I miss that feature too! I remember the my location dot would progress with you as you drive to your destination. Now it doesn't, not liking that! :-(

I have confirmed that it, in fact, DOES follow you when you move. If it didn't i would probably still be in Alton, IL right now.

Y'know, being out on the road today, I found that it no longer did that for me, either. Unless it was because I didn't tap somewhere on the map to have it stop focusing on the next direction.

And, it would always go into Sleep Mode if I didn't touch it. I could've sworn it stayed lit when giving directions.

Yeah the sleep mode thing happens to me, but it definitely follows my dot.

This is exactly why I like Google over Sprint Navigation or Garmin that I had on my Touch Pro. It is waaay more accurate.

I have found that the i can fix the problem with the map not following the Location Dot pretty simply: It works only if I open the Google Maps app, go home and turn on my GPS, then go back to Google Maps. If I activate GPS prior to opening the App, then I get the problem.

Hope that helps someone out. Ill be switching over to Damage when I find time next week.
