Google Maps update

There seems to be an updated version of the Maps application on the Market according to some tech sites. Is there a way for those of us with a gnex and in a country where maps is unavailable to get the update? Maps is a big battery hog for me and the new update is supposed to fix just that.

Google Now

Anyone using it?
For me it usually just shows the weather. I also noticed that it does not do a local search on the tablet, a possible fallout from the samsung galaxy nexus / apple injunction? . When I go into the settings it also won't let me designate my teams under the sports card. If I do a google search for say chicago cubs scores, it shows the scores in google search, but does not show a card in google now? What are other people's experiences ?

Ha, fellow Cubs fan here. I've just gotten the weather as well...but I only turned it on today. I keep asking it all sorts of questions about things I want updates on- the Cubs, Mark Webber, etc. hoping it will get the hint. I guess only time will tell.
In regards to my nexus phone; I only seem to get the route home traffic and map when I'm on wifi which is pretty redundant.
I've sort of given up using it. Does anyone love it for any great reason? Not even opened it on N7

I've been trying to get it to work for the past few days but no luck at all yet..... Don't even get the weather..... I'll give it another few days days anyways but finding it a bit crap so far tbh..

Have u activated Google now or not? Even I didn't get even the weather card for the first two days... Then I saw that it needs to be turned ON in the settings... Even after I did I get only the weather card..

I get all kinds of info from mine. It tells me when I have to leave tone on time for appointments. It tells me traffic to and from work. It keeps me informed on weather. Even keeps me up to date on sports scores.
The trick is you have to turn on web search history on your Google Dashboard.

I think I'm being blind. Where is web search history?

I have had pretty good luck with it as well. Weather, sports scores during and after games for both my AL and NL teams - previews showing matchups before games start, even so much so that if I use maps on my phone it'll show me traffic / estimated travel time there on my tablet.
So I was able to get my sports teams to finally show up. To do this I first went to google dashboard and enabled web search to a more liberal setting. I then had to go into Google Now settings and disable or turn off the sports card. I then went to settings and cleared the data for google search, then relaunched Google Now. It reprompted me to allow things, and when I navigated back to settings in Google Now, I reenabled the sports card , and when I did, the Cubs where pulled up and I could edit my teams.
A process you might want to try if it is being flaky..

Ask it how the red sox did today. It told me they won 15-7.. they actually lost. All sports scores are always 5-10 mins behind when I ask. also, automatic cards pop up to tell me the weather and how far from home or work I am, never anything useful. I have been nothing but disappointed with it and may stop trying to use it for now till it improves(it will).

I don't need Google Now to tell me the Royals lost again but it would be nice.

How do you set it to have a card for traffic to WORK? I have the one that's always there for home but no matter what I try I never have one for work. How do I set a work location?

Yep this world for me. Thanks a lot.
I just want it to learn my daily commute. I make one trip from my house to a location about 15 miles away to pick something up, and then return home. I do this towards the end of rush hour, and sometimes get caught in traffic because of x y and z. It would be nice if Now could alert me to traffic info before my commute as I've seen it can do in demos.
I've taken the nexus with me every day since I got it and its told me nothing yet. Will having now enabled the search history make a difference?

Try checking in to the place using Latitude, or adding it as a stored location with Latitude/Maps.
I manually set my work place and it brings up the travel details for me. Before that it wasn't picking it up automatically, though to be fair I didn't give it more than a trip or two to work before I did it manually.
I'll try when I get there tomorrow. Thanks.

Sure wish I could figure out how to get the work traffic card, lol

Yes, its not working for many people, I guess the service is down. Which sucks, Facebook timescape integration is broken for quite some days now, weather widget is broken now, what else is will break?
That explains it then.thank you guess they must be having server issues, or they have been taken down for maintenance.

[Q] Sygic Mobile Maps 10

Hello,
I have tried to install sygic mobile maps 10 on my note ii because it is the only gps that has a Cyprus map(igo also has but i dont like it). When i try to run the app, it firce closes....It seems that is not combatible with jelly bean...Is there any way to fix that?
Thanks in advance!
I purchased Sygic this past week and it works perfectly.
Have you gotten it from Google play?
Sent from my GT-N7100
Sounds like you are trying to use an outdated, and most likely pirated version. Try getting it from the play store as suggested above. It's worth it.
P.S. it is not referred to as Mobile Maps anymore, which is how I knew you were using an old version.
Mine crashes constantly.

I use it constantly with no problems, you must be doing something wrong... Try removing and reinstalling from the app store, try also to delete the Sygic folder from your sd and redownload.
Never having single force close on play store version, Even i have maps on ext sd card.
Since note2 i have used v12 + and always works flawless.

I am certain we are the norm and they are the exceptions.
May be the difference is just market /non market version

Same thing here (I used Directory Bind) and I have no issues whatsoever. I have more than 3.5gb of sygic data and no issue at all.
And if you have an original version, then contact Sygic to help you with an upgraded license. They are really helpful in that.

I have a similar issue with the one from the play store, I get the sygic screen with a blank but where the map should be where it hangs until it force closes.
However in my case it may be the dpi setting I have causing the issue

If u want ive the latest sygic.apk )
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
The apk can be LEGALLY installed from the Play Store, the maps are what you have to pay for. Besides, what you are proposing is against the rules at xda.
Who said i was proposing it illegally? Maybe i want to give him my account etc??
Still ty for your warn. But i know what i do x
The apk can be installed (free) on playstore as u mentioned but just for 1 week then it will force u to buy again x)

I have Sygic as my day-to-day sat-nav in the UK (purchased from Play store).
I was looking to download the maps for Cyprus, ahead of a holiday there in a couple of months, but they only appear to be available as part of a bundle of eastern European countries - and I don't really want to pay £30-odd for the rest of which I don't need
Is there any way of getting just Cyprus?
