Google Maps Not Working *Please Help*



Hello,

I need some help regarding the google maps application. Google maps are a big part of my phone and I always use it to get to places I am not familiar with, so it's a pretty important app to have. I have been using this app for a long time now and I also started to flash firmware and root phones. I am currently flashed to a pre-rooted version of Lollipop 5.0 and now my google maps is not working.

The problem I have is, when I start navigation the arrow or cursor moves into a random area and it glitches out it does not stay with my location, it always drifts off the map and goes into a different location and it's really slow to realize where I am at. I haven't had this problem EVER until now when I flashed my firmware, I am thinking maybe flashing it has something to do with this issue.

I am updated to the latest version and no matter what I do I still can't seem to find the solution as I been looking and doing some research for a while now.

If someone could help me find the solution on how to fix this, you would be a life saver and wouldn't know how to thank you.

Google maps navigation question



So, fresh out of ios for the last few years I really got use to Google maps having banner notifications while in a different app and navigating.

It seems this is missing on the Android app. It must be doable because I get banner notifications for my phone and music apps.

Curious if anyone has any insight on why this great feature is missing, and if there's any word on it possibly being added.

[Q] Current location widget similar to Google Maps Navigation widget?



Complete noob here but I'm asking incase something like this already exists or perhaps it isn't possible.

Is it possible to create a widget that shows current location using google maps or another map? where the marker moves along with where I am in my city? Kind of like a minimap for the homescreen.

There's an app in the playstore called 'where i am widget demo' that does something similar to what I'm looking for, but the app's quality is really bad.

Any help or nudge in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
