It sounds like your device hardware (GPU) is not compatible with Streetpilot and you get "black" screen. As far as I know, there is no fix :(

Thank you flagmax,
i don't get blank screen.
The app just runs and then returns to the android desktop screen leaving the blue triangle garmin icon in the "taskbar" , but when i click on it nothing happens.
Anyone with Nexus 7 here? :(
-
Thats a first one for me. I suggest getting a logcat from the device to see if it's loading all the Streetpilot libraries on Start and maybe we can get a better idea what's it doing.

Hello,
I use the Huawei G8 with Android Lollypop 5.1.
I patched the APK for use on "Storage\SDcard1\Android\Data\Com.garmin.android.apps.gmobilext"
In that location there is a directory "files".
In that files directory I coppied the Garmin directory with the needed languages and voices.
After installation, and when I start Streetpilot, It starts OK but I can not change any language or voice, and I have no map.
Gmapprom.img for Europe is in the system directory.
Like this it works fine on my tablet (Galaxy Tab3 - 7 inch).
What went wrong here ? Did I have to follow a different procedure to install it ?
-
Maybe the path is wrong or misspelled? You will find another "Garmin" folder somewhere else on your device Streetpilot created and is currently using. Also reboot your device after installing.
For maps, just make "Map" folder in Garmin folder and put all maps there. (../Garmin/Map/Europe.img)

Hi Flagmax,
Many thanks for the usefull tip.
After a cold boot of the Phone, everything works fine.
Thanks a lot.

Dear Sir,
Does not work on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 - Model SM-T715Y. Android version 5.0.2
1. Phone is not rooted
2. The street pilot can run after crashing upon first start up. After the initial set up screen it cannot detect the map. I am using cGPSmapper map from malfreemaps.com.
3. Landscape bug still exists.
Appreciate any help to fix this.
-
Try regular version, I believe that bug was only in Android 5.0 and was fixed later.
I don't have experience with cGPSmapper maps but in post #1 under Warning section, there is a link for a work around. It could also be wrong map folder. Make a ../Garmin/Map/ folder and put all the maps in there. I hope it will help you.
-
The map folder was correct ../Garmin/Map/ but still no joy. I also have tried the GARMIN.NT version map but still it cannot detect the map.
Well, thank you for the suggestion above. Let us wait and see if a workaround is available in the future....
