QUOTE(saigetsu @ Jan 9 2013, 10:56 AM) 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? Thanks sifu guru!! 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 am pretty confused with the offering of the various components of GMS. |

Used method 1 mentioned in the xda developer posts on my phone.
Seems working but it immediately look up for a newer version 6.14.2 and want to update to it. Have to abort the update. Does it look up for the update everything I start Maps ? How to disable that ?

Anyone here got it working ? Did it show real street view of your place ? |

The newer versions referred to by xda forum is mod by ownhere. Latest seems to be at 6.14.1. But google has already reached 6.14.2. Can't find 6.14.2 from ownhere. But there is a chinese posts which mentioned about 6.14.2 :- http://www.coolapk.com/apk/1273/ |

QUOTE(saigetsu @ Jan 11 2013, 02:32 PM) ownware meaning we can use or not? Actually I tried it already, the 6.14.2 one mentioned in the Chinese post is the same as that on the google play store. So not much point. The latest mod from a China developer called 'ownhere' is upto 6.14.1 only. The xda developer Brut.all ones are much older than the ownhere ones. Yes the 6.14.1 is working but still no street view. There were some posts on the net which says street view might be coming to Malaysia pretty soon. I am using method 1 as mentioned in the xda-developer posts. |
