My phone is not able to detect My current Location and if I specify the particular address for both starting point and destination it is not navigating and stays on the screen searching for GPS..until yesterday it was working very fine.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Your GPS is turned on right?
 
I assume you've rebooted your phone.

I've had this happen sporadically...but not often enough for me to really pinpoint many other troubleshooting options.

I'm experiencing the same issue and I'm in S.Florida. This is the first time I've experienced an outage this long. Up to yesterday it was fine as well.
 
None of you guys are inside a building while checking for the GPS, right?


No, it didn't matter today at all and I was out for most of the day. It usually connects in seconds or takes a minute or two for the most.

I believe they're having some network related issues that's causing a disruption in the assisted location fix for the Sats. Hopefully by tomorrow it will be operational again. Glad I'm not the only one.

I wish these phones were strictly Sat-based and not dependent on an assist. I know that's going to be the norm soon.
 
not to sound rude but this IS a beta test app right now, I go through several betas related to video games and there are always days when they take the system down to tweak or enhance. It sucks being a guinnea pig sometimes, but it is free and works pretty damn good for free and has some outragous features, I love the one where in sat layer you can see the area in a pic of where your supposed to turn, or a pic of your destination!

you can turn off network location


Thanks but I believe it still uses an assist from the cell network to get a fix. The only way to really know if it's truly standalone is to try to get a fix without a cell signal present. I wonder if anybody has been able to confirm this. I haven't tried yet.
 
My GPS started working again all of sudden in the evening..I am sure there must be some outage during that time..

Thanks

Maybe, just maybe (need a fingers_crossed smiley) Google got off their *$$ and got some decent maps to replace what they lost when they lost TeleAtlas and they were 'updating' the servers today... yeah right, but it doesn't hurt to hope....
