Help Cannot launch Navigator from within contacts.

[davidmanvell]

I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3. Also have contacts with addresses in them of course. The icon to launch an app using those addresses does not list navigator. Real pain in the ass.

Is there some way to add navigator to that list?

Basically want to be able to pull up a contact in my address book and click the icon next to someone's address and have it launch Navigator. Closest I can do now is to tell it to launch Google maps then launch the navigator from within (After several more clicks).

Android 4.04 on Verizon.

In Navigator there is a Contacts tab to launch navigation of your contacts.

Anyone have a way to fix this? is there an app to add this ability? is it there for stock Android and removed by Verizon or not there for stock Android?

I'm not sure if I understand the qustion. If I bring up a contact that has a street address and click on the the map button next to the icon, it brings up google maps. If I then select navigation, it works.

I'm trying to go to Google Navigator directly. I'm trying to find a way to add Google Navigator to the list of things that can launch when you click the icon next to the address. On my Verizon Phone they have the Verizon Navigator Earth, Mapquest, maps and Zillow listed when I click the icon. I removed the Verizon Navigator form my phone as I don't use it.

When you are driving the less clicks the better, there is no reason to go to google maps then navigator directly.
