I just noticed all my Timeline data from before a week or two ago is gone. I have no idea how this happened since I never touched it. The only thing I can think of is when I deleted Google Play Services data a few weeks ago. Would Maps data be stored there? Is there any way to recover it?

I made a list of places I want to visit on my next trip, that I made some months ago. Now I cant change the order of the places? I can add more places, but when I try to edit the order and then save, it goes back to how it was. Im using android app. Anyone else having the same problem?

Hiya, wondering if anyone knew anything about this. For a while, when I'm at home, Maps/Timeline keeps reading my location as the bus stop opposite my house. In the past, I used to be able to edit my location to my home, occasionally I would get errors so would edit it on my laptop instead but can no longer do this with the new timeline style.

Recently, I either get "something went wrong" or pressing done does nothing at all.

I tried to reset my home location, but this actually made it worse, multiple home visits now read as a generic "Place visit" and trying to set these visits to my home results in no changes saving.

Location is turned on, app and phone are up to date, timeline permissions are fully enabled, tried restarting my phone, clearing the app cache and disabling and enabling the app. Samsung S22, if it makes any difference.

Thanks everyone! 🫶🏻

When i try to search for a hotel.l The Filter are gone after setting the first one. With a refresh they ar Back but reset. In the morning today IT worked. I am using Chrome at a Microsoft Computer.

A few weeks ago these bus icons appeared on my maps app and I can't seem to figure out why, or how to remove them.

I made sure they are not coming from any of my lists.

Thanks for any ideas!

why google maps is this broken and unsafe?

With them moving the timeline to device only, and no longer supporting snap to road on device, my timeline for trips is 100% useless. It shows large sections where it is just drawing a straight line from A to B regardless of the route travelled.

Might as just turn off the location services and timeline altogether I guess.

Has anyone been able to find a fix for this?

TIA

Edit: I am on a Pixel 9 Pro, and yes everything is updated.

Hello everyone,

Whenever I get a new phone, I make sure Google Maps has turned on timeline and backup and has loaded my previous history.

On the new device (samsung Fold 7), I tap timeline, then cloud. Backup is enabled. The device itself (new one) is saved. I can even see the old device backup.

Fortunately I still have my old device that I carry with me the whole time. (Till i finish transitioning to the new device).

But my timeline remains empty. I cleared cache and data. Imported timeline. I get the message that all data has been successfully imported bit my timeline remains empty. I've tried restarting the device. Turning on and off timeline. Nothing is bringing back my old data. In spite of it continuing to record movement via my old device - which is good. At least it's continuing to record.

When I go to Location (in phone settings), then Location Services, then Timeline, then I select my account. I can see that something has been imported because it says "40339 visits and routes saved on this device since 2017".

How do i import it over to see in timeline? Tapping import 500 times did nothing :)

Thanks.

Google Maps is a piece of shit and has been trying to get me to download their stupid app years, even redirecting me to the App Store when I hit the directions button.

Now, to even see the directions, you have to download their horseshit. Even just clicking on the search bar will take you to the App Store.

Fuck you Google, if anyone has a work around let me know!

For reference I’m currently in Singapore and every time I try to map out a destination starting from my closest MRT station, Maps will plot out a route on one line to a station and then suggest I get out and walk to the destination even though I know there are possible transfers to take a different train line to a closer station.

To use specifics for anyone familiar with Singapore I’m close to the Farrer Park station; last night coming from Bayside, Maps suggested getting out at Little India and walking the 15-20 minutes or so to my hotel, even though I could just get on a different line and and Farrer Park would just be one more stop. I’m glad I thought to look at the train map. Mildly annoying since I shelved some plans yesterday because I thought it would too much of a hassle to get to the destination.

Not sure if it’s something in my settings or what.

My car display is Google Maps/GPS. I keep getting a home address on my display that somehow got saved in my maps. First, I have never looked up that address anywhere —phone, home PC, car, etc. My account isn't shared with anyone in my home. The house is probably worth 5 million or so. I am not that wealthy. I haven't looked up that home yet because I don't want to confirm it. This is so odd, and it is across town. The population is 400,000.

Back in January, I submitted a name correction for this cemetery in my town, from the ridiculous name of "The other Alpharetta cemetery" to the legitimate name of "Resthaven Cemetery." The name can even be seen on Street View.

It'd slipped my mind I submitted the change until I noticed the name hadn't changed on the map. When looking at my list of submissions, I saw that it'd been rejected.

Why does Google reject obviously legitimate map corrections?

All I did was signout of my google account and restarted phone. I had auto-delete off and cloud backup on. How do I lose all my data?

Is it that easy? Google doesn't verify?

Someone decided to add my family’s farm as a public park and garden on Google maps for some reason. Do anyone have any suggestions on how to get Google to take it off the map, not just change it to “permanently closed”?

Hi all, last year the voice guidance would say the exit details. Now I get generic drivel that is not helpful.

Any idea what happened and how to fix it?

The online advice is not helpful (phone settings not present).

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to make a reservation through Google Maps, but the “Reserve a table” button is missing for me.

Here’s the strange part: if I switch to a different Google account on the same device, the button appears normally (obviously trying with the same restaurant)

Has anyone else run into this issue?

Any tips, fixes, or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!

I have published almost 50 reviews on google maps till now. But for the last 2 places I have added, the photos have a ⚠️ sign next to them and the review itself is pending.

The only change is that I polished and adjusted my pictures with a really simple ios effect. Could it be the reason?

The error just says “we just know that there is an error, that’s all we know”.

I have this error, always get black stripes on image while I try to get into street view/360 mode, does anyone knows if it's a app problem or something related to hardware issues

I have a Galaxy S23 Ultra

I like GM but have two issues on the iPhone, perhaps there’s a solution?

1) This is the worst one - when I start from an off-road location, e.g. a gas station or a parking lot, GM gets confused with which way my car faces. Apple Maps needs just a few yards of travel to figure out the car orientation, but GM seems to need a lot more. So I would drive up to the exit of the gas station / hotel lot and need to fake a turn and I don’t know which way to go because the car icon is spinning or the orientation is clearly wrong but I’m in an unfamiliar area and have no idea what is what. Sometimes, it even starts to spin or change orientation when I stop at a light, without car changing direction or moving. This is very annoying and at times caused me to take a wrong turn.

2) How do I see the list of stops in CarPlay without having to pick up the phone?

TIA

One day, the full screen, which was comfortable but disappeared, returned. Google Maps developer noticed that the entire screen had disappeared and re-examined it.

If I turn on the Transit Layer, a large box sits in the middle of the screen with the words "Click on stations for more information".

How can I get this off of my screen, but without turning off the Transit Layer?

I'm using a Chromebook.

I would love to post a screenshot, but that is not possible in this subreddit, alas. Oh, I get it: I need to use a comment to post an image. OK...

This is happening with every Google app on my phone that I log in with my account. My account works fine on every other phone I tried it.

Hello Google Maps Community, I manage a business profile on Google Maps (Pashm Home – Handicraft Store, Srinagar) https://maps.app.goo.gl/5opQhxo3pXXBK1dN8?g_st=ipc Our store has 198 reviews with a 4.9-star rating, which is more than most of our competitors in the same category.

However, when people search for “handicraft store near me”, our business does not appear at the top of the results, even though other stores with fewer reviews and lower ratings do.

Could you please help me understand why this is happening, and what steps I can take to improve the visibility and ranking of my business?

Thank you for your guidance.
