| Google Maps for Android - 6.6 update | Daniel.M | 4/25/12 3:49 PM | Hi Google Maps for Android users, We've recently released an update to Google Maps for mobile on Google Play. This round includes: - Elevation data added to "Measure" Lab - Zoom and scale buttons for ICS devices - turn them on in Menu>Settings Bug |
| Re: Google Maps for Android - 6.6 update | ski4404 | 4/28/12 3:18 PM | Hello Daniel. Thank you for the update. Unfortunately since this update, street names are no longer being announced during navigation. I still get voice prompts like "turn left", but that's it. Uninstalling updates to maps brings the street names |
| Re: Google Maps for Android - 6.6 update | maddogz | 4/29/12 7:40 PM | Same issue here, no spoken street names on Galaxy Nexus VZW... If Google isn't testing this with the Galaxy Nexus, are they testing it at all? Pretty basic functionality to break. |
| Re: Google Maps for Android - 6.6 update | ski4404 | 4/30/12 7:37 AM | Just wanted to note that there are other users also reporting this in the mobile help group: https://groups.google.com/a/googleproductforums.com/d/topic/mobile/5ebYWg1J5Z4/discussion |
| Re: Google Maps for Android - 6.6 update | plasmoidia | 4/30/12 8:09 AM | I am also experiencing the problem with Navigation no longer speaking street names. Verizon Galaxy Nexus running stock 4.0.2. |
| Re: Google Maps for Android - 6.6 update | cnanney | 4/30/12 12:48 PM | Same issue with Navigation not saying street names, rendering voice updates pretty useless. Also on that note, the spoken directions seem choppy and unclear when being played over music. I usually have phone plugged into car stereo and playing music |
| Re: Google Maps for Android - 6.6 update | strizh1245 | 5/2/12 3:00 PM | T-Mobile MyTouch 4G Slide Same issue, but voice is much much better than before. |
| Google Maps for Android - 6.6 update | ByteMaster0 | 5/2/12 4:33 PM | Same issue, Verizon Galaxy Nexus, 4.0.2 stock, no root. Following the update, no spoken street names, just basic directions. Needs a fix, only uninstalling the updates corrects the problem, though it removes many great features. Please fix. |
| Google Maps for Android - 6.6 update | moleman | 5/2/12 6:04 PM | Same issue...no street names. VZW, galaxy nexus, ICS. uninstalled updates so the voice navigation has some value. "turn right" isn't very helpful. Street names still display on device, but voice doesn't read them |
| Re: Google Maps for Android - 6.6 update | BN1204 | 5/3/12 11:58 PM | Street names are no longer being said during navigation on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus 4.0.2 (Verizon) after this recent update. Just says "turn left" or whatever direction you have to go. Also doesn't say distance (ie: 1.4 miles) either. Hope to have th |
| Re: Google Maps for Android - 6.6 update | davidwar | 5/5/12 11:33 AM | This problem which I am also experiencing is on this and many android forums. It seems to only effect the Samsung Galaxy Nexus phone after the latest Google Maps update (6.0.6) I have yet to see anyone from Google acknowledge that the problem exist |
| Re: Google Maps for Android - 6.6 update | tomgeery | 5/6/12 10:47 AM | unfortunately, this update removes a significant feature - spoken street names and exit numbers and dumbs down the navigation feature significantly. any chance there's an update coming to fix this? |
| Re: Google Maps for Android - 6.6 update | carlitov | 5/6/12 7:10 PM | Hello Daniel, I must also join the group of users who sorely regretted updating solely due to the fact that TTS of street names during navigation disappeared. This feature made the maps a must have. You didn't just hear turn left or right, but also t |
| Re: Google Maps for Android - 6.6 update | superdev | 5/7/12 7:07 AM | I had the same problem on my Galaxy Nexus LTE on Verizon when I was on Android 4.0.2. I just updated to the leaked 4.0.4 build and it seems to have fixed the problem for now. Will update if the problem re appears. |
| Re: Google Maps for Android - 6.6 update | ski4404 | 5/7/12 10:29 AM | I was wondering if 4.0.4 might have something to do with this... interesting. I believe they are pushing 4.0.4 to VZW users OTA now in phases... |
| Re: Google Maps for Android - 6.6 update | ByteMaster0 | 5/7/12 11:08 AM | Of course, it will take weeks for most of us to get the update - if we do at all, and VZW doesn't end up yanking the update. Kinda crappy that we'd have to have a useless nav app when an update for our phones clearly isn't available. I too was wonder |
| Re: Google Maps for Android - 6.6 update | _npt | 5/8/12 6:22 AM | I, too, noticed that the street names are no longer spoken. I have a Galaxy Nexus on VZW -- it did a really GREAT job of pronouncing most street name -- even hard to pronounce ones. Running Navigation on an Android 2.1 OS (Galaxy Tab), the speech is |
