Hello, all
google maps 5.x is very useful and powerful, the map file is also very small.
but the biggest things is that there no anywhere to download the offline map.
Any knows how to easily get the offline map? except browsing the google maps manully and get the cache.
So I am in Korea and google maps is worthless for searching since the name of businesses are in Korean. I would like to save points of interest for future reference (For example the grocery store).
Any idea how to do this? I know on a PC I can use the map editor, but that doesn't help me when I am on the road, and I cannot find the place on google maps later. I would rather save my GPS location and give it a name.
Hi,
When using Google maps, if I set a destination and navigate to it, the ma just sits there and doesn't move when I drive off, nor does my location on it.
However if I stay on Google maps, and drive about my position is updated correctly but obviously I can't navigate that way.
I tried mapquest and that works with no problem as an alternative, but what the he'll it's wrong with maps?
Any ideas, I've already cleared Google maps in the apps section?
Sorry to reply without adding to the issue, but as I had not come across other's with this issue I want to confirm that Maps on my Galaxy S2 with Android 4.1.2 also does not update my position once I start navigating to my destination. But it does find my location before my destination is set.
EDIT: can anyone suggest a good place to put this query so that a Google employee takes note of it?
Edit 2: I reported the bug from within the Google Maps application. Hope there is some result.
As above - I understand Google has allowed certain areas to be downloadable, but there are also many others that are unavailable.
Is there any hack/workaround for me to use it offline and on the go? Otherwise, is there another compatible offline maps app that can use all the saved pins I mapped out on Google?
Thanks!
does anyone know??
One of the biggest disappointment in Galaxy Star is lack of GPS. Techno geeks (apparently google also) claims that apps like Google Maps can find your location by what is known as 'Cell Tower Triangulation'. But it doesn't seem to be the case.
So here is how the trick works. It tracks your location co-ordinates from your IP Address.
1. Download any app that can tell your location co-ordinates. The two apps I was able to find out are Location Tracker(Needs google play settings enabled) and IP Tools. [only one is required at a time]
2.Location Tracker- select Current Location and then Share my location. It shares a link. Save it somewhere like Colornote and paste in search bar of Google Maps, Maps.me app. (These two accept the links. You may try others.)
IP Tools- As you open the app(net required, off course) it will show your location co-ordinates. Tap there to copy them. Now edit them to get in the desired format (Ex:- 30.77777777,70.88888888) and paste it the search bar of your maps app (works with Google Maps and Maps.me).
Here you go. GPS in galaxy star.
Observations
Location Tracker
-"Turn on services on home page" error in Location Tracker even though it is on.
-Press back to eliminate ads.
-If you have location history on in Google Play Settings, it may show the last saved location of your device.
-Break functioning. Re-install from play store.
IP Tools
-Sends you far from where you are. Disconnect and reconnect the internet for better location.
