered.

Hi there,
I am new to the Android world and just got a Nexus S (i9023), and am playing with it quite a lot.
I have been using GPA17 ROM and kernel since this morning, and I am mostly satisfied with it, though I do have one question :
I was using stock ROM before, and could store in cache some parts of the map in Maps, just by selecting that option in the location. But after having changed to GPA17, I just do not have access to it, though I have Maps v5.9.0...
Does anyone know why, and/or how I could fix this? (or maybe, it caches map automatically when loading it?)
I cannot post in the Dev section yet, but I do have to wait at unlocking right after I switch my Nexus S on, the desktop takes time to appear (so do the drawer...).
Nothing new for me lol
I use Google Maps and always dl latest updates--
Under impression Maps is not rom specific
Am not on 4.2
My confusion is that some versions/roms give turn by turn directions with street/highway names and some just say take next right/left etc
Why?
Thanks in Advance for shedding any light on this--
I like using Google Navigation, but it has been messed up every since they tried to update it and make it better. Since their update to their newer navigation, it no longer works at all. My phone never finds the GPS signal. If I downgrade Google navigation back to how it used to be it works great. But it's a pain because it always updates itself with all my other apps when I update them. I've already researched this problem and it appears to be a well known issue with the new version of the app and now one appears to know how to fix it.
As a result, I was hoping someone on here could make a recommendation for a different GPS app that they think is really good. I would prefer free. But I would be willing to buy one if it really works good. Please let me know what you suggest. Thanks.
Ok, The best two navigation apps which works offline( only GPS needed) are Sygic and City Go
I use Sygic which i feel is the best!

Hello everyone,
I have GPS problems with the latest release "Slim-xt925-4.4.2.build.4-OFFICIAL-3648".
GPS is not available with GPS status or GPS Checker apps and I can't locate myself on maps.
When I run maps for the first time after installing Slimkat with CWM 6.0.4.4. (from my original rom "JB 4.2.1 vodafone-en" which is adapted for SFR (french provider)), GPS works well. But when I change gps parameters, or just change gps function with the widget controller, GPS doesn't work anymore.
I've got the same problem with other roms like CM11.
By the way, this release of Slimkat rocks in every point. Stable, fast and well build. Love it. Except that GPS issue. Don't know what to do.
I've read that it works with "dirty flash" or location could be blocked by "privacy protection" app. I also read a topic about the same problem but for Samsung galaxy S4 and peoples are talking about flashing the "pit". It's something I never heard before on XT925 flashing method. It may just belong to samsung flashing method. Or not.
I try to find a solution on many XDA thread and on other forums but nothing appear clear or understandable to me.
If someone have any clue about that GPS issue, it would be a great pleasure to read you.
Cheers.

I'm with same problem..... Still didn't solve that....
It was a bad commit on their last stable release. If you would read the Slim thread, you would see that they are aware of the issue and are working to fix it.
