Did this fix your crashing in navigation?
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
I did update the app but I haven't tested it yet. Most likely it fixed the navigation.

LOL i love how google elaborates on their changes.........
Google Maps says
WHATS NEW
*Bug fixes
LOL
p.s. my navigation is working properly on meanBean with the new maps update
On meanBean. Nav still freezes and then I have to force close it
Unfortunately it's not fixed yet. I'm on stock rom. I used it today from school to home and it crashed after 20 minutes. We have to wait until htc fix it ugggghhhhh.

im not sure if you guys know or not, but if you click on the compass icon and put the map into 2d mode it stops (mine and several others from what i have read) crashing. again if this is old news my bad.
cant really comment on it fixing the crashing, only time i had google nav crash was the 1st day the JB update came out and i was on the rooted stock rom.
stock not rooted.
Still crashes after maps updated.
I use it ALL time, it's never crashed on me.
I'm on MeanBean
I would try a ##clrgps# or is it ##gpsclr#
Could be the maps are corrupt in some areas.
Also the is a way to clear the cached google maps, not sure where those are.
Still crashing after yesterday's Maps update. Stock, non-rooted.
I haven't experienced this issue. Are you all running deodexed?

I haven't experienced this issue either. Updated maps yesterday and took it for a spin, purposely having it rerout numerous times to try and trip it up, it worked fine. It seems that so many people have this issue, though, I was hoping for everyone that it would've been fixed with these latest updates.

PLEASE NOTE: This patch addresses application force closes on newer google maps applications (5.5-5.7) running on gingerbread-based ROMs for the ERIS. This does not address reboots/restarts (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1157099 for progress on this other problem)
After extensive testing on CondemnedCM7 V15, I believe that the Navigation force closes many of us experience on the newest maps version is fixable (at least on Condemned's ROM; GSB users report that problems still remain) by rolling back google maps framework files to a version used for Android 2.2 ROMS. I have been testing since last week and have not had a single navigation force close. My longest test was 1 hour 10 mins with multiple reroutes and no force close. One known issue, Map application (not navigation) will unexpectedly close (that is, will not offer a force close but will shut down) randomly while using the search box. I have not been able to consistently reproduce this
I am attaching two zip files flashable from AmonRa Recovery if you would like to try the fix. The first replaces the current maps framework with the froyo framework. The second rolls back the change to the latest gingerbread framework.
If you are using maps 5.2 which CS included in the system apps for v15 and are happy with the result, then you do not need to flash this file. If you would like to use the newest maps app (5.7), you may wish to try this.
In theory, this fix would work on an AOSP or Cyanogen gingerbread ROM, so if folks on other devices are having similar problems, they may want to try.
Good luck everyone!
NOTE: this is repeated from CondemnedSoul's CM7 thread. The attachments can be found there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15978440&postcount=535
Thanks for everything your doing on this issue.
I upgraded to 5.7 and flashed the patch. Ran Nav for 30 minutes and all was fine. Not sure when I can test longer but if I do I'll let you know the results.
Only got to run Nav for another 30 minutes today but she worked flawlessly again.
Glad its working for someone other than me!

Have to go get it myself.
klob, will upgrading to 5.8 overwrite the fix files, or should I have run the unfix before upgrading?
Either way all I did was upgrade and so far Nav has been running for 40 minutes. Not driving anywhere, just have Nav running while I'm in the house.
Upgrading maps app will not affect the fix, so if you want to find out if it works with stock gapps, you'll need to flash the unfix. Also, bftb0 on the gsb thread has demonstrated that desktop navigation is not a good test for force closes. I'd get it on the road to be sure.

I got to use Google Nav today and it wasn't the best. After 5 minutes it went shut off, just shut off and phone went to sleep. Opened Nav back up and after 14 minutes the map locked, never updated/moved, tough screen commands still came up along with menu but nothing worked. Rebooted and applied the fix that klobkelosh posted earlier and it didn't change anything, screen keeps freezing. This is all after full wipe and flashing latest CS v16 vanilla with 5.8 Maps.

Odd. I just full wipe installed ccm16sth with 5.8 maps and navigation worked fine. One thing I did was disable text to speech, maybe that's the culprit? You can disable by renaming system/lib/libtts.so.

GPS files the culprit?
Not sure if this will help but today running GSB 3.8 ODEX with Maps 5.8 (no framework mods.) my phone completely restarted in the middle of a walk. The thing is that I was not using Maps nor Nav. I WAS using TrackerBooster, an app that uses GPS to measure my walking distances. So maybe this is more related to GPS files than it is to Maps or Nav. As you can tell I am not a developer, so this may be all one and the same. Just thought posting it might lend a clue. Thanks for all you guys are doing to figure this out!

