I've been trying to find a nav app that will let me import pre-planned trips.
In my research I found only two; 1) copilot, 2) HTC Locations with Trips tab.
Well I can't stand #1, and it seems that #2 was only available in Asia, unless I'm missing something? it seems like a feature that should be standard as it has since the first days of dedicated gps devices but it still hasn't arrived on Android, not even in the Google suite of apps despite the constant posts in the Google forums requesting this function.
being able to create a specific route or record a route for the purpose of sharing and reuse I don't think is a lot to ask.
until this happens their will always be a market for a dedicated GPS.

Try this … Orux maps … market link https://market.android.com/details?...t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5vcnV4Lm9ydXhtYXBzIl0.
Web site has a help forum … http://www.oruxmaps.com/index_en.html
I only use it for Aviation and I import maps with preplanned flights.
It supports a number of different maps that can be side loaded on your sdcard so no data connection is needed.
Edit ... I forgot to add it's Free
that's a nice non-data tracker, like Google's My Tracks without the 3g map, thx..... but I still can't record for vehicle nav with text to speech which is what I'd really like.

I purchased Navigon assuming it would do this, but it doesn't. Great app otherwise.

that looks like a perfect companion to my Colorado GPS! I tracked our whole summer holiday with it, but it's be great to be able to see that track on a mobile device (that's a bit larger than that 2-something inch screen that my Colorado has )
Google Play Music is now live in the UK with the new Music Matching service. I, like many, used a UK/US tunnel app about a year ago to be able to get Play Music and have been enjoying streaming my 'owned forever' (Spotify etc...) and not on my device (iStuff), so why do I need a 32mb phone!!!! (Galaxy Nexus (Nexus 4 when they finally put it up for sale) ever since.
However, now the difficult bit comes......
How do I change my Play Music Account to switch my email from the US site to UK?
Cheers,
Tim

I thought it would just work?
I am in the same boat, haven't tried it yet though!
It appears all that 'frigged' to US are not able to use the Music Matching service. I am quite happy to have all of my music 'removed' and re-upload with Music Matching. There is also the issue with Charts and Purchases still being in US and therefore I cannot buy anything as my 'card' is UK based.

Well I havent bought anything via the US store, I just use the music storage and streaming facility!
Me too, but with the UK Wallet now getting 'cards' and 'gifts' it means we can give/request them as Christmas presents!!!!
Im in the same position, but am not seeing any sort of option for this at all?
Same scenario as the rest of you - UK user, created an account via proxy last year. Scan and match service not working.
In desperation I deleted my entire library to see if this would reset the account - it didn't! :crying:
Have opened a support ticket with Google, will post any updates as and when I hear.
Will be monitoring this thread to see if anyone has a fix

I have a "frigged" Google music account I activated via proxy too.
I uninstalled Google Music on my UK GS3 and when I reinstalled the app the shopping bag was in the Music with prices for songs and albums in GBP.
On my Xoom with US ROM I forced stopped, cleared data and un-installed updates, then updated the app via the play store and the link to the Music Store appeared, this time all in GBP
I have deleted my library and will be watching this thread as music match is, in principal, a great solution.
Just to let you all know - I've had a reply from Google requesting a screen shot of the 'Google Recommends' page listing all song prices in US Dollars.
We'll see where we go from here!
this is very frustrating!
got my nexus a couple of weeks ago and got a bit over excited so signed up for google music using a proxy, then after seeing the poor upload speed I have, decided to wait for the new wonderful scan and match service - so far I haven't got it to work, tried deleting everything from before, including anything I had already uploaded - but it just won't match anything for me, have managed a couple of hundred tunes uploaded in 15 hours, but I'm away tomorrow so my grand plan for using the match service is well and truly rubber ducked!
if anyone figures this out, please shout, very loudly:good:
Same problem here, set up by a proxy 6 months or so ago. I would delete and re-upload by library (even though this would pain me with 10K+ tracks) but it doesn't sound like this fixes the issue. It's all very frustrating.
I will submit a support ticket too and hopefully Google with fix it. Admittedly it is our fault for bodging it, but in fairness Google didn't make it too difficult to do and weren't seemingly bothered. After-all it is only because we're all Android/Google enthusiasts that we bothered doing it in the first place! Fingers crossed for a fix ASAP.
I have received 2 emails back from my own ticket, both not of use:
1. Change the upload location (it's not the upload location of issue)
2. Check my wallet has a UK address (it does)
I have asked for them to change my 'Play connection' from US to UK, or delete my Play subscription completely so as I can reconnect.
Note, like a previous person, I have Clear All Data on my app and Uninstalled Updates. Reinstalling from the play store now bring up a new app with a 'Shopping Bag' for GBP purchases (however, I am still a US user!!!)
How do you know when it is enabled?

