Navigation App - HTC Droid DNA

Somehow I accidentally deleted the Navigation (blue arrow) app that came with the phone.
I tried to find that very same app at the Play Store. No luck.
I go back to the Verizon Store and asked a rep how I can get that same app back on my phone.
He said I have to do a reset of the phone.
Can anyone tell me that I am overlooking something re: getting that app back without doing a reset?
Thanks
Dan

The Navigation APP comes with google maps. Try to download Maps from the store again.
If you cant let me know that I try to get the apk file and upload it to you

The new maps.

Worked just as you said it would.
Interesting how long term Verizon employees do not know stuff like this.
Thank you.
Dan

Glad I could help!

Has anyone tried the new maps on the DNA? Does it work? Any issues? And which apk is the correct one? I'm running a stock non rooted DNA.

Actually it turns out that the recent update to Goggle Maps will eliminate the Navigation app altogether.
If you (like I did) want that (blue arrow) app back you will need to uninstall the new version of Goggle Maps.
Then it returns to the old format.

Can you elaborate a little more about the app appbrain please. I researched it a little but just didn't completely understand it.
I don't either but once you sign in to your Google just go to the Market and push Menu->Downloads, and you will see the purchased and you can download it.

[Q] Tune In Radio - Installed, But not Installed

Tune In Radio is not listed in my app folder, but it does show up in Settings/Apps.
When I open up Google Play, it shows up as installed under My Apps. I was able to LAUNCH it from there, but other than that, there is no other way.
I got the bright idea to un-install it using Settings/Apps. Unfortunately, although it is now gone from Settings/Apps, Google Play still says it's INSTALLED! But the "Open" button is now gone, so now not only is it not installed, I can't even download it!!!
Any ideas on how to get it downloaded, and why it didn't show up in my app drawer in the first place?
If I'm thinkin right, tune-in will show up in the HTC music app....not as a stand alone app in the app drawer.

Well, I hosed that. It never occurred to me to look there. Since I uninstalled it, I can no longer reinstall it from the Play store. I tried to reinstall using Titanium Backup, but although the install reportedly went ok, it still does not show up!
I even tried to re download using HTC's download app, but all that does is redirect you to the Play store I'm not resetting the phone just to get it back either!

This morning I got the idea to go to HTC's support web site and see if I could email them about this. Under "Select your phone model", the EVO LTE isn't even listed!
They screwed up the launch of this phone, screwed up Google Wallet, and apparently don't even support the thing!
I ran into this as well... Hope it can help:

Thanks! I was able to download it from Amazon. I didn't think to try that because I got so frustrated.
I'm happy. Except for the Google wallet issue.
And the Sense slowdown issue.
And probably the next issue.

Region Dependent maybe?
I'm not sure though but Google Now may be region dependent? I have the same problem with the recent 4.1.2 update here in the Philippines. I will try to install a UK firmware and well see how it goes.

Google now is location dependent thus, it wont work on some network/country/region... just like google wallet. It was working when I was in the US but not here in the Philippines.

I have tried numerous ways to enter the correct command and this Tesla Led app will not show up as available.

I know I will be embarrassed but.....whatever.

Most likely isn't compatible with our res , you can sideload it from a backup, perhaps from another device.

The screen shot you are showing is the same one I find when I go to the Google Play Store....but that is as far as it goes.
You can click on the top selection of your post and you (at least me) cannot come up with the app to download.
It does not appear.

Yes! I see your post and your screenshot.
But when I go to the store I cannot make that app appear on my DNA as your post shows.
I get other flashlight apps available but not the one you show.
I can access that same image on my computer but not on my phone.
Wish I could tell you what I'm doing wrong.
Did you click my link?
Alternatively, try a simple Google search. One of the first hits should be a Play store link.

You said the search looks the same on your phone. Click on the first search option, the one with the icon, and it will take you to the app.
Or try clicking this.

I would like to thank all you guys and follow up on this.
I think I might have asked this question in the wrong way from the beginning.
What I should have asked is "can any member here click on the Goggle Play Store app and find the TeslaLed Flashlight app right there"?
No one here said that I won't find the app at the Store: what they said was go to your phone's browser and search there for the TeslaLed app.
Thanks to you I did find it and I downloaded it to my DNA.
Also the obvious fact that I'm new at this shows that I was not even aware that I might not find that app at the Store.
On the other hand if any of you DID find the app at the store then I have other problems which are better left alone.
It's better that I don't know that everybody except me can find that app at the Store.
Deep down there is a lot about software that leaves me (totally) in the dark.

P.S.
Have I rooted a phone yet?
Yeah......sure I have.

Off line is my favorite feature. Looks like we need the older apk to revert back. LOL
It's not only a favorite feature, it's a most important feature. I didn't update, and I won't, doesn't matter how good the UI is or gonna be.

Thanks but i don,t see any file in system/app related to google maps,which file exactly i shoul search?
Nb:i have installed your file directly overwriting the old file but i can,t see any difference with the old version and it,s no any offline save maps yet.
@
I had 2 files on system/app and data/app because I only the new had installed over the Installer. Now I deleted you and installed the 7.0.1 with the Installer and have only one file in data/app.
The new 7.0.1 has no offline maps.

What we want it to activate the navigation option. Every device with maps loaded also have the navigation icon however in some countries, when you click the navigation it says "your country is not supported but you still can check the maps". The "maps" find places, show them, calculates routes but it does not follow you, voice guide or re-calculate the route if you go out of it. It just shows you the ways like it was made with a pencil an a paper map.
Anyway, I have found an interesting solution, I have installed PA ROM and probably it can not tell which country I am in right now so updates every Google app to the latest version regardless (On Turkish Sammy ROM it did not see the update yet). And the navigation is activated vithout voice guide. But still it shows me the turns, follows me and changes the route if I go out.
