Can't find Google Maps navigation option (anymore?)

[Kelly Kearns]

Well. Thanks to all that tried to help. I went to the Maps forum as suggested by Kelly Kearns, and it turned out that Navigation is not available in mi country (BTW: It is spelled Colombia).

You can see the countries where navigation is enabled on this link: support.google.com/gmm/answer/3273406?hl=en-GB&rd=1 (please copy and paste. I still can't post links), under "What you need to use navigation".

Thanks again!

Ahh.. Autocorrect got me.

Sorry it isn't available there, but we know it is working correctly. They are doing a lot of things with maps, maybe it will be there soon.

Try signing out of google maps in maps options. I had the same problem and it worked for me

This worked for me:
"To anyone who runs across this thread, I discovered the cause and solution to this issue in some cases.

When you search for a location using google.com or the google app, then tap the directions button, the start and end points are passed to the google maps app. When you select the route and only see the preview option, it's because google.com/app passed a starting set of coordinates to the maps app, so your asking google maps to provide directions between two points, not your current location to a point. Thus no turn-by-turn. Simply tap into the start field and select current location, bam."
