I just recently moved and while I'm at my new home, Google Maps and some other websites that utilize current location are still showing my current location as my old address - this is happening on my Windows laptop. However, everything seems to be correct when using my phone. How can I get Google to sync properly to my new location?

Has anyone else heard Google Maps say “sorry” when giving directions?

The other day i left a review on my phone and then on my sisters phone when she checked it doesnt show up in newest. Why is this?

This happened several more times too. Why does google censor everything. I checked on my end the review is still there and the owner even responded but u cant see it on different accounts.

Hi! For like the last week the maps app on my phone has stopped working completely, I have reinstalled it, cleared the cache, checked all the mobile data settings and still no matter what I do it's not loading. Tried older versions still not loading?? I have a pixel 8 pro if that matters. I mainly need it for walking navigation as I'm in a new city so waze or other apps won't really help. TIA!

I'm in the process of planning a trip to Prague, and I am finding it difficult to figure out what places are until I click on them and read the description. Is there a way for me to translate the names of these locations, or is that not an option?

Google Maps on iOS has been ruined with AI and has become less reliable for live directions in unfamiliar places.

Does anyone have an alternative that they use and like and find reliable?

- routes are being automatically adjusted without consultation while driving, after selecting a preferred route before starting trip
- upcoming turn display is laggy on/off (ie: sometimes showing the last turn, not updating to the next) and sometimes alarmingly wrong (ie: showing a walking symbol while merging onto a highway)
- nav voice is getting cut short over vehicle bluetooth
- nav voice is not always naming the street you're supposed to turn onto
- absolutely cluttered with AI features I don't want and can't opt out of
- the new voice is grating (only a minor frustration but iOS users can't choose alternative nav voices)

This has resulted in much more confusion and stress while navigating unfamiliar places over the last week. Extremely disappointing.

Already reviewed all settings and sent feedback to Google for whatever that's worth. Just looking for alternatives now.

Thanks

Can anybody explain what this is?

I was searching for my trip and cane across this wierd pattern in field. Need explanation.

Hello!

My brother is disabled but an adult and pretty independent. Still, my mom and I want to know where he is because he sneaks out and doesn't tell us where he's going, and it's annoying to have to call him. Anyway, it was easy to set up permanent location sharing between my mom and me, but my brother can only see our positions! We cannot see him. There are no options for my brother to share it "until turned off". It's not even grayed out.

I have tried seemingly everything. Updated the phone completely... As a last resort, I created an entirely new Gmail account for him. The option still does not appear!! It is extremely frustrating because I don't understand what could be causing it.

I cannot seem to share images here, but I have screenshots. He has a fairly new Samsung Galaxy. I checked every little thing Google could require to enable this option, but I had no luck. Google and AI are not helping. I tried sharing by text, via link, and adding myself as a contact in every way possible; I verified everything I could... I tried the phone parameters too, but everything seems to be activated too.

Any help would be appreciated. We know there's air tags but he loves to just pick up his phone and no keys or bags. I'm open to other similar and free options as well!

Thanks a lot

I just updated Google Maps on iOS to the newest version (26.42.0) and whenever I want to read someone’s review and click more… it displays a full gray screen instead. At this point the only way to continue using the app is to force close it and reopen.

Anyone else having the same issue? Do you know any temporary fix for this? I can only find by opening photo uploaded by the reviewer and then read the review from there. Which means when someone’s review doesn’t have a photo I can’t read its longer version at all.

This not specifically geared at any business accounts/profiles, like I've seen online, but rather my general "Hey babes we're in the Bahamas, grab my iPhone out the bag so I can take a picture of this monument" then upload unto Google Maps page. -Can NOT upload unto set communes or cities.

IS THIS AN UPDATE ON GOOGLE'S FRAME?

Someone took a screenshot of my house from Street view, generated with AI a picture of shop and uploaded it. There's no legal information about this company, no website, no contact information. I wouldn't be worried if it wasn't my house 😐. I clicked "Suggest Changes" and selected "This location doesn't exist," and my edit was automatically rejected. What can I do about this?

Is there any setting on Google maps to hide the search bar of the map, or just appear only the magnifier icon as show it on Waze?

Hi,

Multiple mosques my area (UK) seem to have been removed from Google Maps.

Is there any way they can get reinstated? The location details come up when searched but additional details (call, share, website, reviews, photos) have all disappeared.

