Are any Android users here getting a "force close" when they use Google navigation with map tracking on? I have consistently been getting it within minutes of starting the app for several months now. I already did an intensive search on the (apparently very well known) issue. I've tried every fix that's worked for someone or another except for a complete wipe of my phone, which I'm simply too lazy to do for this one misbehaving app. Just curious on if anyone else here has run into the issue. It's been super frustrating for me, because my biggest use of Nav is for finding something in an unfamiliar, crowded, and traffic heavy downtown area of wherever I might be for work or personal stuff. It of course force closes exactly where I need it most. It will sometimes run in the background after "force close" with audio only, which is even more frustrating, because I'll get the "turn here" just as I pass the street I need to turn on, where a visual would have let me see I was approaching it.
On the bright side, I've rediscovered the Telenav update called "Scout" (for Sprint phones). I had the old Telenav running simultaneously with Google on my first EVO phone, but found that Google had a bit more to offer so never really used it since then. With my Google Nav frustration, I remembered Telenav and figured it would be a good temporary workaround. I installed Scout a few days ago, and I have to say it is excellent. A great improvement over the old Telenav, and it includes many "Google features" like quick shortcuts to food, lodging, fuel, etc., except in a much, much better format. The fuel addition is especially good, as it also finds you diesel fuel and prices, which I have found lacking even in separate apps designed for fuel finding only. I've often fretted on a longer trip about where to get diesel based on an app, only to find a station(s) way closer than the app has listed. This Scout app seems to catch way more diesel stations than anything else I've used.
