I'm gonna throw this out and see what happens.
I just got Efficasoft GPS Utilities for my wizard. So far I like it, but it doesn't come with maps loaded on them. Which is the only thing that bothers me about it.
On their website, they say you can make maps using a google maps screen capture. but the biggest map I can generate is a 5 mile radius and that's no good to me.
Anyone have any ideas on getting some decent maps to work with it?
First off I'm using miui fascinate build from 4/4 and noticed something weird. Maybe its just on miui and you guys can check other roms. When using Google maps it never finds my location and if it does its not accurate has the bog blue circle. But when I use MapQuest on my miui fascinate it locks perfect location in a couple to a few seconds. Maybe its Google maps not playing nicely with the fascinate. Let me know.

I've had that problem with every ROM I've used with this phone. If I don't run GPS Status first, google maps/nav never finds me. When I run GPS Status though I get a lock in about 5 seconds so it's really not a big deal. It takes maybe an extra 10 seconds to open the app and get a lock then open google maps.
Q: Is there anyone who knows what map areas are available Offline with Google Maps 6.9.0 for Android?
Background: With Google Maps 6.9.0 it is possible to make certain maps areas available offline. As for Europe, this seems to be dependant upon where you attempt to make this happen. Most of Croatia (except Zagreb) seems to be unavailable, same goes for most of Italy except major cities.
The only way seems to select area with sea as most part of it. It's weird, I don't know if this is a bug or no...

Thank you, just what I was looking for.
Wonder why Italy and Croatia is missing, though...
downgrade
Is there any possibility do make a downgrade?
The offline maps aren´t aviable in Brazil.
How could they make a mistake like that.
ridiculous!
with the previous version i saved a couple of offline maps without problem. after upgrade, all the savings has lost, plus i cant get map for italy now, and i am going there for travel in a week time! how ridiculous!!
downgrade worked for me
I got hit with this too, I don't have a cell plan in Brazil and was relying on cached maps to get around.
To fix it I completely uninstalled the Maps application. Then searched for version 6.8.1 apk on google. There were several places to download it from. I then side-loaded it on my SD card and it is working again with the Labs feature.
What does side loaded mean?
yeah, its possible, and I have downloaded a map and used it as well..

Offline mode doesn't work very well; if you set data connection off and restart your phone for instance you will not longer be able to access saved maps.
Hey all, this is my first post on this forum. I bought a Dell Venue 7 for a tablet install into my vehicle to replace the radio. The tablet is in and everything is working but the navigation! When I try to input my route, google maps just sits in a constant "searching for location" state! I've searched this site and googled a ton and can't return any solution. I've checked the location services and tried my luck with some apps promising to fix gps location service, but no luck. The tablet is stock 4.4. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

I tested it using the app. It is only able to see one satellite at best. I downloaded "tetherGPS" and it is able to lock onto the position, but it won't display real-time position. It won't track it, I mean. Really irritating when trying to navigate because it won't track past my front door!

I have a Dell Venue 8 and gps work fine. I think you need internet to use google map. If you want to use in your car without internet then you need to download free or paid offline navigation app. BTW, I use Sygic offline map and it work very good.

I did a trip and used google maps for the whole trip and i noticed that im no longer getting notifications for directions. When i check the wear app where you can select which app to launch for directions etc it appears blank and i can't seem to select google maps. Ive reset the watch, reinstalled the app including google maps on my phone and nothing seems to work. Any help?
I think it's the new version of wear.
Same issue here.
Google Wear is a mess if you ask me. Nothing works properly.
