hi all

just found out that my phone can use google navigation in MY already (galaxy nexus). anyone else already using it?

Start yesterday can use already.
tested it today. Why do you ask though?

this is cool..
is a bit late lah..
apple 1 can be used long time ago..

Tried it. Better than sygic in term of finding destination but gps lost quite frequent and difficult to get gps lock while driving (sygic is better)

I think it sucks....Waze way better....No wonder Google bought Waze.

If you can't beat them, buy them. - Google

You can't blame them...Big companies buy smaller ones all the time....MS, Apple, SONY, etc.

waze hard to find the location.

i usually use google maps to find, its search is excellent.
once found, remember the street name, then use waze to navigate.

if only the navigation button instantly brings up waze.
hopefully gets implemented soon.

waze is better bro

for advance road map search i prefer google ..
waze is good for daily use

Waze's map database/search engine is no where near as advanced as google maps. A lot of places/point of interest/jalan/landmarks you can't find in Waze.

Waze also has very little userbase compared to google maps, making road suggestions to avoid traffic congestion less effective. Google maps have far more users and thus, traffic feed is a lot more reliable.

For google maps, I'd like to see the option of adding favourites and some self customizations. And also, add the option to extract google coordinates in the mobile app itself.

Give one example can't find in Waze but can find in maps.

guys, izit i need to update to the latest version(v7) of google maps only i can use the navigation?

n if i wan to use google maps for navigation, i should click in 'maps' app or the 'navigation' app in phone? quite confusing not sure how to use it

No need to update to v7
Since yesterday auto activated for v6.14 on my huawei mate. Been using it for 3 hours today. Use Navigation app - the app name already tell you . What is so confusing??

i can name at least 10 in my area that waze's own map can't find. but if use google locations within waze's search then u can find them. the problem is, after u got the location, loading it to navigate takes so long i am already own the way there after i close waze and open google maps. not only loading navigation and calculating route in waze is slow, but EVERYTHING in it is. that's why i don't use waze for navi, only using Sygic and google maps now, these are super fast and quite accurate. the only thing that waze is good for is sharing traffic info and police traps.

I think he is referring to the previous way of using navigation for maps where we go to maps app first and navigation is done after asking for directions...

waze alot of place also don have la... but good thing is it can link with foursquare or cna search google..

1 utama

I was trying to get there the other day. But top 3 results are weird, not indicating the mall.

Frustrated switch to google maps, search 1 Utama straight it pop out as first.
Tap navigate n cn go already

Yup, nice point there. Forgot to mention the speed of which it takes to draw the navigation route and recalculate when you go off course. Simply superb

Is this app only available to those "Nexus" version of smartphones?
