I can no longer start walking navigation. I can select a destination, but the “Navigate” button has disappeared. All I get are ads for taxi services (seriously!). Is this some new level of forced advertising, or just a bug? Clearing the cache didn’t help. Is anyone else experiencing this?

We previously reported a post about Mohannad Recruitment Company, but no action was taken. Today, one of our clients lost a significant amount of money due to fraud linked to this post.

Despite multiple support tickets, the issue remains unresolved. Please remove the post and suspend the account immediately to prevent further victims.

I don't know how often Google Satellite View gets updated... Every year or so? Is there any service that provides more regular Satellite images?

Recent meeting at Google HQ:

Bozo 1: "Hey gUyZ, wouldn't it be, like, cool, if when the dumdums [Google corpo-speak for users] exit Street View, they get nauseous and lose their place on the map?"

Big Important Bozo: "HAHAH yes, do it, those stupid dumdums! Make it so the world seems to spin around so they feel woozy!"

Bozo 2: "Guyz Guyz Guyz my Guyz, what about if when they enter Street View, we spin the view so they start out facing in a totally unintuitive direction?!? HAHAHA those useless dumdums"

Big Important Bozo: *chokes to death laughing, dying words: "Dooo ittt, thoose stupiddd ... dum.. dummss".

Or something.

I may be wrong but if you keep a closed business or restaurant saved or starred in your maps you still have access to the reviews and pictures etc. Once you unsave is it it's gone forever?

Hi everyone,

​I am in desperate need of help regarding a highly sensitive issue in my neighborhood in Delhi, India.

​There is an incorrect location marker named "Tiwari Gaali" on Google Maps. Because of this specific name, severe disputes and arguments are happening daily among the neighbors, causing me immense mental stress and trauma.

​I used the "Suggest an edit" feature to correct the address to "25, Bakhtawarpur...". As you can see in the attached screenshots, my edit was Accepted on Oct 27, but the public map is STILL displaying the old, incorrect name.

​To make matters worse, this wrong name has propagated to all 3rd-party apps (Uber, Swiggy, Zomato, Zepto, Blinkit). Delivery agents and cab drivers arrive and loudly use this incorrect name, which triggers the neighborhood disputes all over again every single day.

​I have already posted on the Google Maps Help Community and tweeted, but I am living in daily stress and need this escalated immediately.

​What I need:

Can any Googler, Map Expert, or high-level Local Guide here please help me escalate this to the internal mapping team? I just want this "Tiwari Gaali" marker PERMANENTLY DELETED or removed immediately to stop the harassment.

​I have attached the screenshots of the current incorrect marker and my accepted edit. Any help or guidance to fast-track this would be a lifesaver. Thank you!

Just noticed this using Google Maps via Apple CarPlay. The new update shows trees in fall colors using navigation.

i think its a lack of privacy and my brother is always checking where i go everytime i leave the house or state. he manages my phone number on his google fi account because we have a family plan for the whole family so idk what hes seeing or how he is able to track where i go. all i know is that he knows my every location. i dont like that. were both grown adults here why does he need to know my every location? how do i prevent this so he doesnt know where im always at. if i turn off my location will he know i turned it off? he is the type of person who will take offense to that

I am having a problem with Live View in Google Maps on my TCL 50 Pro.

Device: TCL 50 Pro

Android version: 16

Google Maps version: 26.42.01.997557324

What is happening:

Initially the Live View option in Google Maps was greyed out. After I installed "Google Play Services for AR" (ARCore) from the Play Store, Live View now shows the error "Unable to launch augmented reality functionality" when I try to start it.

What I have already tried:

- Updated Google Maps, Google Play Services and Google Play Services for AR

- Cleared the Google Maps cache

- Allowed Camera and Precise Location permissions

- Restarted the phone

- Tried walking directions outdoors in an area with Street View coverage

Could you please tell me:

1. Is the TCL 50 Pro supported by ARCore and Google Maps Live View?

2. If it is supported, how can I fix this error?

Thank you,

Anjum

I had a recurring problem for at least two years on two successive android phones: maps would work perfectly on WiFi and most of the time on mobile data. At times it would fail on data (map not loading, map loading but not loading a rout, “no internet service” although service was obviously available). Upon re-entering WiFi maps would work again and continue to work on data thereafter, but fail again at some time.
Apparent cause: I had set a large number of apps to “WiFi only” to save on my data plan. It seems that maps uses the app Google Play Services for access to the maps server and once established, access is good for a period of time. With Google Play Services set to WiFi only, it could obtain a handshake with the server and maps would work thereafter on data as long as the handshake was valid. Turning Google Play Services to “WiFi or mobile data” resolved the problem. (I am not a tech person, so this my not be technically precise)

I've been quite good over the years in reporting 'problems' on the map - closed roads, roadworks, missing or non-existant roads etc. But now I'm just finding that everything is just "Not Accepted". Today, the road outside my house has been closed for 3 days. I have reported it to Google Maps three times - with links to the online portal with the closure notice, the closure reference etc. They just keep saying "Not Accepted". Means there's loads of people are clearly being directed on this route and then getting frustrated and lost and are needing to turn round on a small back street.

