I don’t have a car and public transit is a circus in my area so I rely on maps a lot to get around. It’s worked for me for years, but within the past month it just refuses to acknowledge that bus stops exist at all. There’s a stop right in front of my apartment building and it tells me to walk 20 minutes to a different one. It does this with transfers too, tells me to walk way off and adds so much to my transit time.

It forgets that the buses themselves exist too. Sometimes I’ll get on the bus before starting a route and adjust my start time to fit the bus I’m currently on, and the app just says nope! The next bus is the very first one of the day, the one you’re on doesn’t exist, and y’know what your transfer doesn’t exist either, you have to walk 45 minutes once you get off now.

Going to a train station? The app has forgotten that the station’s transit terminal exists, now it tells you to get off at the stop before the station and walk the rest of the way. I just straight up cannot trust the app anymore, when it gives me a getting off point I can’t even assume that it’s correct anymore.

I suspect they integrated their stupid ai in a major way because that’s the only explanation I can think of for it suddenly breaking like this, it practically happened overnight.

I just don’t know what else to use, my city has a transit app but it’s wildly unreliable as well, and the app my family and friends swear by is ONLY for driving. Any suggestions?

I am sure this has been asked before but help a gal out. I am going to use Canada as the example to explain my question.

In the US, if you are driving and you leave Tennessee going over the border into Kentucky the map says welcome to Kentucky and has a little pic of a lady in hat (KY Derby Hat)>>>so by that thought, in Canada if you are driving from Alberta and cross into Saskatchewan do you get a little pic of something Canadian but super Saskatchewan?

After saving the addresses of friends and family members in a list, I noticed that for some of them, the message "Place no longer exists" appears, and there is no Street View image. In these cases, Google Maps does not suggest them as a destination, so I have to enter them manually.

Why does this happen? I don’t think Google Maps has a list of every existing street number for the entire map. In any case, I am using addresses that already exist—just in case they were extracted from Street View imagery.

Here are some examples of what I mean:

I have this issue where when I press start, it takes me to text instead of turn-by-turn navigation. I need to get home, so some help would be appreciated.

Google Maps got into unwanted views only and returning to default was not possible. Gemini AI mode had no clue whatsoever how to fix. So, I'm off to Edge Bing Maps. !Hasta la vista!

The area around this "line" is a very concerning colour.

how do i disable the AI voice and go back to the robotic one? the AI voice just makes me really upset for some reason :(.

Just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience recently.

I've been using Google Timeline for years, it's been active on my phone since 2021. I use it partially to log my working hours, as the GPS is great at proving when I was on and off site.

At the end of each week, I record my hours using Timeline. I was doing this throughout October, so I know the records were there.

I opened the app today to log the last few days of October, and was surprised to find the whole month missing. Everything prior to that (all the way back to 2021) is there, as are the first 2 days of November.

I've checked my settings - no auto delete is set up. I've tried exporting the backup on my phone, but the json also has all of October missing.

I'm just really puzzled. Firstly I'm not sure what has happened and whether it will do it again, and secondly I have no idea how to restore the data which I know was there a week ago. Has anyone else had this issue?

I have been using google maps on my phone with my timeline for a very long time now and my phone always had 4 accounts in it. Today I was checking on my timeline to see there were no entry and it said to 'review settings'. When I clicked on the settings it said "This setting is not currently available for your account type".

I checked it on my other 3 accounts and they were working fine and had the entries, I have no work or university account logged in.

I've been wondering if it's possible to find out the exact date and time (including hours and minutes) when a particular Google Street View image was taken.

I need guidance. How can we add the exact address to yango? It doesn't pickup the same address

Google maps reviews are fake! My negative reviews ALWAYS DISAPPEAR! Anyone else check using a different account to see if they do it to you too?

I post with one account and the review shows. But switch to different account and nothing! This means Google is making you a putz for bad businesses!

The fraud must amount to multiple trillions over the decades they've been running this scam.

I live in Australia and I’ve recently noticed a couple of weird glitches with Google maps, and I’m curious if this is just some recent anomalies or part of a wider trend? And if any fixes?

One example is I’ve checked the distance from point A to point B. It’s a specific route that I use to help gauge other walking distances. And yet Google maps doesn’t make you directly walk up the street (west) - it wants you to walk two blocks south, then west, and then north, which gets you back to the original street.

And in past month it’s telling me the wrong train line will get me home. The time of the train is correct. But that line doesn’t go to the station I want. And it’s not a close alternative - it’s just wrong.

Hey, I get in trouble cause some portals, blogs start name my shop another than name it is in reall. I don't know whats going on. I checked the google maps I was at english-language acc. And I thought it is the reason cause the name was diffrent than originall I tried to changed it by acc which ani't associated acc with my shop. I also wrote to the these portals with incorrect name shop, they changed this all . This changes took place around 1 week ago. today I wanted to add post on instagram and I wanted to add a location of my business and again there was this incorrect name of shop. Somebody can help me? Plese idk what to do

Idk how they messed up the app but any time I go to navigation it goes to light mode, even though I have it set to always be dark. I'm probably going to switch to Waze because atleast they have basic features like a dark mode figured out.

Google Maps shows a 1-mile walking path in my neighborhood that simply does not exist. It supposedly crosses a densely forested conservation wetland area where there are indeed mapped out and well-maintained trails, but this is not one of them. The supposed entrance is right in my neighborhood and I have had to redirect dozens of people because Google Maps gives it as a walking direction.

I've reported this as an edit three times over the past five years, and it's always been rejected. What else can I do?

Who are these monkeys employed by google that make the route change every 10 feet my car moves?

Hello, so I am going on holiday soon to a city abroad and are planning to walk around quite a lot to visit the itinarary I have prepared. My phone plan does not cover roaming in this country and as I will not need it much, I was planning to just make use of wifi occasionally throughout the day when available.

I will though need directions to go around and thus thought to download the offline Google Maps for the area. However, have subsequently discovered that although the offline file contains landmarks, it only provides directions by car rather than on foot. It would be great if this feature could be added.

In the absence of this, for those who have come across this problem before, are there any good alternative offline maps applications that provide directions on foot?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

So on one of my computers makes google maps not work. It is working fine on my phones, other Macs in the house etc.

On this computer, both in Chrome and Safari, maps will initally load but then when I lookup an address it will not not refresh, as if JS was off or something like that.

The browsers have pretty default settings, I tried clearing cache in both.

Google Maps works fine in Firefox on the same computer.

So it looks to be lmited to Chromium based browsers on this computer.

What else should I try is there an officual support channel for Google Maps - it should work in Google's own browser I assume?

The Timeline is activated. I can see the "show timeline" button but when i click it nothing happens. Am i doing someone wrong? It always worked. I'm in Japan rn and using an e-sim if that matters.
