How do you navigate with this?
All you do is type in your destination, select the car at the bottom right then choose which route you want to take. The navigate button should also pop up at the bottom right

I think this is something of what we gonna see in next android os
My S4 is on steroids!!!
Thanks, some good improvements, but with no simple way to cache maps and no way at all (that I can find) to add the Zoom Buttons, I've reverted back to the previous version. Hopefully these issues will be addressed.
Im pretty sure this is common knowledge at this point... but disable location aware and location history in google location settings and get much much better battery life.
This new update is junk
They removed my places, which gives a lot of useful info. Some stuff is still in app, but only some, and it's spread all over.
Removed offline maps feature. If course you can still somewhat save what you see on screen, but come on guys, the real feature us gone. Once you save you screen maps for offline use, there's no way to pick and choose to delete them later.
Plus removed a lot of other useful things.
Navigation has been changed, and not for the better. It's not separate app, but it's within maps now.
Some part are indeed better and more fluid,
BUT OVERALL, IT'S LIKE TAKING ONE STEP FORWARD, WHILE TAKING THREE STEPS BACK IN GOOGLE MAPS DEVELOPMENT !!!

You are complaining about a beta.. something that everyone knows is clearly not perfect. So by writing in all caps that this release was three steps backwards, was nothing but pointless. Im just trying to let you know that this isnt how its gonna be forever. In my eyes, this was a great step forward and a very promising lead in the right direction.

No, that's not entirely true
I was not complaining, but constitutional the facts.
I've tried nothing apps, old & new version, side by side on 2 phones.
And according to official Google post in blog about this new release, Google itself clearly states that things I've "complained" about, are gone from app.
And as soon as version 7 came out, majority of reviews on play store, reflect the same very negative opinion.

Google play finally has the ability to delete uninstalled apps from your downloaded
List. I've been waiting for this for a long time.
Works on nexus 7.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/1...bility-to-remove-apps-from-the-all-apps-list/
Awesome, still waiting for my update to be pushed out. Been waiting for that feature a long time.
Now all they need to do is add a feature to hold the list in the same place you left it once you've removed an app...
I swear I've got muscles in my fingers like Schwarzenegger's got in his arms from all the swiping I've done today, removing three years worth of junk apps, and having to scroll down 20+ pages every single time... :/

will this be released naturally/automatically? Or is the only way to have this by downloading manually?

They should also add a list of purchased apps. You might have bought something that's not necessarily currently installed as it was removed for space reasons.
Just flashed gapps again after updating my ROM. Wonder if I got sent to the back of the queue line lol.
I believe they used to have more tabs. Would like to see a sort option or at least separate by paid/free.

Just to let you all know, multiwindow does not work on this build. Yes, I long-pressed the back button multiple times and it doesn't work. Might need to be updated like the international version did before it is functional. Kinda sucks, figured they would have launched it with that.
Can you check screen recording? I know it was removed from the international, but one can hope.

Video recording is such an important feature that Sprint will have so many people breathing down it's collective neck. They will have to fix it or risk public derision equivalent to Sony and their run in with Anonymous...ok maybe not that far, but you get the point.

To all the people pointing out that flow doesn't work in Google Search (or similar areas) and claim it's okay, let me remind you that with the 4.2 keyboard, swiping is available everywhere, even where predictions aren't. Just because some searches are not standard (e.g. dotson817), the vast majority of my searches are with English words.
Either the API for swiping anywhere is locked, or SwiftKey dropped the ball. Seeing as to how long this beta took to drop, I'm guessing the latter.

Not working in form fields is one thing. But it doesn't work in comment boxes too, so replying to online forums is a pain.

I can see a big difference personally between the official and the beta. The beta was driving me crazy for awhile, the official makes my life way easier.

Should automatically transfer as long as you didn't delete the beta before installing the regular SwiftKey. SwiftKey stores all of your data on your SD card (external I think) so you can easily transfer your data.

I really like it and it's a nice keyboard, but I've grown so accustomed to the Android 4.2 keyboard for now. Until I get sick of it (I usually do get sick of things rather quick and need a change), I'll give this one another try.

Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
This is a terrible revamp. We've lost starred places, easy offline caching, a separate nav app, on screen zoom buttons and scale, and the UI is more cumbersome for mapping/nav functions. The UI is more beautiful and is arguably better for casual info. But what is the point of maps? Beauty or real map functions?
For those that want the upgrade 7.0.2 attached.
This is probably the wrong thread but does anyone have the previous Google maps apk before the update to 7. I can't stand the new maps. I don't know why Google is insisting on becoming more like crApple. Neat UI but 15 steps to get to navigation, no dedicated way to lookup addresses in your contacts, once in navigation no way to check other route alternatives other than to back out of navigation, can't run navigation and then open maps to search for other places independent of navigation, and the list goes on. Why would you update an app and take away a bunch of great features.

Just so everyone knows you can still get a navigation shortcut . use a different launcher any beside Twiz
.... Long press home screen>> Shortcuts>> Activities>>Maps>> Navigation

I totally understand... Here's the old one. Just extract it from zip and install. I had to zip it due to xdas file size upload constraints...

Thanks for reminding me... I meant to go into activities to make or see if available a few days ago but forgot. Thanks for the conformation!
Like the new look!
