I am using the newest version of Google navigation in Amsterdam. I cannot find how to enable Street View in it. The website states it should be possible to navigate with street view. They say you should tap the screen twice to enable. I rooted the phone and removed maps completely and then reinstalled from the market, but no luck.
Try click and holding the map, and when the address pops up, click it so you go into the detail view. In that screen, you should see the street view icon on the right.
That is probably in Google Maps, i am referring to Navigation. In navigation when i click and hold the map in navigation nothing happens.
It seems it really is not there anymore. Here you can read some answer, somebody already asked google and they are working on it as it seems:

Is there a setting for google maps so that it turns to the same direction I'm facing rather than always north? In other words, the map would line up with the real world. I'd like this to work even when I don't have a data connection. I thought google nav would do this, but I can't get it to work properly offline.
You need to have a GPS lock before the maps turn according to the direction you are facing.
Then press the small square icon with a compass image(i think) at the top right of the map.

When I have a GPS lock and am in google maps, the small square icon with the compass image in the upper right just moves the map so that the blue my location arrow is in the center of the screen.
First tap should change it to a compass, second tap will do what you want...
That did it
Ive tried looking on the forums and on google.com i have found a lot of stuff stating the same problems but no fixes. So if someone could either explain to me the problem or a solution that would be awesome.
FOr some reason on the Note 2 and S3 i think for that matter Google now wont work 100%
1. if you press menu the menu pops up for a sec and then disappears. only way around this is if you press in the search bar as if you were going to type then you can press menu.
2. I no longer have the little picture at the top that shows either the sun (if its day light) or the moon (if its night) its just the search bar with all my recent searches under it which is super annoying. If i use the fix above to get to the settings and turn google now off and then on i get my little picture back until i leave Google now. then its gone again.
Like I said in the other thread. I was able to uninstall the updates for Google Search and all is well for me.

Before updating google now, go into google now settings/voice/hotword detection and turn it off. Menu button will work fine after the upgrade. Some issue with hotword detection and Note 2.
Is anyone else having the issue of their on screen nav buttons cutting off part of the google maps screen? When I'm navigating I can't see the ETA section or hit the 'X' to close navigation. Really annoying. I'm wondering if it's a maps app issue or possibly the ROM I'm using somehow. I'm on the latest ICE custom ROM. Also, it might be related, but when the pop up asking which app i want to use for various options pops up (ie when I click a number to call it asks if I want to use phone or skype) I can't click on the 'Just Once' or 'Always' option because it makes me hit the nav keys (even though I am hitting the 'Always' selection). Thanks for any help.
Can anyone tell me how to stop Google Assistant opening in full screen? It used to just pop up from the bottom on my note 8, but on my note 10+ it takes up the whole screen.

The screen that you are showing is not Google Assistant, instead this is Google Voice Search from the Google App. If you launch Assistant directly (using Home Button or Gestures), it will only pop up from the bottom.

Thank you. I actually factory reset and it's working now. I definitely Had an issue during install. Google was acting really strange. It would hang when I chose some of the options and things like that period I had installed google assistant but I don't think it ever fully installed which is why it was opening up Google Voice search.
Does anyone else have this issue?
Maps is open and full screen, I'm driving somewhere and I need to ask Google a question. I used to say 'OK Google where's the nearest gas station', I would then see gas stations on my route.
Now when I say OK Google, Maps closes down to a small floating screen, and Google doesn't answer my question.
I've done some testing and the issue only happens when the phone is landscape. I keep my phone in landscape when in my car and cannot change this.
I never had this issue up until 4-6 weeks ago,
When in portrait and I say 'OK Google' I get a bar at the bottom with the Google Voice icon displayed, see screenshot with yellow arrow.
However In landscape that bar doesn't show and saying ok Google refund me to the home screen
I'm sure that bar at the bottom is 'driving mode'. I turned off driving mode, however now my issue appears in portrait and landscape!
I look to have resolved it! Uninstalling the Google app from Play Store, then clicking 'Update', then restarting phone.
Then go into Google app>settings>voice>Voice Match> Enable hey Google. I now noticed the white bar shown in the attached was showing. I then clicked the blue bar, something like 'enable more features'.
Now the behaviour is that I'm in maps full screen (portrait or landscape) I say OK Google, the same thing happens before where it returns me to home screen and minimises maps to a little floatingng window, however I see the white bar, I say my request 'find Gas station', and make comes up full screen and showed my gas stations on my route!
Darn it, its reverted back to how it was!
