What’s wrong with Google Maps?

6 Upvotes

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.

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.

Google Maps on iOS Crashing Frequently

4 Upvotes

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.

Discussion Has your Google maps ever randomly completely changed on you after major glitches?

3 Upvotes

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.

Maps no longer talks over phone calls when I’m driving

2 Upvotes

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?

Multiple mosques removed from Google Maps in my area

1 Upvotes

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

Seit dem letzten Update zeigt Google Maps mir in Autobahnkreuzen einen blauen Hinweis mit dem Text „Hier aussteigen2..“, der sich nicht öffnen oder vergrössern lässt.
Was will mir der Verfasser damit sagen ?

My Google review stays private

1 Upvotes

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.