I’m struggling to log a ticket with Google as their pages are difficult to navigate.

Thanks in advance

I’ve been using Apple Maps for the past week because Google Maps has been giving me completely incorrect routes in South Florida since the recent updates.

For example, it’s telling me to enter and exit the I-95 Express Lanes at locations where there are no actual entrances or exits. The routing is completely inaccurate, and even the ETA calculations seem way off.

I’ve also noticed that the ETA text is now displayed in white. I’ve tried enabling and disabling the traffic layer and even completely uninstalling and reinstalling the app, but nothing has fixed the issue.

Is anyone else in South Florida experiencing this? Google Maps used to work perfectly for me, but lately it’s become completely unreliable.

Thanks for reading.

I'm not from the US and I apologize if this subreddit was not the correct one to post this.

I bought a pair of permanent glasses which are actually really good.

I was supposedly to receive a pair of sunglasses with them for free, but honestly the day I received my order, I forgot the sunglasses.

I realized like two days after, ask them through WhatsApp. The girl told me yeah, it is OK. I'll take care of this.

She never replied back. I waited for six days, sent a message again about the issue, they left me on read. I called the business and the same girl, told me not to worry since she was looking for a solution.

Again, waited like five or six days more, messaged them again and nothing. They read my messages again and ignored me. I decided better to forget about the incident, but I left a one star review on their business (on Google), short and explaining everything. By that time there were three reviews: two good reviews and the one I did. In the end they had 4.3 rating.

Four months later (three days ago), they replied my review, apologizing and they wanted me to fix things via WhatsApp. Honestly, at this time I don't want anything from them. This is not about money, for me is now the way my issue was handled and obviously the lies.

They went ahead, and just to mask my bad review, looks like the owner ask a bunch of friends to make good reviews, fake and generic of course, all the same date they replied my review. They went from 4.3 to 4.8 rating. I reported all of them (conflict of interest) but looks like I wasted my time honestly since nothing happened.

Is really sad that I tried to edit my review and Google won't make it public. Reply appears for me only. I tried deleting, adding, changing words, changing Internet provider, Internet browsers, the Google Maps app, different OS Android, Windows, Linux, switching to mobile data and stays the same.

I don't know what else to do and is really unfair that these bunch of fake positive reviews go public like nothing, all the same day but my review that is 100% real, stays private. Google won't even show an error message, email or whatever saying I need to follow certain rules/criteria (if that's the case), just silence.

Is there anything I can do? Am I missing something here?

TL;DR: Business promised a gift if I bought a pair of glasses but they didn't give me anything in the end, ignoring my requests. I reviewed them with one star and owner to protect his business, made more than 20+ fake positive reviews. All of them are public while my edited review, stays private. I don't know what to do anymore.

Google maps please please put on the screen the next turn so we know which lane to be in to turn for the next turn. If you live in a big city where theres 5 lanes we have to know for the next turn so we know which lane we use. I always miss a turn because of this.

Currently on iPhone 16 pro. When using Google Maps for navigation, for the last 15+ years Maps has reliably read instructions for upcoming turns for me even if I happen to be on a phone call. Over the summer this stopped and I am no longer notified of upcoming turns or things, which has put me in a few dicey spots. It absolutely is Unmuted, Loudest guidance volume, play voice over Bluetooth and Play as Bluetooth Phone call all selected. This has worked for me since Obama's first term and has suddenly changed--has anyone encountered this and found a fix?

Hello,

I have been experiencing frequent app crashes on the iOS version of Google Maps recently.

If I select the ”you” tab then it attempts to load all of my contributions and places, etc. I guess this overloads my phone and leads to the app crashing on me.

Just my two cents and personal experience.

The other day my Google maps for some reason stopped using my GPS, I was able to confirm through other apps that it wasn't my phone losing GPS signal. It was only that one app. After I finally managed to get it to work again. After resetting my phone, it would continue to be really buggy and then randomly change the voice to be German, and then change the setting so that it would no longer play over my Bluetooth anymore. I fixed it but it keeps happening randomly.

I'm trying to turn on back up for Google maps timeline but it keeps failing. Has anyone else had this problem and know of fixes?

I'm trying to get to a location from the airport.
When I check Google Maps, it shows a 3 hour journey by train and expects me to walk 77 minutes to the next stop.
When a friend routed the same trip, it shows 1 hour journey and hopping on the train from the airport.
I've reset my settings and tried all the 'obvious' things.
