Apparent Lost Functionality in Navigation

jmccoy70

Updated DroidX to Gingerbread and the Nav App no longer provides the four functions

Car

Bus / Public Transportation

Train

Walking

Current version shows only two options -- Car and Walking

What am I doing wrong?

Just noticed same issue on Xoom running Honeycomb?????

Are you updated to the most recent version of Google Maps, it should be 5.5.0 on market.

jmccoy70

Yes, I am at 5.5.0. I am assuming that the upgrade to that is where I lost the ability to navigate by Bus / Public Transport.

Are you running 5.5? Do you have the option to navigate by bus or train?

Yes I have 5.5.0 but as for Bus / Public Transport option I never seen those options, the only options I have had was Walk and Drive unless you are speaking od another option and area for this menu..

Up until around the time of the Gingerbread update I could choose "Bus" and I would get a list of Bus Route numbers, Transfer Intersections, Transfer times and a Map of the Path.

Now with 5.5.0 I see the same screeen that you are showing above with no option to choose Bus or Train.

Since I no longer drive, the Buss option was very handy.

It seems that Maps has been updated to include the transit option in the Navigation beta.

You can also download maps to be available offline.
