Help Maps on Gnex

[Old Member]

While driving to Lake Cumberland I tried using Google Maps to navigate here for vacation on Saturday. As I drove GPS had me a few hundred yards away from the highway that I was driving on. It was maddening because it kept trying to make me go on the highway by taking side roads. I thought it was my Gnex's problem so I rebooted. I even uninstalled and reinstalled the app. My dad was with me and he has an unrooted Gnex so I asked him to turn his on, and it was doing the same thing. My son has my old Dinc and I asked him to turn his on and it worked wonderfully. Has anyone ever had this issue? I have used maps dozens of times before and it worked flawlessly on my Gnex. I even turned it on today and it's working fine.

Mine is working right now, but I've seen this issue with both my nexus and my old eris from time to time

Had this problem a couple days ago:

Yesterday, it was back working fine. Didn't check it today.

It's a GPS problem, not a maps problem (I tried mapquest as well). Hopefully it's not a recurring issue.


Edit: it looks like your problems were confined to Saturday as well....maybe there was some glitch that had to do with that date...

Huh. I had trouble on Saturday as well. For just a little section of my drive, it had me going off "over the river and through the woods" - and then kept recalculating my route because it'd have me intersect with a side road or something.

At the time, it didn't matter because I knew where I was going and it corrected itself once I got on the highway, and I didn't have the problem again for the rest of the drive, even when I got off the highway and started hitting some side streets.

Never had the problem before.
