Tried this way, fail at bat2. Posted some other ways through terminal.

[ole_rascal]

Been waiting for this. Looks like it's finally time to upgrade my ROM :)

[Crickoit]

Worked like a charm. Thanks for the post! Now I will never be lost again and I can finally go buy some bread at the store.

Which method did you use? Tried adb, failed. Getting ready to try through the terminal.

[Crickoit]

I used the method on XDA straight from the desktop. Did you mount your SD card?

[Crickoit]

Is there a good voice codec to look for in the market? I want some sexy Australian voice telling me what to do.

[ggrant3876]

I got it done through terminal, adb wouldn't work.

[iskamel]

Ok i can't even get started...i can't mount my phone...and yes I do have cyan 4.2.3.1

You won't have to mount your phone on either of these. Both of these work through the terminal, I used the first link.

[Crickoit]

For some reason my phone wasn't mounting either. I rebooted, mounted and then it ran fine from desktop.

[ole_rascal]

ok, so upgraded my ROM and i was able to get it to install. what i did was copied all of the unzipped files (except the adb ones) into the tools directory of my android sdk install and viola!

you could also just edit the batch files to point to your tools directory for adb...

Nice, isn't it. Once you hav Navigation you will see a screen like this.

[TheJuan]

yeah i want to do this through terminal, but waiting on yall results

[ole_rascal]

something is wrong here...i installed and re-installed it, i get success all the way, but i don't get the navigate option...wth? maybe i should try it through the terminal...

[ole_rascal]

hmmm...did it via the terminal still no love... :( maps are there, but no navigate option.

I did mine thru the terminal but I used 2 different links. I did the 2 builds from this link.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4921092&postcount=196 And since I already had the new maps.apk installed I used the second link to install the maps.apk.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4921911&postcount=292 After I did the ash, remount and install, nothing. Rebooted and it was there.
I know this is kind of convuluted but it worked for me. I already had the Eclair maps. If you don't already have the new maps.apk just try one or the other.

That's the 1st one I tried, run part1.bat worked and run part2.bat failed. Now that I think about it, it was probably because I Already had the new maps.apk.

[ahugo68]

only if it worked on the mytouch :(

Yup, that's why, also for some reason a lot of people are having to uninstall google voice as well to get it working, I didnt. I am trying it on a Hero Rom now.

[ggrant3876]

Put it on your G1. I've been looking for a car cup holder now that we have turn by turn navigation, for free.

it took me four tries but i got it working .
this is how i did it (i changed one step from your directions). download and unzip the build.zip file onto the root of your sd .
download-->http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=245297&d=1257915476

in terminal type(type exactly . watch for capital letters , spelling , and spaces)..

su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cp /sdcard/build.prop /system
cp /sdcard/build.trout.prop /system
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
rm /system/sd/dalvik-cache/*Maps*
rm /system/app/*Maps*
ash
mount -o remount,rw /system
install /sdcard/Maps.apk /system/app/
reboot

after you reboot , you will notice that there is no google maps icon . go into your drawer , its now called maps .

Mine did the same thing, I think it's because we already have the new maps. I used part of another post.
C) Terminal:

su
ash
mount -o remount,rw /system
install /sdcard/Maps.apk /system/app/

Did this through the terminal, rebooted and had it. As simms said it's just called maps.

[ahugo68]

rebooting fingers crossed tried it on my mytouch

[simms22]

when i get to rm /system/sd/app/*Maps* i get an error

oh yea , i got that too . skip that step , i forgot to edit it out . sorry . it should still work if you keep going though . just ignore it and keep going .

didnt work going to try again

i edited post #28 so that it would be right for future reference

Still having problems. Followed the directions with no errors, after reboot google maps
gone and found the new icon called maps in the app drawer. Still only get show on map and directions, no navigation option. GPS is on.

[BadBoy]

Got mine working the first time thru the terminal instructions posted. Skipped he one step mentioned. But instead of the last step I used Root Explorer to install the maps.apk file and it installed perfectly.

