Google developers plz help! As per the latest update I should be able to set navigation voice in Hindi, but I am not able to. I changed the Google primary language to hindi to try that. Please guide us with the setup.
Mike Armstrong
Not that good. Every time I open it up the dot is never where I am. I always have to repot I am not where the dot is. Its about 10 miles away.

a must have app This app can be hungry on older phones, and it suffers a but from bloat. But on a modern phone, it is unquestionably one of the most essential apps imaginable.
Binyamin Biber
Contradicts itself often Gives frequent contradictory directions eg "take exit X" followed by "continue on road Y" from which one was just directed to exit! Sometimes directs one to take a slower route even while identifying a faster one. Curious glitches.

Please make the ruler a permanent feature, a map isn't a map without a scale. Additionally, please increase the maximum zoom level. As of right now I can't access a lot of information on maps because I can't zoom in further. Maps has decreased in capability recently.
Agung Sunaryo

STOP ASKING ME TO IMPROVE LOCATION ACCURACY BY TURNING ON WIFI EEEEEVERY TIME I USE MAPS AND TAP TO CENTER ON MY LOCATION! No matter how many times I hit ignore it asks me anyway. Stop it!
I like the look It hasn't failed me yet, but would like it if search and recent places were seperate, they both slow eachother down
Indeed improvement in map Please improve given direction to be safe, it only gives shortest distance no matter how road is good or bad. Please add an option of how much Lane is there on a road. Google Earth facility not available in india.
Fairly good soo far For the past few updates, I'm surprised that nothing has actually gone wrong. Like the elevation changes included with bicycle directions. Kinda surprised that this hasn't been updated to the new "Material Design" yet.
The Best Mapping App on the Planet....Period! I am in the transportation business and have had Google Maps since it's inception and can't say enough about it's usefulness. I've never been lost, it always gives me accurate instructions, and I love the constant improvements and integration into other applications, such as Google Now! Keep up the good work!!! Upate: the little microphone while in navigation doesn't recognize your speech nearly as well as the regular Google search does..I think that needs a little work.
Add needed feature back!!!!! I have requested so many times, toooooo many times to PLEASE "add contact" so that the information about a location can be saved directly in our contacts!!! You had this feature before the update and now it's gone. Please add it back again. It's been years now, I would have thought that you should have added it back by now. You're not allowing us to use the full range of your system. It's capable of doing it but you are not allowing us to take advantage of a great feature that we once had access to.
Sucks now Ever since the update it connects starts directions and after 3 min loses gps works for 1 min and loses gps takes up to 5 min to get it back only to lose it again this goes on and on and on. Not happy with the app anymore. I travel for work and used to use it all the time have to goback to using VZ navigator whitch also sucks. Note II. Update: Still Sucks 10/25/14 wish I could delete it.
Not good Not only does this app not work properly but it actually doesnt work at all. It used to work perfectly but now when i ask for a route it will show it to me but when i hit the start button it shows me on the wrong side of the highway pointing 90° from where im facing. And it doesnt follow me at all....the directions are good but the program doesnt follow me meaning i have to guess when its time to turn etc. Do what needs to be done to fix this...its ridiculous that i am forced to have this app on my phone.
Offline Maps Are Gone Again After some minor UI tweaks, offline maps management is gone again. You can still save offline areas, but there is no way to manage them and ensure the area will be accessible when off-the-grid where this feature is critical.
Good concept bad execution Tells you to turn on roads you passed, turn right and keep right are used the same but diff actions. Every time I hit a bump it thinks I want to leave feedback. No way to save home location. Does not give gmaps street view on arrival. I use my Garmin if I have it with me, I only use this when lost.
Well it is great.......... BUT. Please, please, please. Add restricted roads features. I have a regular van, but several times ive been in the northeast and it insists that I take routes that I am not allowed to be on. And it will not reroute me arround them. I have even gotten a ticket due to this(no im not stupid) I just live in an area of the country that doesn't do this. Not for regular automobiles. Please, please, please fix this. Im begging. Otherwise I will be forced to find a paid alternative.
NOT GOOD Maps works OK... Until I really need it! Every new version is more ridiculous than the last -- I see no improvement whatsoever
Who tests these revisions? What TOTAL MORON decides that I don't want to see the address of multiple results in the list?? Go on a road trip, search for McDonald's. It tells me there are 30 within 10 miles... which direction? What city? Seriously, this once WAS there....at least put the address and city IN the results list! Try it. You have to list results and open EVERY SINGLE ONE just to get that information. Even Apple maps got that part right....8+ "updates" and the same idiots can't figure out this is useful information...
GPS is always wrong. Each time I have tried to use this after the latest update the GPS cannot find me. It is sometime over 25 miles off. The location setting on my device is set to high accuracy and it still can find me. I have to turn GPS off the back on before it works. The audible directions do not start until after the second turn or a full five minutes after the route is programmed. Fix the issues. This app is critical in our business. If it doesn't work we will start leaving Google.

GPS Status & Toolbox
Displays GPS and sensor data: position and signal strength of satellites, accuracy, speed, acceleration, altitude, bearing, pitch, roll and battery state.
Tools included: compass with magnetic and true north, leveling tool, mark or share your location and navigate back later using the Radar.
Keep your GPS fast: reset it or download A-GPS data regularly for faster fixes.

Keep your GPS fast: reset it or download A-GPS data regularly for faster fixes.
Visit the FAQ at: http://mobiwia.com/gpsstatus
GPS Status is 100% space proof. Try to spot the program in the promo video :)
PRO features:
- show/store/edit/export multiple waypoints and use them on the Radar for navigation.
- pressure, rotation, temperature, humidity values (if supported by the device)
- removed ads
Permissions
- Location: We need this to display your location and allows the program to re-download AGPS data or reset the GPS.
- External storage: required by the PRO version to be able to export the stored waypoints to an external file.
- Internet: Used by the advertisement component. The PRO version does not use the internet connection at all.
KNOWN FIRMWARE ISSUES (please do not report them):
- Galaxy S4 on Verizon: Because of a firmware bug, the notification item in GPS Status can't be removed. You need to disable the notification feature in Settings if this annoys you.
- Droid 3: The initial Droid 3 firmware does not implement the satellite status API so you will not see the satellites and the signal strength bars. The rest of the features should work properly.
- Motorola phones: On some phones, turning your phone to airplane mode will turn off the GPS receiver, too. This is a hardware limitation.
- Droid Charge: Reports 0 altitude.
- LG Optimus: The phone cannot report the satellite SNR values correctly (all signal bars will be maxed out).
- Samsung phones: Because of a firmware bug, they may report extreme battery consumption for GPS Status even if it is not running at all (other programs using sensors are affected too). This is harmless and no power is consumed! Just ignore it and let's hope that a future firmware upgrade will fix this on your phone.
- Nexus One/S: With Andoid 2.3 it cannot report NMEA sentences. This means that the DOP/HDOP/VDOP values are not available.
