This is the first phone I've had problems with Google Maps. For some reason it's zoomed out following my route there is no say to get it closer. Ive cleared cache and data of the app. No joy. Can't think what else. Making navigation hard as can't seem to follow the route properly. Thanks

Hey, not an HTC 10 owner (galaxy s7 edge) but my google maps navigation just started doing the same thing today, it's a complete pain in the ass. Guess it's an app problem rather than your phone!
Maybe google play services has updated something and broken it!
Likewise on my LG Ultimate II, since yesterday.
I've found that the zoom-out issue only occurs when the phone is tilted (wide rather than tall), and only when "Tilt Map" is checked in the Navigation Settings. Unfortunately, that's precisely how I prefer to use it.
Hmm glad I'm not the only 1 then. Thought it was my new HTC10 being the problem.

I'm guessing it was some update which has screwed with it. Which is REALLY annoying!

I've already tried turning tilt off and on messing around with options doesn't make any difference. I always have my phone in landscape while driving. Haven't had chance to try in portrait.
I have noticed though if I'm on a long stretch of road it zooms right out then when I'm approaching hing a turning it does zoom in Abit more. But it's a stupid function.

Same here Sony Z3c, Send feedback to Google via the app, they obviously farked it up on the last update. I thought it was stuck in 2D mode, but its just zoomed out very far.
I note that as you get to junctions etc it does zoom in briefly, but then zooms out again afterwards.

So today I applied a couple of updates and I "think" that Beautiful Widgets was the last prior to seeing "Geolocation Problem: Location does not exist"

Google Maps. Open it and then you should be okay.

What the deuce!!!! Never have had to do that before.
Thanks for letting me know najaboy, would have never figured out the reason. Would have fixed it without knowing as I use maps all the time, just wouldn't have known what fixed it.
OK, spoke to soon. It didn't pop up but this time I got an explanation somewhat... Still don't know how to fix it:
I just got this message for the 1st time (traveling on business). I just closed this message, and it picked up the right location immediately. I have it on airplane mode during the day since I can't get signal where I am during the day, so the phone + GPS might have been in a confused state.
I got the message once yesterday, and now since 3am EST It keeps giving me this error message. Even with GPS on AND opening Google Maps.
PS - Also, I read on Androidforums something about checking the alternate geocoder, but that option is greyed out for me.
PPS - I changed from Accuweather to Google Weather and it seems to be working now.
I have the same issue .. switching to GOOGLE for weather seems to fix the issue but I dont think it is providing the correct location as accuweather did
any fix?
Interesting, never seen that...I kinda want it to happen just to be like, ha, I don't exist right now.
I have the same problem with something fix for me
First of all I'm sorry for my English as I'm from Thailand
I got the exactly same problem and I tried many way to fix it out and what is work for me is
I go to application, Manage Application, and clear the Data for Beautiful Widget
Then I remove the home widget and Add the beautiful home widgets again and set the weather service for Accuweather then thing just come up and the problem just fixed
This is work for me.
Cheers
This is a year old thread bud, safe to say this isn't a common problem.
I just picked up the GNex Friday and have noticed sometimes the screen doesn't rotate properly. I thought nothing of it until this morning when I had to shake it a few times to come out of portrait mode. I then went on to play some Raging Thunder (car racing game), and my car just makes hard lefts and crashes.
So I'm thinking there is something up with my gyrometer. I downloaded "Gyro 2D Visualizer" and can can confirm that the phone is off quite a bit.
Here is a picture of it on a flat surface, you can see how much it's off:

Anyone else have this issue? Is this bad hardware or is there a fix?
Thanks!
After your post I went to take a look with GPS Status and you were right. It's a bit off. I calibrated it right away and should be correct now.
Weird they did not add a calibrator in ICS.
Would you mind sharing how you calibrated? I have GPS Status, but I'm not sure what it wants me to do when it says "rotate your device 1-2 times around each of its 3 axes".
Also can you verify that your calibration remains after a reboot?
What you're talking about is the compass caibration. Do the following
end over end (flip); hold it with the screen up and flip it away from you making a full rotation
side over side (roll); hold it with the screen up and move it from left to right so the screen rotates left, down, up right
screen-up rotation (spin); put it on a table and spin it around
Taken from: http://androidforums.com/143593-post3.html
The 2nd one is putting your phone on the table and the pressing calibration.
Hope this helps
Ah ok, sorry for the confusion. I found the other option for "pitch and roll".
Unfortunately, loading the game yielded the same results. I tried to play Doodle Jump and I had to tilt the phone to the left to get him to bounce straight up and down.
I downloaded the gps status app and mine seemed right on, however does anyone know if this app also shows you what the barometer is reading?

AndroSensor is the only one I know of so far.
Its good to see that you guy's have solved it for your selfs.
This was one of the topics google showed me when i started having the same problem.
So now i have made a quick tutorial on how to calibrate your nexus 7.
I hope this helps many of you guy's in the near future.