After I tried the instructions through terminal, everything seemed ok. no
errors with any commands. I had the new maps icon in my drawer but
navigation still didn't show up. so all i did was install the map.apk again, nothing else.

[constellanation]

so i just started looking at this and maybe i am missing something completely (i have to be) but when does the file get to the phone in these instructions?

Now you can upgrade to 4.2.4!

[texas_born]

I'm beyond frustrated now can't get it to work I got stuck at the first *maps* line (yes the lowercase line) and it did nothing from there just said cannot find directory or something like that. I ended up with no google maps so I just installed the new maps apk but no navigation it just has layers. Its still cool but I wish I had navi so I can get rid of sprint navigation.

[BadBoy]

Navigation option does not show unless tou click on a destination or click on Navigation when you are following directions from one point to another.

Annnnnnd......I'm off to go get that 4.2.4 :D

Good, when I updated Cyan last night, after the 1st reboot I had Nav. Went to recovery and ran fix permission, rebooted, no Nav. Checked again in 3 hours and it was back. Also if you mount your sd card you will see it created a nav folder.

i had it working on cm 4.2.4 last night too . i rebooted this morning and it was gone . i redid it in one try this morning , and its working perfectly . btw , my phone says its a droid again . i think it might need some psychological counseling !

for some reason i didn't get prompted to install the voice codec...no voice navigation, it's just silent.

[EDIT]

it actually did start talking to me once i went outside. apparently the GPS can't penetrate this dungeon i work in and it won't talk until it gets a lock. stupid basement :)

[simms22]

go to settings , voice synthesis . if you dont have it , it will prompt for a download . i think that you already have it . it didnt promt me in the google navigation , but thats because i already installed it a long time ago(voice) .

[eminembdg]

i'm assuming there's no way for this to work if you're NOT rooted?

i was afraid to root also , since im i dont have a technical background . after months of reading , i finally decided to do it . but , at the time , the instructions werent so easy . honestly , its scarier than it seems . after which , i was kicking myself for not doing it earlier . just pay attention and follow instructions :)

after you reboot , you will notice that there is no google maps icon . go into your drawer , its now called maps .

I did this VERBATIM, got the new Maps icon. Opened it up, (GPS is on), entered an address, clicked GO, and under Show on map....nothing but directions, no Navigate button... any help?

It took me several tries to get it. On the last one navigation didn't show up for a couple of hours. Be patient or try, try again.

OK, I saw something in there about Google Voice. I uninstalled it, and voila! Now, should I get my Google Voice back? Or will it cause problems?

[simms22]

reinstall it . youll be ok :)

[simms22]

Alright, does anyone know why this problem would occur?

Installed Maps (great!!!). Uninstalled Google Voice. Now Maps has a voice! Reinstalled Google Voice. Now Maps has a mime/mute. Help? I use my GV for business purposes and I don't like not having it installed on my feletone...

i dont get what youre saying ???

[mgs991099a]

Don't worry, I fixed it. Now can I upgrade to CM 4.2.4 or will it screw up maps?

[cmbarry1]

can i follow these if already on 4.2.4 anyone know?

[ahugo68]

i think an issue might be if you have google voice and then try to install nav it messes things up. i actually uninstalled(it kept getting FC) and then installed nav/maps then reinstalled voice

[ahugo68]

can i follow these if already on 4.2.4 anyone know?

yes you can

[mgs991099a]

I had 4.2.4, downloaded 4.2.3.1, installed (works like a charm), and am about to go back to 4.2.4. It's just an extra step, but it's probably safer, since everyone has tested it that way. This is just my opinion and I am by no means smart about this...

[TheJuan]

I installed from 4.2.4 and its all good, by the way great job on this rom by cyan, love the icons

On the gps.. wow I have a navigon 7200t and this google stuff is in another league. Imagine it on that zii egg, but with a data signal aghhh lol

[mgs991099a]

Accidentally deleted all of the navigation stuff off of the SD card. Now I don't have the "Navigate" button. Any ideas on how to fix, or do I just start over?

