[Q]: Google street view direction arrows - Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps

Hello, does anybody know how the direction arrows (to move along the streets) can be made visible?
They are visible on a Sony smartphone but not on my Samsung Galaxy 9000. I can only move forward by means of the pegman. I already updated to the latest version of Google maps and Streetview.
Thx in advance!

Well, I installed Streetview for Google Maps (by Google inc.) to get rid of those arrows and i find the little peg man much quicker and easier
But if you want the arrows back, uninstall streetview add on. You will still have streetview and your arrows will be back
Streetview is in the Menu, if i remember right you click menu then more in Maps

Thx mate

GPS and 11

Since upgrading to 11 the gps works with maps but not the browser. If I click on update on the google home page, the gps icon doesn't even come on.
Thanks so much

What do you mean it doesn't work with the browser?
If I click update on the google home page to get local info, it does not envoke gps. It does work fine on maps, albeit slower than 8.

Your location settings are enabled?

Weather Widget

Anyone know how to change the weather widget came with the ION to search for GPS location (moved with device) instead of a fixed location ? I have tried out a few weather widgets in the Play Market, still like the default - simple and elegant. Thanks.
You have to have Google location services enabled. Took me a year to figure that out on my Play.

I donĀ“t think you can with the Ion widget. I had to install the Weather Channel program, when you configure its widget you can set it for current location. But the widget sucks, so now I use it from the App menu only.

jsss set up ur account everything works.. if you are looking for commands...get everything over here
Google Now Commands
Google Now works with network (and GPS) on all the time. To activate, long press home button and 'G' point (the middle button), use menu and parameter, here you can active google now. You must also activate Search history in your google account or google now parameter.
After you activate google now, on parameter you have new entry for what to use.
Google now is a sort of assistant, he can show you the wheater based on your location, the next appointment based on the calendar, the next show, based on your internet search, and so on.
But there is no widget, so it's as useful as it's intend to be.
When i want to send email,,nothing,,google now just open google search with text ..send email etc...So how to send emails with voice?
Tnx
In fact for me works only google search with voice and weather card.

Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
There are 2 locations I changed the language:
1. Go to system settings > Language and Input > Language > choose English US
2. When in Google Now press Menu > Settings > Voice > Language > choose English US

Try AIVC (Alice) from google play its free it works exactly the same as s voice but I think its much better it does what your after and sends emails or sms or makes calls sets alarms checks weather etc all by your voice.
Just install it and double tap the home key to activate.
Anygood?

[Q] Google Now keeps wanting to install?

Hi all
I don't have Google Now installed.
But when I want to use Google regular search, either from the search bar on top of homescreen or from the app drawer, Google Now keeps trying to install itself. Can I permanently remove Now? And just have regular search?
It is almost like Google Search is advertising Now, but I don't want it ask me to install Now every time, I just want to go straight to search.
Even hitting the microphone opens the Google Now install window, then I must hit the back button to go back to regular search.
This is for CM10.1
Thanks
Heeter
Uh Google search is Google now, that's the evolution of search, the only way I know to not get Google now is to search from Google Web page if you install Google search it is all your going to get.

Interesting and I've never noticed that before but I've never not had a reason to.
Looking at the app, Google Now is what Google has built their app around. You can go to your browser and do a search without getting this issue correct?

Perhaps try turning off the history?
It says it "may" disable functions such as Google Now, but I doubt it can be disabled. Search from webpage is my guess.

Google maps navigation

Before, when I was using my phone as a gps a couple months back, the Google maps navigation would always show me a street view of the next turn that was coming up. I got the new Google maps 7.1 update and now that feature is gone. Is there any way to get that back?
