Navigation with voice working on G1!

[White97Jimmy]

I wanted to post a real easy step by step instructions on putting Google Maps Navi on a rooted G1. These are NOT my instructions, but they are really good and simple, even for those with general mod skills.

I am using CyanogenMod- 4.2.4

Navi Instructions:

http://blog.mmayhew.com/google-maps-with-turn-by-turn-navigation-for-cyanogenmod/

Just a note: I had to reboot after step 25 (non-SDK instructions) because my home screen was missing all icons. I also had to install Google Voice to get it to work. The instructions state that you may need to.

Also, my phone is still showing as firmware 1.6 (some report 2.0). I heard that if it shows 2.0, some of the apps were not working because of compatibility issues. I have not had any of that.

Best of luck to everyone!

wow thats a a lot of steps ! i did it this way...

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 .

That's the one I gave to ahugo to get nav on mt3g. It has one extra build.prop, sapphire, in it.

yup that is the one that works on the mt3g...... BTW google nav is the best navigation program i have ever use

Would I have to re-do these steps if I update my ROM again? I'm updating to CM 4.2.4 now. I have one app (Power Manager) which I had to manually install into /system/app every time I update the ROM, this 20-30 manual steps (non-SDK) look pretty painful if I have to re-do that every time.

The short answer is no, but you never know. Most people that updated to 4.2.4 didn't have to redo anything, including me.

I love this app. I drove from San Diego to Phoenix using it and it was nice. Now I'm using it in Scottsdale and its working great. Is there a way to fix the Google Voice app it doesnt load any more since Nav

I used the instructions in the first post. However, I had to uninstall GV, then run through the install of the new Maps Navi, then reinstall GV when I was done. Everything seems to be working now.

thanks to "theomajigga" a member over at xda there is a new and much easier way to get the navigation working he put together a recovery flash-able zip file to add the new Google navigation. here is the LINK http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583684 :D