[agentaaron]

I would love to try it, just for the fun of it...unfortunately, on my 40 mile each way trek to and from work alone I pass through some areas that are "data dead zones" voice works fine and I can talk all the way home...but data will refuse to load.

Not that I need nav to find my way to and from a place I have gone 6-7 days a week for the past 6 years...but i wouldnt rely on it if I was traveling somewhere.

...I ended up installing copilot 8...which is absolutely great! and does not require anything but a GPS signal...and a constant power supply ;) :p

[mgs991099a]

Any help? I re-installed the same way, and I still don't have the Navigation button...

[mgs991099a]

And it's back.... sorry for my impatience! Simple reboot fixed it.

[TheJuan]

guys i forgot how to edit a direction shortcut, anyone remember how to edit them?

[loustrk]

guys i forgot how to edit a direction shortcut, anyone remember how to edit them?

Just long press the home screen then short cut then scroll to directions.

[TheJuan]

yea i already have the shortcut on my desktop, but how do i change its address, i cant find that thread where someone found out how to edit already existing direction shortcuts, lol i love this gps, wish our screen was bigger

Hey, did google voice work for you afterwards? I had the same force crashing with google voice, uninstalled it an reinstalled it. GV stopped crashing, but it's also now stuck at the "downloading..." voicemails and then nothing happens. I'm on 4.2.3.1...

[ggrant3876]

For anyone have problems with the script ot adb there is a zip file for navigation now.

Good find! I flashed this, and it is running great! :D

[mgs991099a]

So I have Google Voice and after installing the Navigation, I can open up GV, but it just says "downloading". I've seen other people with this same problem and I've even re-installed GV 3 times now and it still does the same thing. Anyone know of a fix for it?

What I had to do to solve this was this..uninstall Google Voice, then reinstall the maps, and then reinstall google voice. I think when you install the maps, its best to do so without google voice installed first. I had similar problems as you but did the above and now everything is super duper.

[mgs991099a]

Sadly I've actually done that... :(

[mgs991099a]

Yep! Just uninstalled Google Voice, re-installed the new Maps w/ Navi, and re-installed GV. Stuck on the Download page... Even had a person send me a text to test it out. It forwarded to my regular Messaging program, but nothing shows up in GV. Any help?

Oh yeah I forgot a step, I actually uninstalled my maps completed first then went through the whole process using the update zip file. Not sure if that will help anyone.

[AndroidJR]

ATTENTION: to those who are having problems with Google Voice. If it says 'dowloading' and doesn't do anything follow the steps on this link...

1.Uninstall Google Voice before the process
2. Don't forget to do a nandroid backup

Nice, isn't it? Whicj method did you use?

[DaYuMu6ft7]

It's very very Nice!!!

I used Simms edited version, then reinstalled the Google Voice app and was set to go

Can't wait until we'll be able to change that voice on the navigator

Yeah, should be more choices. Looked in the folder it created, maps - cache or something like that, on the sd and it looks likes 2 voices. But only get the generic.

[DaYuMu6ft7]

I'm sure someone will come up with a fix for that soon enough, until then I can deal :)

[syndicasian]

I installed the Navigation with the simms method also, but got it to work after 4-5 tries... I did not uninstall Google Voice. This Navigation software works great! I went out for a drive last night after installing it.:D

[mgs991099a]

Alright!!! The GV fix worked! Who needs tech support on the phone when the forums are 1 BILLION times better???

[ggrant3876]

Goy navigation working on my second phone without a sim card, just using gps.

[Cope]

Sorry if this seems like a stupid question. I have a G1 with Cyanogen 4.2.4 installed. I was thing about adding the Navigation using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583684 . My question is with Google Voice. I do not have a Google Voice account. The last I heard you had to receive an invite to receive an account. Do I just have to have this app installed on my phone for the Navigation to work or do I actually have to have the Google Voice app with a active account? Thanks for all your help.

