Google Maps/Navigation 6.14.3

I have been wanting to post this so maybe can get Google and others' attention

Anyway, I am now using Google Maps everyday that 

I have gathering some tips maybe useful to you

1. There is a maps and navigation app

But you only know Google maps when you installed or pre-installed

you can find the navigation (blue up arrow) in all program and drag

into home screen

I collected lots of app and put under a folder on screen as in

2. I am still running 6.14.3 as ver 7 is still not stable yet

so email to me and I will you the apk to installed back old version

and this post is only mostly applicable to version 6.14.3

3. Why separate icons? you will know when you choose navigator

By the way, on this screen set your home address and you can use Go home shortcut

This give you the best immediate maps when you driving

(Although I am still looking for the short cut to this options -

I have tried widget Maps air to airport on the home screen  -
but this is only two clicks away)

4. Keep the navigator on and you can choose the next location

via under option on bottom right - More option

5. Best search for location is via maps

(navigator a bit less flexible and that's the difference)

Divert your attention back to Maps for a while

you choose places via many short cut 

eg ris for Paris ris

batok for bukit batok

use short form as in st for street

and dr for drive

the more you use, the more cache maps collect

another tips is that you use whatever addresses show on maps

then you click on that wrong address and correct to eg Paris ris Street 53

or choose and landmark places

and choose few locations on screen

eg bus stop

But  the best is ask for the postal codes for lots of foreigners with weird accents.

Please update me if you have others short cut name

6. or you can update your personal dictionary in the Android setting

for lot of singapore road name

This is just a quick guide

so need your feedback to polish this post

Hopefully google and other users can get notice of this

Thanks in advance

Cheers !
