Droid Navigation for G1

[ole_rascal]

hmmm...did it via the terminal still no love... maps are there, but no navigate option.

yeah i want to do this through terminal, but waiting on yall results

something is wrong here...i installed and re-installed it, i get success all the way, but i don't get the navigate option...wth? maybe i should try it through the terminal...

I did mine thru the terminal but I used 2 different links. I did the 2 builds from this link.http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=196 And since I already had the new maps.apk installed I used the second link to install the maps.apk.http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=292 After I did the ash, remount and install, nothing. Rebooted and it was there.
I know this is kind of convuluted but it worked for me. I already had the Eclair maps. If you don't already have the new maps.apk just try one or the other.

Make sure you have CyanogenMod 4.2.3.1, by the way.

1) Unzip zip to desktop
2) Run Part 1.bat
3) When prompted to press any key, do so; the phone will reboot
4) When your phone is running again, run Part 2.bat
5) When prompted to press any key, the installation process is done.
6) Make sure GPS is enabled
7) Open Maps and press OK
8) Press Menu
9) Press Directions
10) Enter an end point
11) Click Go
12) Just under "Show on map", click Navigate.
13) When prompted to install the voice codec, do so.
14) Enjoy.

That's the 1st one I tried, run part1.bat worked and run part2.bat failed. Now that I think about it, it was probably because I Already had the new maps.apk.

only if it worked on the mytouch

Yup, that's why, also for some reason a lot of people are having to uninstall google voice as well to get it working, I didnt. I am trying it on a Hero Rom now.

Put it on your G1. I've been looking for a car cup holder now that we have turn by turn navigation, for free.

it took me four tries but i got it working .
this is how i did it (i changed one step from your directions). download and unzip the build.zip file onto the root of your sd .
download-->http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...7&d=1257915476

in terminal type(type exactly . watch for capital letters , spelling , and spaces)..

su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cp /sdcard/build.prop /system
cp /sdcard/build.trout.prop /system
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
rm /system/sd/dalvik-cache/*Maps*
rm /system/app/*Maps*
ash
mount -o remount,rw /system
install /sdcard/Maps.apk /system/app/
reboot

after you reboot , you will notice that there is no google maps icon . go into your drawer , its now called maps .

Sprint navigation works really good, I'll have to compare it to this one soon.

Have you tried it yet? Though you could use it walking too, but not. I wish there were some different voices.
