Hi all...
How to make google maps apps show alternative routes?

I googled and only navigation apps can do that. But unfortunately that app is not available in Malaysia..

So hoe?

Must be rooted first..

have you even read the link that I gave..it works in root an unroot phones.

Since no info on uodated versions. If Google release update then how - for type 3 noon rooted phone. Downloading now

I have been using the type 3 with no problems, so much better than my updated papago m9

Choose not to update.

I'm using type 1 since i used the exynosabuse.apk from market to get root.. was quite easy..

and yes, i did read the link... just didn't think anyone would want to go with type 3 when getting root is this easy. my bad...

and btw, i'm still on stock, so what i did was go into system/app and cut/paste GMS_Maps.apk and street.apk onto my SD card as a backup and followed no.1's instructions.

I am using type 3 since it was launched and I must say that the navigation is much better than my Waze. Waze is better in terms of getting the latest happening on your route such as accidents or police or traffic jams. Although the latter Google Maps also provide real traffic update via options in the "Lab" menu.

Some people just don't want to root their phones although it is easy to do. That is why there is a Type 3. I'm still using the Type 3 although I already root my phone and although the version is old but it still the best online navigation for me.

@saigetsu

please do update if everything is ok

thank you

Yes, there is no much different

What exactly this google "navigation" is supposed to do ? I start up the application, it says it's not available for this country, but nevertheless, can still enter the destination ( the source is automatically filled up ) and shown the turn by turn direction to the destination. This pretty much the same as what you get from the PC, asking for direction with google map.

I also run the google program "map", it turns out to be almost the map as "navigation".

I am pretty confused with the offering of the various components of GMS.

this is just like brut map right ?

yes,

but I thought is illegal to discuss in xda developer forum ?
how come the mod / admin / staff no close the thread ???

they just close one eye...
