Google Maps on Android

[omarlozoya100]

how do i stop maps from running in the background it uses to make battery and task killer does not help

How do you terminate a running Maps application on an Android phone? It's using up memory and drains the battery.

[MartianJonn]

I seriously miss GPS coordinates >:(

Gotta love H1b visas creating cheap labor and stealing jobs from real Americans.

[running70]

@MrThisIsMeToo You're right, gotta love Google for hiring cheap labor for cutting edge work. Also gotta love you for thinking Non White = Cheap Labour.

@Goodness250. Thanks I realized now. It's ok to use the google map on android as long as I don't travel. If I do travel , then it's better to get a separate GPS. That way I don't have to pay data charges.

[georgefitzful]

why dont i get street view on my google maps? is it because im on qvga pulse mini?

[peleproductions]

Hi Charles

[minehumbleopinion]

Does one using google maps on an adroid phone need to pay charges?

Or is it like normal stand alone gps units on cars where you don't have to pay for any charges?

[drakiepoo]

it should act like a normal stand-alone GPS, provided the device has the chip. otherwise i would imagine it would have to use an address you typed in and work over the cell network or wifi

[Goodness250]

@minehumbleopinion I was told by a Verizon rep that Google Maps is a free app, BUT all Android phones require a $15 per month data package.

LMFAO. The sushi place right by my school's called Zen! I'm eating there this Sunday! Hahahaha! :D

[FezTube11]

That's pretty legit. I doubt anyone REALLY needs this, and they already have phones with GPS in them, but it's still neat. I don't know about the price, though, lol. :)

[hiromiao]

that spinning off the street view made me dizzy lol

[hungelt8]

Can the Windows Mobile version make like this?

[sief34]

is the iphone better or worst then this

[fallenembers08]

well for some reason i cant drop a pin on google maps on android. thats what i want it to do. D:

[khalilmushani]

Google Maps Rocks! So does Andriod!

[istroublebrewing]

does this use the gps chip or internet

[wholtone]

A couple things that annoy me about Google Maps on Android..

1. No Google Transit, only driving directions.. makes it practically useless in San Fran.

2. No compass. It would be nice it it had a built in compass that told me which direction I was facing. I know for a fact the android has compass capabilities!

3. When I search a location, touch the balloon I get.. "Zoom in to address", "Directions to this address," etc. no auto street view???? Switching to streetview automatically zooms out. AH!

[nicomalta]

My Google Maps works perfectly, and shows exactly were I am

[thebeatinginthedamme]

wtf my street view doesnt work i got my g1 today and my location is miles of my house!

[jasonbsa]

i got this phone on the first day and now im at my house it is like 4 miles off

[meipand]

Remember iphone and G1 provide online store which is very convenient, which wm til this 6 version already still no such service

[cruzernator]

Hold that thought on the G1 folks. Windows Mobile OS will create a similar version of that Google street view feature soon. Don't waste your money on the G1, looks like a useless device!

[pezpet]

just because windows mobile has 1 similar feature doesn't make it equally as good.

[mossmad]

If i was to get this or the LG Renoir on pay as you go can i still use the GPS maps? or would it cost?

[shaeguitar]

u have to have a data plan or prepaid data

[millerwaf]

g1 is tha best phone out

[Mus1cFr3ak24]

I LOVE THE G1!!! I MIGHT GET ONE!!!1

[glenwoodfin]

OMG! That street view is boss.

[DriftK13]

that searching for sushi thing was copied off iphone. LOL

[hertiny9]

2:18

[ynot914]

wow...look at the SKYSCRAPERS!!!

[yujkivajra]

Got my g1! Ok, guys, why cant i drop a pin and save that location like i can in every other incarnation of your maps app? Serious oversight there...

[rpsmarketing]

wow .. i'm getting one for sure ..

[retepvosnul]

Still not sure ? I think this is A waste of time squared in new york city..

What a dud.

[wallseer]

stalker toolz

[ROADMIKEEEEE]

charles.

the north end of times square is called 'duffy square'.

no problemo though, i can't wait to get my mitts on my new g-1.

[calauria]

If the video lasts 2:20 minutes, why the cellphone clock keeps showing 5:20 PM all the time???? Hummm. this remembers me the iPhone advertise, when access to the internet was much more quick than on the real world...

[mikexilva]

Does it talk in navigation mode, I mean turn by turn instructions for car driving?

[canonvox]

awesome. Combine this with auto wireless sync to gmail, google calendar etc....for free (unlike the crappy $100 mobileme service) and i think you have a very compelling phone..regardless of the hardware being a little less sexy than the iphone.

[elpresidio]

I want my Google Phone!
