New versions of Maps and Google Now might break navigation initiation. I had to revert to version 9.2.0 for Maps and 4.1.29.1706998 for the Google app before navigation could be initiated by the watch again. If I started navigation on the phone first it worked fine on the watch. Anybody else have this issue?
Yes, apparently. If I try to start navigation on the watch, it says "Calculating route..." and then "Check on phone", but never actually starts navigating.
Me too.

When trying to use google maps & the built in turn by turn navigation it will load up then just say searching for gps & it never locks on & doesn't give me the voice guided turn by turn anymore. Google maps is up to date, gps is on & showing in the status bar, & I have tried in numerous locations with the same result. Am I alone on this one?
This has happened to me a few times with diff ROMs even. GPS test app shows that there are sufficient sats in view but the system never locks in. Next day it works fine.
Could be radio or kernal related. Try clearing data and cache. Probly wont help but can't hurt.
Do you open maps first then navigation? For some reason, when I open just navigation, it will do what you say and never lock on. Get to navigation by typing the address in to maps and then hitting driving navigation.
does the same in mine no matter what... i dunno what to do. running incredibly re engineered rom (newest one)
Driving around while trying to get a lock can cause it to take a little longer... Cloudy skies can do this also. Being inside a building can also interfere.
If you just have standalone GPS turned on, well that's your problem right there. The other two assist in getting a GPS lock alot quicker. The other two that I'm talking about is Google's and VZW's Location Services. Those two will also help get a better and more precise position aswell.
NOTE: Navigation. If this was a fresh/wipe install or you get stuck at "Checking Navigation Availability" do the following:
1) Turn on GPS
2) Start Maps
3) When prompted turn on WiFi (do not need to connect to any)
4) Map should then show approximate location
5) Get out of maps
6) Reboot
6) Start Navigation
I think this stuff is all on the right track. Here's my method (I get the same thing on a de-sensed stock rom):
I think Google Maps has the ability (not so great) to 'block' itself via using huge amounts of resources whereas the GPS doesn't use much resource and needs a helper app to get itself oriented the first time. Once oriented it is fine.
The one I use is a free market tool called "GPS Status" by EclipSim. It takes ~3 seconds to get a fix. So you start GPS (via power widget settings, whatever) and start GPS Status, wait a little while and you can see it locking onto satellites, and when it says first fix = ~3 seconds or ~30 seconds, (it depends on some unknown conditions), then close it and you can use navigation because it knows where it is.
Worth a shot. I've been doing that since the 'dawn of droids'.
I completely unrooted my phone and no matter what I do it will not get a GPS lock. I deleted Google maps and redownloaded it, uninstalled updates, tried every combination of settings in location, etc. and nothing.
I tried on my wife's stock incredible also and it immediately locks on to her location and starts the turn by turn navigation without any issues.
I think there was something wrong with the internal GPS chip/locator in the phone itself. I contacted Verizon and they are sending me out another replacement. Hopefully this one works properly.
Thanks for all the replies guy's but it looks like the phone is just defective.
read on another thread to wipe dalvik cache. So I tried it and it works. After initial wipe, GPS quickly acquired satellites and locked on.
So I had some weird issues while using navigation today.
I'm running stock, rooted BTW.
My navigation locks on in seconds, maps, whatever, as soon as I type in an address in nav, I'm taken right to the navigation screen. That part is good.
however, every 10 seconds or so, it seems like the navigation would lag, then catch up to my position.. as it doesn't stay locked on.
Would the AGPS patch in the dev forums fix this? I did not see this addressed anywhere in the notes.

I would try clearing data and cache for Maps in Application Manager. (maps is nav) and if that does not work, uninstall MAPS and reinstall from Google Play.
I'm having a devil of a time trying to switch my default navigation app to Waze. I'm bone stock, non-rooted. Tried clearing the defaults for Maps, Google Search and Waze, but no luck. Did a lot of Googling, but nothing seems to work. I want to be able to say "OK Google, navigate to xxxx" and have it go right to Waze. Each time I try it, it goes into navigation mode on Google Maps. If it makes any difference, I'm running Nova Launcher. When in my car dock, I run Car Dashdroid.
I think the ok Google feature is limited to Google apps. So it will always default to maps. It doesn't seem to have a default setting.
I can't start navigation my Moto 360 for some reason. I used to be able to say a location, and it would open Maps on my phone, and the navigation would start. Now when I try to navigate to a location it says to check phone to continue, bur nothing is there when I check my phone. It the Android Wear app on my phone it says for navigation that it's using Maps Micro, not sure what that is and why it's not the full Google Maps. I'm on CM 12 on my Note 3. I tried reinstalling Maps, and restarting my watch.
I have the same problem. I just got my Moto360 and was under the impression, that one could start a navigation directly on my watch.
Anybody?
A fix was pushed out via the phones maps update yesterday. Motorola recommended giving about 20 minutes after the app updates on the phone for the changes to sync to watch

And it's still not working. At least not for me...
The downgrade of maps worked on my LG G watch . Thanks for the link.
I had a similar problem with my Huawei Watch + Note 4 (stock). My Smartwatch 3 does not have the same issue, so I figured it had somethong to do with using the GPS in the phone vs the GPS in the watch, which to the best of my knowledge there is none in the Huawei. So I pulled the phone out of my pocket, opened my LED Flip Wallet case, put my phone in standby, and gave the navigation command on the watch. Surprise surprise, it worked! But, I noticed the screen came on on the phone and "Maps" opened. So I then closed the flip wallet, tried again. This time I got the error on the watch, Can't Start Navigation. Seems like it's the flip case! That's too bad, I really like my flip case.
So in short, if you're using a Samsung and one of their flip wallet or S-View cases, that could be your culprit. Seeing as Android Wear is Google and the cases and phones are Samsung, I doubt either party is going to help us with this issue. Hoping someone smarter than I can come up with a software solution or settings workaround for this here on XDA!
premium dual international version
latest version of Google Maps
not sure why for a long time now I would start navigation and after several minutes I would get 'GPS Signal lost'
sometimes it wont even have voice audio to tell me and I'll miss my turn..very frustrating.
I have to check the phone, go back into Maps and it'll reconnect.
I put by the center console so it's not like it's being obstructed by signal.
GPS is on high-accuracy.
Just tried taking battery optimization away from Google Maps to see if that does the trick.
If it doesn't how do o calibrate the GPS again?

At one point Maps popped up a window saying I should calibrate my compass. It was just like the way you find on the Internet when you do a Google search, gold the phone in your hand, make a figure eight while rolling the phone from face up to face down several times.
Edit: with an app open that uses your compass.