Am I the only one that has problem with Photosphere and the gyroscope?

Yeah I got that too. Annoying as f**k.
Screwed up my ppl picture when I was in sphere mode. All upside down.
Anyways it's not final yet so yeah. But still I hate it.

If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^
Same problem, using the final Takju OTA - I never get a single lock-on; the point keeps drifting and at best I get one of the three lock light flashing. Given that even the help pages focus on the new Nexus 4, 7 and 10, I'm guessing we'd have to wait for the next point release to get this working.
People have been reporting success with Galaxy S 3, but not the Samsung I9000, so it's probably hardware-related, or at the very least driver-related
I have the gyroscope drifting off a bit on the first shot, subsequent shots are fine though.
Interestingly, I did a factory reset before 4.2 and it fixed the gyro issue! I can't seem to recreate the fix though. :/
Factory reset didn't help me... Seems my gyro is not only drifting, but its slow too. Hopefully Google fixes this =\
Factory reset didn't help me either -- I actually did a full reinstall from the Takju 4.1.2 factory image, because I didn't want to wait until the Yakju update, and then immediately updated to 4.2 via OTA before doing anything else beyond the initial setup.
A similar problem reported against CyanogenMod suggests that it might be due to the specific gyroscope make (the bug was not for the SGN, though). Installing Phone Tools now so I can check my gyroscope there.
No problem out here

Saturday I went to Venice (Italy) and the photosphere was working fine there, now I'm back in Avellino (Italy) and is it not working again.. :/
That's weird..
It was working for me well the other day as well... Perhaps magnetic interference?
sent from my mini tractor
I ended up flashing directly to 4.2 with a full wipe, and I have had non of the problems you describe. (Or any of the other problems people have had with 4.2).
I have however experienced while doing a photo sphere that the gyroscope isn't completely accurate. Meaning that if I go back and fourth a double of times on the first pictures, the next dot will be way of and the final sphere will be missing a part at this point and have an overlap at the end.
I've encountered something on my VZW Galaxy Nexus that appears completely new to me. I did some online research but found no one with similar problems.
To give a little background, I encountered this problem after I hit the "traffic to home" Google Now tile which took me to Google Maps. After hitting this tile, though, the graphics for traffic on my Google Maps has become very low resolution. Normally, you see two lines on each freeway, one in each direction. Right now, those lines are all blurry and overlap to the point where I can't see both lanes. It looks like this:

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If I zoom in enough, I can get it to look like it normally does, but zooming out slightly makes it go right back to fuzzy-garbage-traffic:
Anybody know what happened? I uninstalled and reinstalled Maps, but it didn't help.
I'm experiencing a similar issue on my Galaxy Note II on AT&T. I just noticed it yesterday. And it was after I flashed my phone to Cleanrom 4.7. If I zoom in closer, the lines become sharp and are no longer blurry. Not sure how to fix it.
Getting the same thing on my EVO on Sprint. It appears that people have started taking to posting comments in the Play store as well:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DEsImNvbS5nb29nbGUuYW5kcm9pZC5hcHBzLm1hcHMiXQ..
I went a step further and reported it using the "Feedback" option in the map.

I'm getting this too on my Galaxy Note on CM10.1. I think this happened after the last update. Hope they fix it soon. Very annoying?

Wiped and updated to the latest nightly of CM10.1 and the problem is gone.
So, hello everyone it's been a while.
For those who wonder what the heck is this guy,
I made this app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/themes-apps/edge-navigation-bar-button-t2950486
Anyhow, let's get to the point.
I've been around making this app... called 'On the Edge of the World', or 'the Edge of the World', or 'World Edge' to shorten a lot.
For now, it's quite simple. It basically works in three steps.
1.When loaded,(that is user swipes edge panels and World Edge shows up), it checks gps location.
2.Then it retrieves google maps image from online and shows the image on the edge panel
3.Also, it writes down the address of current location.
I have fooled my phone so that it thinks that I am at the Statue of Liberty, Liberty Island.
See the image below of the prototype I have worked on.

GPS locations are not re-called automatically after once it's loaded due to battery issue.
You can refresh your GPS location manually by clicking that Compass icon below, though.
(Yes, it's the icon from Safari. Sorry Jobs, I have always been shameless about stealing great icons.)
So that's basically it, at least for now.
What do you think? Too gimmicky?
What kind of functionality does this app need to become a killer-app?
Let me know.
Reserved just in case
Good work again. And what about battery use?
Possibly a GPS navigation system using just the edge with voice prompts. It can display an arrow when you need to turn(flashing arrow for a hundred meters or so) and have the voice telling you where to go. Make sure it has downloadable maps so it doesn't cost using wireless internet.
Good enough idea for you?

Similarly to the Google Maps micro on Wear? I could get down with that!
Love the idea, can't wait to see it in action!
