As many of you know, the latest google maps adopts ar to give directions through signs appearing on camera. Did anybody find a way to make it work on our x2? Other arcore app are working ok (like measure, etc) on our device.
Google Maps with ar needs the user to be Local Guides level 5 and above and (unless a recent update changed it) to be on the google maps beta program.

Is it faster than the previous versions on cm7?
Well, I didn't see any noticable upgrade in speed. Still you get the newest version
what about screen resolution
when i update google maps from market the map is not that clear and takes more time to load on cm7 but flashed version of gapps-mdpi-20110301-signed works fine. am i the only one facing this problem?
i have attached screen shots of mdpi and updated one please help
That is common to all maps versions above 5.0. Fonts are not clear on small screen devices. But there is a option to enable large fonts in Labs. Enabling it makes the fonts more readable. But still other signs are blurry. What is the maps version in that gapps bundle you mentioned?

Does navigation work on countries which normally don't ?
Ever since Google started allowing offline maps (both in the old Google Maps incarnation, and in the current one), I have found that when I download a map section for offline viewing, often there are many details missing (small street names, for example).
Does anyone know if there's any way to make Google maps download map tiles to their maximum level of detail (the level you could get if you zoomed in all the way), including all street names? You'd think this would be a given, but it seems not to be.
Searching around for discussions of this, most articles and forum threads are just about tile caching in general, not level of detailed cached.

Hello Tim,when i travel long distances i use an app called locus,it has many options plus offline maps with details.
Google Maps doesn't offer Offline Maps for China, Here Maps also revoke their support for China Mainland. Is there any Offline Maps App which support China and is easy to use for english speaking foreigner? Baidu Maps is nice, but only usuable with some chinese language skills.
OSM based Apps aren't a alternative as their Map coverage is very limited.
There was a "hacked" Google Maps App couple of years ago which allow to download offline maps for every country, but it's not working anymore. May there are other "hacked" Apps for this, now?
Or is it possible to download Chinese Offline Maps with Google Maps using a VPN from inside China?

Hello and welcome to the XDA Forums Q&A section.
I found an app that is hopefully what you are looking for (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.mapof.china&hl=en). If you intend to use this while walking it is probably not recommended since a guy wrote a comment on the app saying:
Your app is excellent however I have found that when I put in the log/lat coordinates from google maps of specific point they do not match. They seem to be out by 500 metres. For example google map reference of a point in Beijing is 39.9075797 / 116.399314 The same location on your app has is : 39.90618 / 116.39313 I would assume that the coordinates from google are the accurate ones. After trying this with a number of different locations it seems like this 500 metere offset is across the board and perhaps the starting reference point in your app is not precise enough.

If the app is not what you are looking for, kindly reply and enjoy your stay!
Hopefully I helped you and if I did, hit thanks .
ThisApp based on OSM, so the map quality isn't good. OSM is banned in China, thats why nobody help to improve map data there.
Just bought the vivo iqoo pro from China, and using it in Canada.
initally your timeline was good in google map after the installation of the google play service and google map from vivo app market. For some reasons, the your timeline stopped working, and found the location hitsory is off, and not available in Canada. After checking the google play service version that had been upgraded to the latest version.
the only solution is to uninstall the latest version of the google service play, and reinstall the original vivo version of the google play service, then the google map returned back to work. however, the google play service upgrading cannot be stopped intentionally, it looks like automatically upgraded by the system evenif stop the app update in the google play store...
So far i have to uninstall and reinstall the google play service every other day for keeping the google map running... any good solution or the alternative app that similar as your timeline in the google map and share the location with others?
I guess this is not only happened in vivo, also on other devices the ROM from China, anyone has the similar issue and what is the workaround...?
Thanks!
I also have an Iqoo Pro and its telling me that location history for Ireland is "not available in this country", is that what you are talking about? I've looked over my "your timeline" and I have no Entries since i got this phone back in September, Its not something that I'd use to look back over where I've been and the routes taken. My maps works well and I use Waze also, However I went into Goog maps on my laptop here and my timeline history is on so its definitely the phone, but to answer your earlier question, no I don't have a workaround to an issue i didn't know i had, Did you contact Vivo to ask them ?
same here. i think its because our device is not certificated by Google
Any solution for this? Have same problem with iqoo 9 pro
Hi,
I plan to degoogle my phone to clean memory and avoid spying.
I found an alternative for every app but I can't replace google maps because i'm working with the uber-driver app and this application search for the google maps binary to allow navigation once you click on its "NAVIGATE" button (It opens the required itinerary in the google maps application.)
What i need is a fake Google maps apk that is installed as "com.google.android.apps.maps" and that will make a redirection of the given itinerary to another maps app of my choice ("Here Wego" and "Maps.me" are awesome alternatives)
As i know there is no such app inside the nanodroid package.
Is it a planned feature from microG or is there a such application somewhere ?

I don't think just replacing the package name of another maps app will do the trick, because it's likely that uber integrated more deeply google map in their service rather than just "calling the app". I'm not sure tho as I never used it.
Re:
No it is not so deeply integrated.
Their own maps are deeply integrated but when you choose to use google maps as navigator in settings it will opens Google maps as a separated app (new window) once you click on the "navigate" button.
The problem is that uber detects only google-maps or waze as alternatives external apps for navigation.
If your phone's Android is rooted you may consider to redirect the APK from installed Google Maps app ( /data/app/com.google.android.apps.maps-2.apk ) to APK of another installed maps app of your choice ( e.g. /data/app/com.here.app.maps-2.apk) , means to create a link.
not sure

It's not sure it will work since Uber detects the installation of the Google Maps app.
If it's an in-depth analysis, a simple symbolic link won't be enough.
I just found a fake maps app inside this package :
https://github.com/ronnayryukay/microGISG
I'll have to try it.