Something I noticed... making me wonder if it's memory allocation issue... after a reboot, going right into Nav, it still force closes but not until 30+ minutes,
If I haven't rebooted in a while and have been running other apps like, gmail, exchange, facebook, and the going driving with NAV the reboot happens right away
I've been having the strangest trouble with Google Maps lately, ever since the last update. It seems that most of the world works fine in it, but when I go to where I actually live (central Houston), it refuses to load most of the map squares (some areas are fine, but most of the map is blurry). After I try to load one of the blurry areas by going over it or zooming on it, the app locks up and force closes by itself, either just disappearing, or with a force close window.
I'm running a rooted device with a recent CM7 which hasn't given me any problems up to now. It does the same thing on 4G, 3G, and WiFi on two different WiFi networks. I have tried rebooting the device multiple times, clearing the data for the Maps app, restoring an earlier version of the Maps app through Titanium Backup, and nothing has helped so far. Even stranger, the map in Car Locator seems to work just fine. It's been like this since Friday night.
What makes me wonder if there's a bigger problem is that the exact same thing is happening on my Transformer Pad TF300 tablet, running stock Ice Cream Sandwich.
Any ideas what could be causing this or what to try?

Just curious how many people are having issues with stock Google apps and the stock browser after the ota update. The Gmail and maps will get stuck on a white screen as does the stock browser and the play store will just lock up on whatever screen it was currently on. Google wallet will freeze during the unlocking your device notice. These are the only ones I have found so far but I had none of these issues before the ota update. A phone restart will fix it for a period of time but I'm currently having to restart my phone 2 times a day to get the apps to work properly again.
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
I also forgot to add that during the restart after the screen turns off you can will change the ring volume up and down and hear it change for 2-3 seconds before the phone actually does restart. I noticed this when I had my Bluetooth headset still connected and it was not telling me it was disconnected for at least 4-5 seconds after the screen turned off unlike before the update when it was no more than a second.

Mine does this as well, the only "fix" I have found for it is rebooting the phone. Then it works for a few days until it randomly decides to freeze again.

Also been having the same problem since updating, most noticable with the browser just being a white screen. Tried wiping cache & dalvik cache again, doesn't seem to help. Stock ROM with S-OFF. Surprised I haven't seen more mentions of this problem, but perhaps it's not widespread?
Well as I've learned over my time at xda updates are always catch 22's. That's why I choose to wait and read users feedback on how the latest ota is functioning. However none if this is revelant to your issues just figured I'd post it for future reference. Also have you guys tried a full wipe of your current rom? After you make a backup of your data of course to see if that will help ??

Yeah...I was having the same problem after the ota, but after a couple of reboots things started to work right.
Im having this too, is getting very annoying. Sometimes i just want to use the phone quickly for something and have to re-start the phone... I feel like breaking it against the floor.

I wound up here after searching for this error, which just started with me yesterday with the browser (stock). It just displays a white screen when I try to use it.
I've had the latest update (flashed with 1.22.651.3 odexed ROM from xHausx and firmware from Captain Throwback) about a week now and this just started happening yesterday.
Yesterday I somehow got it to work again by clearing the Internet cache and then I performed a search from the Google search bar and all was well. I was thinking at the time that it was stuck on a particular page and that this got around it. But that fix isn't working for me today, so I'm going to try to clear dalvik/cache from twrp as recommended here and see where that gets me.
It's good to know I'm not the only one though... I wonder if there's anything else more specific we all have in common since we seem to be a fairly small subset. Maybe we all flashed the Odexed update for example?
EDITED TO ADD: Appears to affect Gmail too. And possibly several other Google apps as mentioned here and in other threads. Since there was a Gmail update I did yesterday, I'm going to try to uninstall that as mentioned in this other thread I found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1810829

NOT helpful at all since it affects not only the stock browser but other Google apps as well.
Refer back to my original post which I updated with additional information.
I've found if I reboot and never use the stock browser I don't have the white screen problem. I set maxthon as the default and act like the stock browser doesn't exist.