[mgs991099a]

You actually don't have to have GV to make Maps work. Most people who have GV had problems, but as far as I can tell, I didn't have any problems when I didn't have GV installed.

[loustrk]

Need a little help, I can't get navigation to stay on my phone. I had it on 4.2.4 and flashed to 4.2.5, it was fine for a while then just gone. I re-did
the procedure a few times but nothing. Did a nandroid back to 4.2.4 and all was fine. flashed again to 4.2.5 and it was fine for a while and then gone.

I did this 4 or 5 times and the same thing happens, it's fine on 4.2.5 for a while then its gone and nothing I do will get it back. Is there something
that I'm missing?

What method are you using? I'm using this one and it is sticking on 4.2.5.
http://blog.mmayhew.com/google-maps-with-turn-by-turn-navigation-for-cyanogenmod/
Through the terminal I do 2-8 and reboot. Then 21-24 and reboot. Sometimes it takes awhile to show up but it doesn't go away.

Holy cow thats a lot of steps:eek:! I've been using the one that simms posted.

Just happened again, I flashed 4.2.5 again right before I left work. Nav. working fine, came home tried it again and still fine. Just checked again it was fine, checked the market real quick and now I'm getting nothing.
Come to think of it the last few times it was gone, it was right after I came from the market. Didn't download or update anything just checked my downloads.

Really doesn't make sense. When I flash a new rom I have to do the script again and then there are others that it stays through the update. Who knows?

It's crazy, When I nandroid back I'm fine. After I flash it's fine for a
while then poof, gone! and It don't come back:mad:.

Whats up with the Sapphire command? The file wasn't in the original download and I don't remember that command.

Not sure, it's in several of newer ones. There's even one you flash like a rom. Tried it, didn't work for me.

Just tried it with your link, everything went through fine but I got
nothing. What did you mean that sometimes it takes time for it to
show up? The damn thing works great when it stays on my phone I'm
just getting aggravated right now,
I'm 10 min. from a wipe:mad:.

The saphire command is for it to work on the mytouch . After doing those 4 script lines after it disappeared for 4.2.5 , it has been good the whole time . Hasn't disappeared anymore .

You had it working on 4.2.5 and then just disappear?

Yea . Then I did 4 scripts and its been working since . The mount -o rw, remount script . The 2 build.prop and built.trout.prop . And the remove dalvik-cache script . Then I rebooted , uninstalled and reinstalled goog voice . Its been perfect since . The navigation has to think that you have android 2.0 . That's what those 2 build scripts/files are for . It changes your phone info into being a droid with 2.0 . Well , it makes your phone think that at least .

In the link that ggrant posted for me did you do all the steps or just
2-8 reboot then 21-24 reboot?

Thanks for both you guys for trying to help.

[mbreezy]

it took me four tries but i got it working .
this is how i did it (i changed one step from your directions). download and unzip the build.zip file onto the root of your sd .
download-->http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=245297&d=1257915476

in terminal type(type exactly . watch for capital letters , spelling , and spaces)..

su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cp /sdcard/build.prop /system
cp /sdcard/build.trout.prop /system
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
rm /system/sd/dalvik-cache/*Maps*
rm /system/app/*Maps*
ash
mount -o remount,rw /system
install /sdcard/Maps.apk /system/app/
reboot

after you reboot , you will notice that there is no google maps icon . go into your drawer , its now called maps .
Thnx man, this one did it for me. Seems that it would be simple enough for Cyan to add it to his next update, but doubt it will happen with the legal mumbo jumbo. :(

i didnt do anything from that link . this is what i did when my google navi dissappeared on cm 4.2.5 . make sure that the build.prop and build.trout.prop files are still on the root of your sd card . in terminal type...

su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cp /sdcard/build.prop /system
cp /sdcard/build.trout.prop /system
rm /system/sd/dalvik-cache/*Maps*
(if you have google voice , uninstall it now)
reboot
(reinstall google voice)
your google navi should be working now
