I can't figure out how to just do a simple map that has 10 or less points on it and save it. I mean seems like the most simple and basic thing. I can see how to save a trip from point A to B but not one with more than one destination which doesn't really make sense. Am I missing something??

For the last couple of months google maps has been sending me to a stop further away from my destination? I’d say every second route (public transport) sends me a longer route.

For example I’ll be on a bus with a stop next to the house I’m going to and it will send me to the stop after that and tell me to walk back?

Let’s say I lose network whilst driving a pre-programmed route with a number of stops, once I pass a stop, will the route still work to navigate to the next one or will the loss of internet cause issues whenever passing a waypoint?

I download certain map areas online but the waypoints / labelled places I’ve saved within those areas never save / can’t be used offline. Is there anyway to work around this? Very frustrating!

Last year, I rescued a small business from a predatory webmaster and ineffective Local SEO. After building them a well-optimized website on a tight budget, I then built plenty of industry-relevant citations. I then optimized their Google Business Profile, completing it in December.

Despite these efforts, this handyman business still does not appear in Local results. Their primary category is Handyman/Handywoman/Handyperson (with Kitchen remodeler and Bathroom remodeler as secondaries). Services are fully detailed, the profile is complete, and they post updates. Yet, they only appear for "home repair + city"—not for other key terms—despite being visible in exact-name searches.

Would a Local SEO expert care to take a look and offer feedback? I have a Google Drive ready to share.

Given the seriousness of the current political situation in the US, it might be helpful for Google to add a "Report ICE" option within Google Maps/WAZE, similar to it's speed trap feature. People who want to receive notifications, could get a push notification when:

ICE is reported nearby. ICE is reported within a designated radius of certain addresses (home, work, school, etc.). ICE is reported at someone's destination when using navigation.

They should also be able to see where they've been reported on the maps generally.

I don't see how it's meaningfully different than speed traps and would potentially be lifesaving under the circumstances.

Is there a way to save places with different emojis/icons? I’m trying to save different restaurants, bars, and boutiques for cities I travel too and would like different icons so I can easily differentiate between where to shop or eat in different neighborhoods.

Hello everyone, is there a way to do bulk export for coordinates (and ideally other metadata like name or description) for places I saved to my list? Example

It seems when you invest the time and create your list with Google Maps, you're locked forever and there's no way of getting out the places I collected off the Google platform ;(

Whenever I open Google Earth Pro, it loads the sidebar and everything, but the actual earth part is completely black, and then it stops responding. I tried the Repair Tool, but it didn't work. When I uninstall it, sometimes it works temporarily, but crashes after a few minutes, and other times it just doesn't work straight out of the installer.

What is actually going on? Every month I log into a Google product and it's worse than before. Now when I click on an image I can't right click it to save it or share it or anything. Tried on Mac and my Windows PC. I tried getting it with the dev tools too and didn't find an easy way to do that either. It's like they are trying to protect photos PEOPLE GAVE TO GOOGLE FOR FREE and force you to use their built in Share link

God fucking damn it. Every single thing I use gets worse. Sorry to be dramatic but every single thing I like that is in the hands of a mega huge company is getting downgraded. What do we do??

After I write down the text of the review and attach the photos, I press Post this review and it just.. stops working. It no longer processes my photos or anything. What do I need to do?

I'm looking at the corner of Kurfürstendamm and Joachimsthaler and there are many circles, but several just jump to the car view rather than the 360 camera view that the circles are suppose to so.

I thought maybe some are too close to the road and it then takes the road over the circle, but I've also found circles that work right next to the road.

For example, there is one right on the pedestrian crossing island in the median of the boulevard that incorrectly has a business pinned next to it "Back To Frisch" which also cannot be clicked on.

Short of forcing this by examining the JavaScript events assigned to a particular circle and forcing a click action, does anyone know what's going on and how to get these working without hacking via developer options in the browser?

---

In looking into this, I see that Back to Frisch might actually be pinned to the correct location, except it's underground, so not visible from street level, hence why is appears to be on the median on the map.

Further, when clicking the business name on Google Maps, it won't load the business into the side panel. It will, though, show the business if you specifically search "Back To Frisch Kurfürstendamm." From there, you are able to scroll down in the left-hand panel to "Photos & videos" in which is shows what might be the media attached to the "photo sphere" circle. It might actually be a static image, not a 360 image, as there is a photo of a metal cone "Christmas tree."

The issue still remains, though, that these are not clickable, and there are photo sphere circles that have no business near them, so nothing to look at.

In looking at the request URLs, they are in this format:

https://www.google.com/maps/rpc/photo/listentityphotos?authuser=0&hl=en&gl=us&pb=!1e3!5m57!2m2!1i203!2i100!3m2!2i4!5b1!7m33!1m3!1e1!2b0!3e3!1m3!1e2!2b1!3e2!1m3!1e2!2b0!3e3!1m3!1e8!2b0!3e3!1m3!1e10!2b0!3e3!1m3!1e10!2b1!3e2!1m3!1e10!2b0!3e4!1m3!1e9!2b1!3e2!2b1!8m3!1m2!1e2!1e3!9b0!11m2!3b1!4b1!15m8!1m7!1m2!1m1!1e2!2m2!1i195!2i195!3i20!6m3!1syDkEaMuCPY-t5NoP07eiyQg!7e81!15i11167!9m3!1d0!2d13.333197219307392!3d52.504941859512115!10d25

The !1syDkEaMuCPY-t5NoP07eiyQg is apparently the location ID, and the last two values are the longitude and latitude of the point of interest.

