[Q] Google Maps verus Mock Locations - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, I recentrly tested a few apps from the market changing the location using fake gps points. All of them work perfect but the locations sent via apps ( facebook for example) they show Bing maps not Google ones. I prefer gmaps because for my country they show every single street and building. Bing hasn't done that yet. Could you please advice me what app works with google sources?

Try Google+ ?
I bet Google doesn't use Bing maps lol.

I realized. It depends on what you are viewing the location. If from an android device it shows google. If from a broswer desktop - bing.

Touch a spot on the map to get an address then touch the address. You then should be able to select street view, It's the icon of a man on the right.

Sorry to drag up an old thread, but I am using Wolf's latest stable ROM and I have installed Google Street View add on from the market, but it crashes every time I try and use it. I was wondering if there was a solution for this? I've had a search and was reading about it in Wolf's thread on the development forum, but I couldn't see a solution.
Any help would be great.

The latest Google Maps allows you to download map sections for offline use.
I can confirm co-pilot works on Galaxy tab retail 10.1. I do have a 30 day trial apk if you want to test it before you purchase it. It you like it, pm me with your email and I can send it to you. Co-pilot downloads and store maps on to your device. And you have choice to region or states you want to download.

facebook app can not open

Anyone got problem opening Facebook app on Android touchpad?
Install FAKE GPS from market and set a location. Facebook needs GPS in order to work.

If you use Facebook v1.5.2 you don't need fake GPS. Its definitely an older version but it doesn't require you to have another app running just to use Facebook.

Individual app monitor

Is there an app like cpu spy but that will show which individual apps are eating up battery? Something is causing my media android process to continue nonstop

Better Battery Stats is probably what you're looking for.

I'm having network location locator running from Google maps. It did the same thing last night. I haven't run maps. Would Google now have anything to do with this? Any thoughts?

Yes. For Google Now to do its magic, it needs to periodically check your current location. It uses Maps for this. There's an option in the Maps settings where you can disable the updating of your location automatically if you desire, but then Now won't be able to alert you for traffic conditions, local weather, bus stop info, nearby sports info, etc. Although you can set most of those things manually.

[Q] Foursquare Check-In Google Now

I was wondering if it's possible to check-in with foursquare in Google Now, instead of with Google's service?
I don't believe you can.
