Google Maps Not Working On Android Phone

When I drive a rental car and need to rely on my Google maps based navigation system, having my phone in a good position is essential. This system mounts on the windshield so it does not leave markings behind. The arm is very flexible to the phone can be positioned just right. Everything about this product is just right.  Through many trips, it never came off the windshield and the phone was always kept securely in place.

Well priced and works well with my Android Google Pixel phone and laptop. You won't be disappointed.

The bezels are a bit large for this year, and the battery arrived at 0% (suggesting it spent a long time in a warehouse), but this is a great phone for the (sale) price. Took a long time to update to the latest and only learned after the fact that I could have flashed it with the latest Android bypassing the intermediary steps. It pays for itself in months in free Google Photo storage if you are an avid image creator. The only issue I've noticed is that sounds played through the browser sound far worse than in my other Android phones. This is likely a firmware/software issue that Google isn't even aware of and as such, given their inability to take in bug reports, will probably never fix. I took the Verizon SIM card out before updating and it was hard to connect to Wi-Fi at first, but in the end, after all the updates, there was no Verizon crapware. I have been using the phone only on Wi-Fi so I cannot confirm that it works with other providers, but I don't expect that to be an issue moving forward. I wish it came with a cover, as most phones do these days, but I was able to order one on eBay for $3.

TheGarmin drive 53 is fantastic. No more bad direction using google maps.

By working with my Windows tablet via USB and my android phone via Bluetooth, this printer offers me flexibility and creates quality labels. Allowed me to get rid of an old standalone clunky label printer, and still have portability.

Brought for Android Mobile phone, working good record crispy and clear voice, definitely recommend the friends who need it.

I’m a diehard iOS and google maps user. But I wanted this for the motorcycle. I absolutely love it and so glad I went this route.

Solid build, great software, and I love making groovy routes on Google Maps and feeding them to my Zumo XT...

Bought unit to help with multiple motorcycle trips. google maps would sometimes take me to gravel roads and sometimes I lost coverage and then maps. the XT allows me to avoid gravel and it is so much easier to view than the phone was. So Far, great. Will be taking a trip this week where there is no cell coverage. I find more out then. Take the time to learn base camp, that is the key.

I hadn't owned a portable navigation system in at least 10 years but I'm so glad I got one again. Bought it on a road trip where I was getting bad cell reception. Totally saved me!! Most people don't realize that your Google Maps and Waze apps on your smartphone don't connect with a satellite, they connect with a cell tower. So if you're phone reception is weak or non-existent you're going to be without navigation. Not only that but even when you do have reception the location beacon for Google Maps is often WAY off. Dangerously so. With the Garmin you never have to worry about any of that. It's accurate and precise. Great for rural areas! And great for people who travel off the interstates on a road trip! With the turn by turn navigation the voice tells you much more helpful instructions than you get in Google Maps or Waze! For example. At the 2nd traffic light, turn left, and then continue straight. Or In 500ft turn left at the Capital One. The traffic system works great and updates instantly in real time. Love the way it shows slightly sluggish traffic even if there's no accident or construction and shows free flowing traffic. Also it's really nice that there are no extra car attachments needed like with Sirius-XM for example. It's just the cigarette lighter power charger, the touchscreen device, and that's it. WELL worth $140.
