Uninstall and reinstall google maps from the market. I don't know how it would just disappear from your phone though
As mentioned, it's part of Google Maps. Although it shows up separately in your app drawer as Navigation, it's not actually a separate APK - this is why you won't find it as a separate entry under Manage Applications. To uninstall/reinstall it, hit Google Maps
Ok. Navigation is back working. I have no clue what was wrong. Lol. But thanks for all the help.

Can I get Google Navigation on my HTC Desire?
Yes you can! And it does not involve any hacking or rooting. All you need to do is install Brut's Google Maps MOD next to your existing Google Maps app and you're all set.
You might also find Nav Launcher useful with this MOD.

This is voice guided turn by turn, presumably.
Unless you mean yours does this already?
i havent tried it but dont think its turn by turn. just tested the navigation bit.
Unless you're in the US, it's not turn by turn.
I have tried google navigation and it doesn't work. It always says destination not accessible.
go to the market download nav launcher then select the brut maps and install viola

I'm pretty sure it should work on Desire if anyone shared APK from their Nexus One. Try searching N1 forums for it.
My desire got an update for google maps yesterday. In the list of new additions that came with the update was "Navigation(beta)". I havent been able to get it to work though
has anyone got voice to work?

Yeah, is the file available anywhere else please? I'm curious to try it.
Used it for the 1st time yesterday to get from Nottingham to Bedford and it worked great. The satellite map overlay is rather interesting to use and the traffic updates on the map its a great function.
I was using it through my bluetooth car kit and had the music playing on my desire so the voice directions didnt work but i loved it (The voice when it does work is crap though lol).
I dl Nav Launcher from the market place, when I ran it it asked if I wanted to use brut maps, i said yes and it dl it.
Followed the instructions in "treble4's" post and works a charm.
THANKS

It's something to do with the rom not being verified or something? It doesn't show many paid apps.
PacMan was only free for G1 users it was $9.99 for everyone else.

Is anyone else experiencing a horrible screen flicker while trying to play Pac-Man?
I tried it last week and experienced the flicker described above so I uninstalled it.
On the topic of Google Earth, I found an apk for it. It was cool, but despite being shown as a 5MB+ file it ate up 20MB+ of storage. Didn't really offer anything over the regular Map app apart from the "Wow" factor so I got rid of that too.

Every time I pull up my task manager to close out apps I find Google maps running even though I never opened it.
Is it triggered by another app, like Facebook possibly?
Er sorry, I thought I was in the Q&A forum. If one of the mods want to move this I'd appreciate it.
Download Autostarts from the Play store. You can prevent anything and everything from running on its own. One of the best root apps out there. It will also show you what the triggers are that cause it to start up.

It may depending on the app. It would be easier to just freeze apps that you don't need or use. If you get an error because of a dependency, it's usually far easier to defrost the app than to reinstall it (especially if it is categorized as a system app).

I think I'd prefer that option although I realize re-installing Maps wouldn't exactly be a hassle. It isn't really eating up battery or getting in the way I just wondered why it was always there when I knew I hadn't manually opened it.
Thanks for chiming in, the more I learn the better I enjoy my phone.
Full credit goes to author of the below thread. Got Google Now working 99% on my stock rooted Tmobile GS3. What is the 1% not working? Once you launch the app if you dont perform any search, back button does not exit the app. So need to close it from task manager. Also sometimes after you enter the search text, enter key does not initaite the search, so hit menu -> refresh. Other than that the cards, talk back, quick and accurate response, voice search etc works just fine.

Try to reinstall it beacuse on my device I am able to exit Google Now with the back button. I am rooted running FreeGSM R5, Faux Kernel and High Def In Color theme.
i'm guessing we're ARMv7? and which of the 5 apk's did you use?

so even if we already have an older version of Google Now, same steps? it'll overwrite the old one, right?

y sir, atleast with me it did.
Do the cards take a while to show up because I've had it installed for a few hours but still don't get the weather card. I'm using the mikey m6. Everything else works.
t-mobile sgs3 stock rom/rooted
Stupid question but have you asked for the weather ? Because that was the first thing I asked and started getting cards. Also when in the app hit menu and go into settings I beleive that there are more options.
I have been using it for the last 2 days and it's such a gimmick. It doesn't give me the cards that I am expecting and need and most of the time I do a voice search instead of a card I get thrown to Google even tho I have a card set up for let's say my favorite sport team. Kind of wack.

How do I remove it? Google Now is one of those products that's probably gonna follow Google listen etc after a few years...
See u guys are getting the wrong impression of google now it does not work right with stock roms and has a phony voice. It was awesome on my gnex and was super quick and cards showed up when i needed. It finally is working great on cm 10 ....p.s. the inverted google now looks sick
Google Now will keep me from flashing to JB if the only thing that I can do with the double tap home function brings up Voice Dialer instead of Voice Search. Only fix is deleting the entire Google Search apk, which nullifies any benefit Google Now brought to the table. Sad, I actually liked the app...
Anyone having issues?
Hey guys. I was able to put Google now on my rooted SGH-T999 and it works wonderfully. I'm running CM9 and I can't wait to see what this can do. I was experiencing one issue though. Sometimes, after I search, I will click on one of the websites it shows me and the link won't open. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Or any other issues with Google Now? Thanks guys!
The only issue i have is that if your launch Google now and don't search anything, pressing the back button won't exit the app. Need to use menu > refresh. Not a big annoyance since most times the app is used to search something. I wish location services would work just using gps, but you need to enable cellular triangulation too for that. I feel like triangulation will drain battery unnecessarily.

They have fixed that issue, I am using reekotub's v3 of Google now, and it works almost perfectly. They have also made a fix where voice search can be mapped to double tapping the home key!

Has anyone had any luck installing Google Now via these instructions? Or a similar way? I've got the stock ROM and rooted. I installed the Online/Offline ReekoTubbs version via recovery mode and set the proper permissions. I'm just not seeing Google Now at all. No idea how to start it or whether it's even installed. My SGS3 looks just like it did prior to installing GN.
Thanks.
I've not installed it this way as I am running a JB rom, but try opening your Google App. There is no special icon, etc. for it. Your Google app should become Google Now (but icon, name, etc. remain just Google).

Not sure how'd this would work on the stock ROM. You'd have to find a mod that allowed it, if such a thing exists.
I'm running CM10 and I've set long-press on the menu button to app switcher and long-press on the home button to be Google Now. Quite liking the setup.
The Google app kinda works like Google Now but it is like a stripped down version of it. Google Now is way better..

I am using stock ICS, so I don't know if this will apply, but I hated svoice, and used this as a solution...
I installed apex launcher, and assigned the home button to launch google voice search/actions.
In svoice: settings>launch s voice(uncheck)
In apex: settings>behavior settings>homekey action>launch shortcut this i directed to a shortcut to launch google voice search.
Next, in apex: settings>behavior settings> homekey to default screen(checked)
The behavior that this causes is: when on home screen, and I press home button, h google voice search loads. If I am not on home screen, home button brings me there. So, from any where on phone, google voice search is accessible by two presses of home button. First takes me home, second loads voice search.

I am using CM10 KANK (8/25). I can start Google now search but when I tried to use the same test sentences i.e. "what´s the weather?" my Google now search shows me a google result instead of showing me the weather pop-up as shown in those many video. What do I make wrong?