I reverted back to the previous version of Gmail yesterday hoping that would fix the problem but it still happened. This morning when I clicked an email notification from my status bar, Gmail did the white screen thing and needed to be shut down manually. Just to verify that this and the browser incident were related, I tried to launch the stock browser and it too was white screen.
So those of you suggesting to install an alternate browser to get around this issue need to understand that this is a lot more widespread than the browser alone. For me, both my Gmail and Google Offers were white screens this morning upon trying to launch them so it definitely appears to affect all Google apps.
Yeah this happens to me as well. Its really bad now. Nothing fixes. It does it on all the roms with newer OTA for me. Only two roms will work for me without this problem. I have tried everything. Wiped everything, Reflashed, Checked my sd card, factory reset, you name it. It even does it on restored roms that didn't have the problem before. I don't know what to do....
A developer told me to try and manual flash boot.img through fastboot but I'm not even sure how to do that. Need to read up on it.
I have had the issue to wear when I am trying to open the browser app, it will actually freeze the entire phone until I hit the home button repeatedly in play store will not load anything until I fully restart the phone I've tried fixing for missions do a nandroid restore nothing seems to work

I'm on rooted stock (latest OTA) and every few days all of my google apps will stop responding (Maps, Wallet, search, etc.). I can open them, but they never get to the main screen of the app (just a blank screen). Rebooting it solves the issue. I haven't noticed any correlation with other apps running. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this? I've finally got my phone the way I like it and I'd hate to hard reset if I don't have to.
Thanks!
I just noticed my gmail did that this morning. It might be because of the recent app update. Either way, it's only happened to me once so far, so keeping my fingers crossed.
I've done a reset to fix this and it did.....for a while but now it's back. I have to reboot or Google apps won't open fully, they just hang.
I have the same issue with Gmail, navigation and sometimes the web browser. A reboot fixes the hang but who wants to do that all the time.

I am having the same issues. Reboot fixes it.

Try getting the logcat for the event. You can use "alogcat" from market. Search on how to use logcat ( it's color coded for obvious events). Magic bit ( "self" changing) events are more difficult. "Autostarts" from market will let you see your spinlocks, so if any unrelated app has the screen or some other resource then you've got the cause.
Uninstalling the gmail updates had no effect. Happened 3 times in the last 24 hours. Getting very frustrating.

I have the same issue as well with gmail loading to a white screen. I've tried doing a force stop but that didn't help, which made no sence when a reboot fixes it.
Mine started doing this too, only started about a week ago. I always have to reboot too, very annoying.

Are you using a custom launcher? I was using Apex launcher and it worked awesome for the longest time. Recently my gapps started locking up as well so I uninstalled Apex and haven't had a lockup since. I did NOT reboot after uninstalling Apex, and the issue has cleared up.... Give it a shot if you're using a custom launcher.
I am running the stock with the OTA update (no custom ROM or root) and I'm seeing this as well. Good thing is, this has nothing to do with your custom ROMs. Bad thing is, this is a real issue that seem to be affecting everyone!

Just do as huludical has said here. So far this is the only fix that has been working. Something with the Wallet fix in the OTA starting screwing up the way many other Google apps communicate with their servers. By disabling/uninstalling Wallet and clearing the data/cache for Google Services Framework and then a quick reboot and the issue is no more.
Granted, this means, that once again we are unable to use Wallet but that's a small price to pay when the alternative is having Gmail, Maps, Chrome etc etc freezing up every day or so.
Is there an update to this situation? I am UN rooted and this is happening to me
I'm running the latest 9/16 build of CM9 on my Note with AT&T and for the last 4 weeks or so have had NO problems. Starting yesterday I was getting "unfortunately, maps has stopped" messages. Got a couple of them, then all was good, today it started again. I reverted back to 9.1 stable but am still getting the same message. I found a thread in the Nexus 7 forum regarding the same issue but no resolution. I have the latest maps version 6.12.0 and have my GNex and Xoom at my desk with me (GNex running on T-Mobile and the Xoom on Verizon) with no issue whatsoever. I did clear cache and data in the map app and rebooted as was one possible solution in the Nexus 7 thread but that didn't seem like it was a permanent fix based on the other comments.
*AT&T is currently converting my area to LTE (outside of Philadelphia) as we speak though I can't imagine that impacting the maps app but I figured I would mention it just in case.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
This may be wildly coincidental, but I experienced the same messages after trying to install Google Now on CM9. I then re-wiped and re-flashed without issue.
I've been running the latest version since it was posted and I have not added anything new...strange I have not had a single error message since 3 this afternoon??

Have you checked permissions for maps ??
Or fixed permissions for all apps ??
Often times the permissions are wrong ...and the app will produce errors or force close ...
Just thinking out loud ...g
Also ....
Maps is highly dependent on the services framework ....
You could also delete your account info and set it up again ......using the data wipe option ...then load maps again ...g
Again ...just a thought ...g
I have never touched the permissions don't know even where to go to check them?? I will do a little research when I get into work and see if I can figure it out thank you for your advice.
