Anyone having Sat Nav problems with the SGS2?

    As title suggests?


    Anyone else having difficulty using navigation via google maps lately?

    Previously, when I would select a point on the map I wanted to head to, the Navigation would appear on a 3D style system, showing bends in the road, side roads, etc etc etc.

    Just noticed yesterday, was in unfamiliar territory (Dundalk) and wanted a bit of help navigating to a particular housing estate I have never been to before.

    However, the 'navigation' has been changed (on my phone anyway) to a 2D style overhead map which is of no use whatsoever. :mad:

    Reminds me in the iphones system tbh.

    Tried tinkering around withthe settings to see if I could restore the previous 2D style view on the map, but dont seem to be able to revert back.

    have attached a pic so you guys can understand what I mean.

    Thanks for all your (upcoming) help. ;)

    I can't help you with google maps, but try OSMAnd (or OSMAnd+ paid version, but exactly the same code) and FasterGPS. I using that set for quite a while and works fine.

    It's working as always on my sgs2. I think the method of travel of selected when looking for directions
    . I.e. by foot or by car has an impact
    I think when you select by foot the overview is displayed!?
