[Q] Google maps won't rotate when turning

Hey guys,
While in navigation mode, the maps always show the north at the top, and it won't auto rotate when you take a turn.
I thought it was a Google maps thing, so I was using another GPS software till now.
But today I saw a Galaxy Core, and the maps rotated automatically at every turn!
So, is it a device issue? Any input?

I suggest you using Copilot GPS! it's free and support navigation without 3g on...Google maps navigator it's not that good.

Hey. Thanks for the tip, but as already mentioned, I do have a third party GPS software.
Nevertheless, the question is about Google Maps / Navigation.

Gps not working properly

In my device Gps in google maps is not working properly.
First time it wont show the exact location after closing and reopening it sets the location correct. But if i move, it can't track it and go into grey dot.
But the google navigation works perfectly.
Anyone else facing this issue?

I am facing the same issue but on LineageOS 16.0. I tried to use GPS Locker to find satellites but none were found. I was also using the magisk optimized GPS file replacement. If anyone knows anything, please help. Not having GPS sucks.

My GPS on stock android is also not to good. Sometimes it shows badly my location and often it does not detect directions well. Arrow is pointed in wrong direction and when I move it is moving to the sides not forward. Also when I launch Harry potter game my character is also walking sideways. I tried to calibrate compass but is does not help to much.

My issue is gone now... I did nothing different just regularly updated my phone...also haven't tried any of there games so can't confirm if this is present there

Google maps get out from navigation mode after a while

Hello everybody,
I bought a POCO F2 Pro short time ago and I am facing some annoying issue with google maps.
- Many times, out of nowhere google maps exit automatically from the navigation mode. It doesn't close the app, it just stop the navigation and come back to the page where you can see the overall trip.
I disabled the battery optimization on this app but this didn't solve the problem.
More over:
- Maps does not recognize spotify, so I don't have the controls in app
- and the floatig windows is quite "buggy" some times it disappear, some times it resize randomly
Any help you can give me for these issue it would be really much appreciated!
Thanks a lot

Gps issue while driving on google maps and waze...any solution?

I am experiencing frequent gps disconnect problems both on google maps and waze. While driving. Its like on google maps blue dot randomly stops during navigation and then after sometime suddenly catches up to me. Its really frustrating during driving.
I have also tried gps status apps from play store and they show same behavior. I have tried all options available on internet but no improvement. I remember that said issue was not present in initial miui build of poco x3 and has surfaced during recent updates.
Is anyone facing said issue and any remedial measure....?

Update:
I have done some trouble shooting and it seems that gps connectivity remain stable when i disconnect mobile data. Tested through offline navigation through google maps.

I had the same issue and disabled location access of Android Auto. This solved the issue with jumping or sliding positions on navigation apps

Question Gmaps Navigation without screen on on phone.

Hi all,
Recently got the watch 4 and this has been mind boggling me since the day i got it.
Is there any way to have Google Maps update the location on the watch with the screen of on the phone?
Navigation works fine, but as soon as i turn off the screen on the phone to put it my pocket, navigation stops updating on the watch. I guess it also stops updating on the phone as the screen is off.
I have tried several things, give location access at all time for maps on both phone and watch. Also removed any battery restrictions or power saving features for maps. Also checked the sleep lists in device care on the phone, but maps is nowhere to be found there at all and cant be added.
I did write with Samsung support and they did actually confirm that this is not a feature and that phone screen has to be on/phone unlocked for navigation to keep updating..
Is there any workaround for this at all?
Phone is a a52s 5g and it is already going mental sometimes in the pocket even when locked. God knows how many pocket screenshots I have of emergency dial with endless of numbers input.

Thats most likely a samsung/oneui problem rather than android's/watches fault.
Location updates perfectly (tho with a bit of delay) with my redmi note 7

Yes I believe so to, so maybe it was better to post this at the a52 forums. Just thought maybe someone was in the same boat as me here.
Been a happy xiaomi user for years, why did i jump on the galaxy bandwagon now
