Can GPS provide live maps?

[Audiophobe]

I know it couldn't before but are there any updates for allowing live maps w/o a destination?

GPS? You mean Google Nav? You can use Google Maps if you want a 2D follow-me map. That's it. If you want a 3D follow-me map then look for a GPS nav app that offers it.

1-tap 3D Google Nav "follow me" would be nice.

But how do you access the 2D follow me map?

Start the Car Home app and choose Navigate (if you want to enter a destination) or View Map (if you just want to see your location on the map and have it follow you).

You can put in a dummy location on your route and then partially exit back out and have follow me 3D nav, but it's a pain in the ass. It's a really basic function and I can't believe it doesn't have it. I like to leave my nav running just to keep an idea where I am. It's especially awesome with satellite view.

Speedometer, in marketplace, offers a recording of location, speed and other data, based on GPS location. It records your movements, and puts on to a google map. You can play it back in real time, or even zip through it in fast forward mode. I use it for riding the canyons here in socal on my motorcycle. It is a super cool app!

Google Maps -> My Location.

Ever notice the "beta"? There are quite a few features that many consider basic that are missing.