cause the uploads shouldnt take as long.
any update on this guys?
i send a support thing in and got an email explaining how to shuffle my songs
Update on my ticket (not fixed)....
Google: Did you ever use a US IP address as a workaround to get to Google Music?
Tim: Yes, to be able to register for Google Music (before it was available in the UK) I used a Tunnel app to set my IP to US and then registered. Once Registered I set my IP back to UK
Google: Can you see if you were tyo change your IP to its true location the issue persists?
Tim: I am back to my true location. Google Music only checks the IP location on 1st setup. After that you change it back to UK so everything else works. When I access google music from any device it goes to the US site
Google: To be clear, changing your IP back to UK the issue has resolved itself!!!!!
Tim: No, it has not resolved itself!. "Repeat of previous message", i.e. 1st setup of GM needed US IP, then you set your IP back. If you access from any device - all with different IP's obviously!!!!!! then I get to the US site!!!!!
Does anyone else anything useful from their Google Techs as mine is clearly not aware that IP's exist on different device and generally are not static!
AAARGH!!!!!!

thts pretty funny
What worries me about all this is that we're all dealing with different members of support staff, all of whom seem to be oblivious to everyone else's problem. That suggests to me that it hasn't escalated to anyone who has evolved opposable thumbs that there is a problem to fix....

well if theres a forum post there and publisize in this thread
So, brand spanking new Lumia 920, gorgeous, easy to use etc.
One problem, is there any way to change the search options in the browser?
I'm talking about when you type a search directly into the browser address bar. There is the option to choose between google and bing but the search results are displayed in the mobile format despite having set the view option to Desktop.
I really can't be bothered to have to go to the google site every time I need to search something. Yes I know Bing is there, and I'm completely sold on every other aspect of it as well as windows, but this is the search engine I have been using for years and I don't want to change any time soon.
Has anybody found some hidden option or setting somewhere that could sort this out?
Go to google.com
Pin To Start.
Now just tap that tile to launch into google search every time. You'll need to set the settings on the google site for mobile or desktop view.

Yes, Go to the settings>advanced settings for the browser and set the default to Google.
I think Google is playing with Microsoft

I believe Google also has an app in the store.
1. Download
2. Pin to Start
3. ......
4. Profit
Had to do that
First off,
Sorry moderators If I choose the wrong subforum to post
Today, I was warned by Google about some behavior with my account and suggested to change my pass. I thought was due my 3G experiments and new IP etc.
Later, testing everything was alright I see a Samsung tablet added to my Play account on November 22, 2012, but don't have one. Only had Motorola and all the time.
Then, I saw my Google account was accessed from Russia but also from United States. And I'm not living there, neither two countries. I see US was the first external Country added to my activity report along November, and Russia was added on December.
The strange thing is Gmail not displaying any strange IP, only local IPs from my computers and phone.
Minutes ago, checking what was download from Market I've found lot applications I never installed. Adults and Games applications.
Do you think this can be because some android apps?
I never downloaded from other sources than market but used custom roms form this lovely forum.
Do you think it's some kind of market problem when devices are identified?
I would like to remove that apps not downloaded by me and the device itself. But seems there is no way to do that.
Any ideas will be really appreciated.
First of all, I would recommend you stop experimenting with your IP . Secondly, you can remove the downloaded apps from the Play Store list but it's a time-consuming process.
1. Open Play Store.
2.Press the Menu button and select My Apps(Phone) or click the Download icon(Tablet).
3.Click the All Tab.
4.Next to each app, there should be a cross or some other icon.
5.Click it and the app shall be removed from your download list.
6.Celebrate !
7.Hit thanks if it helped :thumbup:

Hi,
Thanks for the advice about IP. But this should not be a problem.
This probes how stupid become some companies within time. And we accept his stupidity.
How Google allows connections to your account form a different country than the one you're living?
Small companies have this security option by default.
Two steps verification is one option but not the final solution. This is basis 101. Now I know Facebook or Yahoo are a lot safe.
Now the problem is to remove from my account the android device I don't have.
Some friend says Facebook only needs a search engine to kill any players and seems he is right. I'm very disappointed by Google and unfortunately I have to stick with or move away to Apple.

Whoa man! No need to take such quick actions due to some small flaws Google allows the access because you were still using your phone which is synced to your Google account during the process of testing your 3G and changing IP.
I'm on KitKat for VZW Moto X, and there is something that I've always wanted to know on the latest Android operating systems:
When I use Google Now to conduct a search, it will show me a search results page. I can choose a link, click it, and then go to whatever website is linked to that particular result. Let's now say that I jump into my email and stay there for a while. Other than opening up my recent app tray, is there any way to return to the website I was just visiting based on my Google Now search? Intuitively, I would think I could click my default browser, but it's not there. Then I thought I could click the blue Google icon in my app tray, but it's not there either. Going back into Google Now doesn't even guarantee that I'll see the search in my history. Any ideas?
