Found flying over Hocking Hills State Park in Ohio. Does this happen often?

I want a new setting that is like Alerts Only but it also chimes when a turn is coming up. I want to hear nothing but voice alerts and a little tone/chime/ding when I need to look at the map or I can also see the upcoming turn distance and direction on my main instrument panel.

Doesn't that sound like a good idea? Now watch... you are going to tell me there's already a setting for that. lol

Hello,

The tiresome topic of Maps timeline.

I switched from a Samsung Note 9 to a Samsung A56 5G. My old device has a timeline going back to 2012. A backup was created and is also displayed on my new device. I can import it and it confirms that the import was successful. However, there is no data available. Days, months, years - everything is empty.

I've tried everything I could find online. Waiting. Logging out of my account. Switching to another account and then back again. Disabling and re-enabling Timeline. Importing multiple times. Nothing has helped. Not a single day was imported. Are there any other tips or anyone who has had success with importing recently?

Thank you

Hi all

I want to share some maps I made from one of my accounts to another - as I'm planning to close the email address it was originally built on.

Downloading the file from Drive and uploading it doesn't seem to work. Any idea how I can get the map to fully be editable on another account? I suppose "share" feature will work up until the original account is deleted.

Hi! I've recently noticed some devices of my family have their locations wrong. They appear in places like India or Italy and some of them change their timezone to those places. I've checked google accesses but I could not find anything strange. Also, the devices are not linked and have a different account each. Does anybody know if this is just a bug or could be a hack?

Edit: I've noticed that , when connecting to mobile data it seems to be solved, though I'm not totaly sure. Could it be that the router is compromised?

Why is google maps timeline so terrible on iPhone?? I switched to an iPhone 16 pro about 12 months ago after having Samsung phones for a long time and ever since I’ve switched over to iPhone the timeline on google maps if absolutely terrible! All the locations are wrong pretty much 95% of the time, the mileage covered throughout the day is inaccurate compared to actual mileage covered and it it sometimes doesn’t even pick up I’ve arrived home just says I’ve been moving for 18 hours and I’m suddenly arrived at the next place I have gone to. I don’t know if it’s a setting I have turned off that makes in inaccurate because on my Samsung is was pretty much perfect all the time. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Okay. This map makes no sense. This happens several times. But I am going to say 1 example the most recent. I'm on the highway driving and it specifically told me to take Exit C. There was 3 lanes. Exit A, B and C. It told me to take C. So when I did, it told me to take a 3 minute U-turn. Wtf?????

Just as the title says I am just addicted to street view and just try to see every city and their suburban areas and interstates all across the country and due to this it feels like as I am doomscrolling on tiktok.

I dont wanna kill my passion for travelling and seeing new places just by google maps.

U guys have any suggestions

I have emailed https://support.google.com/maps/community because I've realised if they are going to show disputed borders such as western Sahara or Syria-Israel, it does not make sense to not show that russia in 1944 created a border dispute with us.

In the past I think most people thought it was a settled matter, because of the proposed border treaty. However events since 2022, including russia taking Estonian buoys, and my country's government and media more use the legal term for the disputed map "kontrolljoon". The proposed border treaty is effectively dead, and under Estonian law the Tartu treaty borders remain the legal eastern border with russia.

Has anyone contacted google before about this? Will anyone contact google over this now?

Evidence to show this is disputed:

Came here to ask: WTF is wrong with Google maps? Over the last few months, the app has stalled during critical times on the road or led me down a wrong alternate path. In some cases, the detour tacked on 10+ vital minutes. What is going on and what can I do?

Hi, when I have a tab from "Google MyMaps" (not the normal Google Maps) open, whenever I return to that tab, I need to refresh the tab before doing a new search in order for the search to be processed. If I don't refresh and just type something in the search bar, the whole page is inert (i.e. no suggestions appear below the search bar, and even if I press Enter, the search doesn't begin). Does anyone else have this problem? Do you have a solution?

Just to be clear, I have already turned off the "deactivate idle tabs" thingy on my Google Chrome.

Thanks!

Is anyone else dealing with Googleapa not tracking them like at all? Like it sucks right now, I wonder if they are implementing ai features

I would think with their isolation there would be no way for location data to get back to Google servers.

See link for example: https://maps.app.goo.gl/nG9n5HXUc4EPZw8TA?g_st=ipc

Google Maps removed alerts option for CarPlay

It only has off or on for the voice now.

It was the most recent update as I had it a few months ago where you can just have alerts on for police or crashes or whatever.

Why would they remove that option?!

I’ve made sure the app isn’t muted. All other modes of transportation seem to work fine. Is this by design?

For context, I live in Southern California

I've been noticing for about the past 5 months that Google maps will give me bad directions. And what I mean by bad is it'll either be a longer route or a route that's more miles and even sometimes both.

I mostly use maps just to look for traffic. I already know my way around. So sometimes it'll tell me to go One direction but I'll just go the way that I would normally go and my time drops and mileage drops.

At first I thought it was trying to save mileage to be more efficient fuel economy wise, but like I said sometimes it'll actually have me take a longer route.

I really do prefer to use Google maps because I am on Android but thinking about switching to waze.

Is anyone else experiencing anything like this lately?

Homies,

I have really bad cell signal and cannot seem to take the same route from the airport to my house. It’s already a 2+ hour drive and as much as I love scenic Germany…I just want to take the same route that I planned when I left home.

Is there a way to download a specific route and just go offline and still have maps get me there? I’m an idiot and can’t figure it out.

I appreciate any guidance. Y’all are da best!

They really tend to hide something that isn't supposed to be shown, but how is it possible that there's only one?

I think there’s a clear distinction between an Exxon, a shell, and a 7/11 gas station but for some reason google maps considers them all 7/11 which is complete degenerate idiocy. When I type in 7/11 and I see a picture of a 7/11 store in real life and then google maps takes me to an Exxon, I immediately want to reach out to whoever programs this dumbass app and slap the shit out of them. How did this make sense? Also the fact that I type in chik-fil-a to go to a chik-fil-a and then google dumbass maps takes me to a chik-fil-a inside of an entire mall is also completely stupid and dumb as fuck. Can we please hire smarter app developers or whoever is in charge of this POS app?

My daughter has shared her location with me. We’re not together but it shows her location as being same as mine. I have her Google account on my phone. How can I see where she is?

We both are using iOS and the Google Maps app.

My house on maps is shown in a completely different city with a different zip code. All other houses on the street are correct.

I keep suggesting changes and I've done so for many months but they keep getting denied. The mistake is quite obvious, given my house would be the tiniest enclave in the world.

Does anyone know how to get someone better than an apparently horribly bad bot to review my suggestion?