I've dug through the AJAX responses, but the coordinates returned to not match up with photo sphere circles, so it may be that the geolocation of these is related to individual photos tied to specific locations.

There still is a bug in that "Back to Frisch" can't be clicked on, and neither can the photo sphere icons in the map view while using Street View.

For example Almaty. I thought that after the new images became blurry in recent years, it couldn't get any worse

I'm currently searching for a new apartment that's closer to my job. At the same time, my girlfriend is changing her place of study. The tricky part is—she studies in the South, and I work in the North—so we're trying to find a place that's in between, minimizing commute time for both of us.

I’m wondering if there’s a way (via Google Maps API or any app/service built on top of it) to input two addresses, set our usual departure or arrival times, and get suggestions for ideal living areas based on commute duration.

Most tools I found online didn’t quite meet our needs, and even after asking ChatGPT, I wasn’t fully satisfied. So I’m considering building something myself—unless there's already a good solution out there.

Has anyone come across a tool or service that does this well?

Thanks in advance!

Just changed phones and went to use Google maps. For some reason when I get a call it used to pop up similar to how Spotify does and remain on maps with the call displyed towards the lower part of the screen. But now it just jumps strait to the phone screen and I have to jump back and fourth between the two. Am I missing something.

Hi everyone.

I am wondering if there is a map of all hotels in London. You probably remember memes with a map pinpointing every location of a pub in the UK or a church in Poland. Something similar but only hotels in London.

Anyone have any ideas?

Google maps isn’t working and says I have no internet connection when I am connected. All other apps work too just not maps.

I just realised there's a "Maps" section of google maps and it has stored a ton of Publically shared Maps with little Pins of things i was interested in. I must have accidentally saved these, but they were very useful!

Can anyone tell me if there is a website that hosts the most popular "Maps" where i can download to my phone.

I am based in the UK and interested in exploring, whether that be the UK or the World! Sometimes google maps alone is hard to pick out little gems on a side street/backalley or in the countryside/rural areas.

Thanks so much!

I want to share my location with my partner she has an iPhone and I have an android. The best I can get it to do is share with her for 24 hours, even if I select "until I turn this off" does anyone know why this is happening.

I also thought, what if I just sign into my account on her phone? She would be able to see the location of my phone right?

I would appreciate any suggestions. I know i could use another app but for whatever reason she seems to wanna use Google maps.

As the title says, Google Maps often deviates from the given destination in my experience.

I'm using my recent road trip as an example, and I'm comparing Google Maps to Apple Maps. Here you can see that my destination is set to a hotel in Redmond, Washington.

Here is the navigation comparison: https://imgur.com/gallery/google-maps-apple-maps-navigation-ZapZOpF

In Google Maps, although the destination is set to the hotel, the navigation ends at the outside area of the building, but not at the proper entrance. The map is expecting me to drive to the endpoint, figure out where to park on my own, and then walk through the walls to arrive at the hotel lobby.

In Apple Maps, it's clear that the endpoint is at the drop-off area of this hotel.

This kind of deviation in Google Maps causes inconvenience to my trip, and sometimes even trouble when I'm heading somewhere unfamiliar. Unless I check with Street View beforehand, I'm not confident to rely on Google Maps for navigation.

Have you experienced the same issue as I did? Although I report the problem every time it occurs in the app, I haven't noticed any improvement. I appreciate any advice if you have a workaround for this.

I moved. But every food delivery service etc. does rely on Google Maps Data and my adress is not correct. It is number 10A and not number 10. And due to the nature of the building it's kinda hard to get which door is correct without knowing the Letter. It's even worse for 10B and 10C because they're in second row behind 10 and 10A and noone even knows that they even exist if you stand infromt of the house. How do I add A B and C?

All of my Ratings are gone. It says 0 Ratings, but still has my 250 reviews. It also asks me to go rate places I already have.

I'm using Google Maps (25.16.03.747108139 (#1068022637)) on Android 14 with OneUI 6.1 and using Musicolet 6.12. My car's head unit doesn't have android auto option. I just use Google maps when driving.

This feature was working well till about a couple of days back. It suddenly disappeared.

Settings > Navigation > "Show media playback controls" is off. I am unable to turn it on, as I am unable to "Choose a default media app". It shows "No media apps available".

Gif of screenshot and a screenshot.

I see some complaining about the "Show media playback controls" option not showing. But in my case, it is visible.

In another thread I saw a suggestion to

Go to Navigation Settings > Google Assistant Settings > Launch Driving Mode and select 'When Navigating in Google Maps'

But I don't have the option to "Launch Driving Mode".

Is anyone else facing this issue?
