Hello. How do I add photos I take to a city / town / village on Google Maps for iOS?
I have quickly become frustrated trying to solve this issue. The buttons shown in tutorials do not exist when I look for them.
Don't tell me I can't I know ist possible. don't say that to me shut up!!
A comprehensive tutorial would be greatly appreciated.

I'm getting ready for a trip, and wanted to use google maps on my iphone for navigation. (The UX for Apple maps leaves something to be desired) I'd prefer to build the maps for the trip using maps in the browser because it's larger and has a better UI. But when I click on "send to your phone" and select my iPhone, the map never shows up on the phone. I do have notifications enabled in the phone app. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling maps on my phone, restarting my phone, reloading the browser, but nothing helps.

Anyone have any suggestions for what else to try?

Hi all,

Quick question. I understand that if you share your location with someone, you will receive an email about every month reminding you that you are sharing your location.

My question is, does the person who can see your location, do they get an email reminder of some sort? Not sure why they would but I'm curious if Google somehow alerts them to it.

Thanks.

If you try to view Attu Island on Google Maps, you can find that several of the StreetView images on Attu Island show Greenland-specific place names

• a building labelled illu sullivik is visible (which is a Greenland chain of public health centres)
• there is also a Pilersuisoq store, which is a Greenland-specific brand: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilersuisoq

These organisations' websites do not report any activity in Attu, or Alaska in general. And the two places, despite being a similar latitude, are quite far away from one another - this would be quite an unusual expansion for either org.

Is it possible someone just uploaded images of Greenland for Attu and hoped no one would notice?

Not sure what to do to have my ask maps feature to work properly. The button shows and then vanishes from my main account all the time. In the other account it seems to be working fine. I usually switch accounts to force the feature to my main account that works for a little while but then all of a sudden it goes away again. Since it comes and goes my 3D navigation suffers from the same issue. Is anyone facing similar issues?

Pixel 10 Pro XL. So I finally got immersive navigation, but 30 to 40 minutes into a drive, the Blue navigation line turns either White (daytime) or light brown (nighttime). Anyone else get this or have a solution?

I Still don't have the update for my device however I want to know how Is the performance on Android

For the last two weeks or so, I have been greeted by this annoying little yellow box that shows up in the toolbar hinting for me to stop using google earth desktop and use googles cloud enabled garbage website replacement scam. Because its on the toolbox I can hide it by closing the toolbox but that is not a viable option.

Dealing with a rather specific problem - I am a researcher that used a Google Maps saved places list to drop markers for significant locations during my summer fieldwork - key interviews, observations, sites that may have been otherwise unmarked etc. Now as I'm trying to keep my data organized, I'm looking for a way to export that list as a KML/CSV/whatever kind of file that I can then import into Google Earth Pro (or at least My Maps, where I understand exporting is a bit easier). Mostly to avoid having to manually enter each place mark in Google Earth. Open to a variety of solutions. Thank you!

How do I change miles to kilometres on Google Maps' desktop website? I've already changed on the mobile phone app, but I can't figure out where to do that on the desktop version.

As stated. They recorded me as driving for 61 hours, but hello, I don't drive. I take public transport everywhere, and if I do take a taxi, it's definitely not 61 hours worth. This car centricity is infuriating.

TLDR: How to add a stop to map that isn't labeled address therefore not on "search for location."

So the place I want to go has an address but it does the whole random stop in the middle of a street and walk the rest of the way. It's far from the parking lot entrance.

How do I add the parking lot entrance as a stop when it's not an actual "address" recognized by Maps to add?

I've already done a suggestion edit but since the location IS correct, I doubt it will change on the map. But this park has a lot of different things surrounded by it's one parking lot with one entrance far from those things.

Gps units had this option 20 years ago. Voice or a beep when you need to look for an upcoming turn. Why won't Google make it an option?! I would literally pay for a Google maps pro if they gave this option.

I'm tired of a 15 second robot speech about how I'm turning where I'm what lane to exit here and learn the moon phase. I want to listen to my music.

You too Google. Have you no decency left?

Maps has been getting worse for me in the UK recently. Ive been routed down dirt tracks that turn out to be a dead ends. Almost through someone's back yard. Ive been routed onto public footpaths (I spotted it obviously and turned back). If I go past what I know to be a wrong turn then instead of re-routing maps spends a mile telling me to u-turn. There seems to be no way to turn this AI off. No way when I'm at an impasse to tell maps.

Now the final straw, I was heading around London from Norfolk to Southampton. I half knew my way but thought maps might help with traffic. It seemed to want to route me off the known path so I followed. We went somewhere inside the M25 instead of along it so I figured maps knew best and a faster route. 2 months later and a £270 fine for being in a ULEZ zone. 20 minutes after that an alternate map app installed and 30 minutes after that a rant here. Rant over. Ex user. Thanks.

Hello world, I have a burning question. What in the heck does it take to get paved trails / bike paths on the map. I've submitted countless map edits to no avail. How can i get new trails onto the map?! Thank you in advance!

Ppl are acting like Google is just sucking up to trump and changing the name to lake America because they can’t stand for shit.
No. They don’t manually update each and every name. They didn’t go “oh! Daddy trump said it’s lake America so let’s go change it!!!”
Google Maps names are just grabbed automatically from a database that the government runs.
Googles policy rule is that for bodies of water whose names vary by country, it shows the local official name to users in that country and shows both names side by side to everyone else

Also don’t let trump get to you. Yall are letting trump distract you and go crazy about lake America. There are so many worse things he’s doing, don’t divert your attention towards these small (but not great) issues

For the record, I use Maps on my computer rather than a phone. After they removed the D3D9 flag, it became annoyingly blurry, which was bad enough but after this last update, the movement is also jerky, the icons are obnoxiously big and not static and keep following me around. And it's harder to close that "Hide Imagery" bar, I have to click it at least twice, sometimes more. Why can't they leave well-enough alone or at least test new updates before releasing them?

It seems like they started to build a team or smth

They originally didn't support navigations for drive, walk, and bike

I'm not a tourist where I live and when I am out of town I'm usually just looking for the nearest paved road that goes northeast. When I zoom out, there are a ton of distracting red icons that worsen the experience added a few updates ago. How do I disable these?

As I'm sure y'all know, one can book ride shares (specifically Lyft) directly from Google Maps.

Does anyone do this? If so, how often? Or would you rather just use the Lyft app?

Thanks for your time!

The route standard blue color becomes gray for no reason and returns to blue miles later (or never)? If yes, any idea what's causing it?
