Google maps, navigator, and contacts - broken.

[Ed Witles]

Someone here said it was 'broken' w/ the latest download.

And that you needed to use Maps then go into Nav.

Is that the only way unless backing out of Maps to prev version?

Also, the GPS was acting real stupid in Nav but was working just dandy in Maps.

Rooted MR2 Stock.

That made my head hurt...what exactly is your problem? lol

Ok, here it goes...

Google Nav would take addresses from Contacts directly.

Now the latest Maps update 'fixed' that.

Google Nav now protests and says - no addresses associated with contacts and to add some.

This JUST happened w/ latest Maps download.

The workaround is go into Maps and choose directions then go into Nav.

Not happy about that.

Plus, Google Nav was acting a bit stupid in the GPS dept. Unable to locate GPS and would just 'freeze'. Yet seemed ok in Maps.

Clear as mud?

I just noticed that as well, I havent used my Google Nav in awhile. My contact addresses are not recognized either. Weird.