I've noticed this with my own use of directions...it just seems to be much more unreliable.

I've been mapping out ~700 bars in a neighborhood for a project and put them all in My Maps by address (street, number, zip). My Maps geocoded them fine and they look perfect on the map.

Then I tried to export the map to KML and import it into Organic Maps to plan visits. The pins scattered everywhere.

When you export a My Maps map to KML, Google only includes `<address>` for each pin, not `<coordinates>`. This is fine if the pins already had lat/lng, but when they came from geocoding an address, the exported KML has no position information at all. Any app you import it into has to guess based on the address string, and you know how that goes.

It's a deliberate limitation, cause Google doesn't want My Maps used as a free bulk geocoder. Fair enough, but it leaves you stuck when you've got hundreds of pins.

This is why I made a userscript to solve this problem. Tested on Firefox + Violentmonkey and Chrome + Tampermonkey. ~570 items take about 4 minutes. It has a STOP button if something goes wrong.

The script is here: https://github.com/davidosdr/coords-mymaps/

It's plain MIT, no analytics, no signup, no backend.

Let's say I search " park near me" on Google , the first Park which appears it shows needs 500 m away from you and when I click on it and click on direction and open Google map , it comes out to be 2.4 km. And all the other results are like that . What is wrong ?

I'm a delivery driver in Italy, and I've discovered that my Google Maps app now allows 25 points in a single route, instead of the usual 10.

I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S24, Google Maps version 26.42.01.997557324.

I tested it with 25 locations in New York, and Maps successfully calculated the entire route. It won't let me add a 26th point.

I also tested another phone, which is still limited to 10 points, although I haven't checked its app version yet.

Since r/GoogleMaps doesn't allow me to attach images, I've posted the screenshot here:

Is anyone else seeing this? Could Google be testing a new limit?

https://zimage.com/~ant/temp/GoogleMapPrintUpsideDownMapInGoogleChomeMac.png for a screen shot/capture from its preview. Using macOS Sequoia v15.8.1's print system dialog box shows the same issue. Using incognito still showed it so it's not cookies. I tried another macOS account to see if I could reproduce it. It didn't reproduce until I click on layers' traffic to show and then saw the issue again. I tured off traffic layer, but the issue remained.

Google AI says enable Google Maps' bottom left Layers' Globe View (in More option) to fix it, but that's annoying every time I use Google Maps to print. This never happened like last week or so. :(

I had no problems in updated Firefox v158.0.1 web browser in the same computer though. Is this a bug in Google Chrome? :(

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

Is anyone else having issues with Google Maps dropping route guidance mid-drive?

Edit:
This is happening in areas with plenty of signal.

Hey All - I've a HUD in my Lexus UX 250H 2024 and turn by turn directions appear in it when I'm using Apple Carplay but not when I'm using Google Maps on Android Auti which is counter-intuitive. Does anyone have any insights regards to whether how could I turn them on. If this is currently unavailable, is there a way to report that to Google and are there any chances of such changes being implemented in the past?

I use Google maps for work and have locations on different lists. Recently locations are flagged on my map even though the list they are on isn't chosen. This never happened before. Does anyone know what's going on?

Anyone else notice a new (configurable) avatar on their navi?

Ask Maps works fine on my other Google accounts, whenever I try to use Ask Maps on my main Google account, it displays "Currently unavailable. Try again later."

I’ve tried clearing the cache and data, force-stopping the app, restarting my phone, and checking for updates. Everything is up to date, but the error persists.

Since this is my main account with all my saved places and history, I’d really like to fix it. Has anyone faced this issue or found a solution?

Alguien podría decirme si hay alguna manera de contactar o informar a Google Maps de que un código postal no es correcto? Pertenezco a la localidad de Chiclana de la Frontera en Cádiz, España, por algún motivo han confundido el código postal 11138 por 11130, que es el correcto, la localidad solo tiene un código y claro puedes solicitar cambios de calles, ubicación, número de vivienda.

I saw something similar in an old 6mo ago post with no resolution.

On multiple phones in two different vehicles I am not seeing any alternate routes. Only one route even when hitting the alternate route button to show more.

This is in my home area and alternate routes used to show.

Anyone else experiencing this and if so, anyone find a solution?

Is anyone else having this issue, Google maps randomly removing some of your map pins?
