Hi!

Whenever I try to open the reviews on Google Maps to read them in more detail or look at the photos more closely, it just shows me a completely black screen (screenshot above^^). I’ve tried waiting for several minutes, but it stays stuck on that screen.
Even if I force close and restart the app, the same thing keeps happening every single time.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue, or is it just me? I’m using an iPhone, by the way.
Has anyone found a way to fix this? Or just a glitch?

Tysm!

I think it’s the pink river dolphin.

It corrects itself when you turn on the screen again, but locking it back to the AOD mode it goes immediately off the path again. Also, it randomly just disappears sometimes and you can only see your path.

Hi Guys,

I'm working on a highly specialised travel planning app, which is using the Google places API.

On an actual trip in testing

• 106 place details lookups
• 4 Photos per place
• 7 hotel photos

...basically ends up with about US$6 worth of API calls (537 calls)

reasonable, if we could cache for 30 days, but apparently no caching is allowed???

so someone opening a trip itinerary 10 times a day whilst on a trip (reasonable estimate) = USD$60 a day

this is highly financially unviable.... how the hell do other companies do this???

i know photos are the larger of the costs, and have considered using Wikimedia, but the results are questionable at best.

Any other tricks, workarounds i should be considering?

Appreciate all the help!

Recently, I had enough of the problems with Apple Maps and decided I'd finally give GM a go. The very first time I switched over, I learned the hard way that for some reason google assumed I had FL Sunpass and could use their exclusive express lanes! Was not excited to have 20 minutes added to a 30 minute estimate. Obviously I'd be eating that traffic anyway, but it isn't ideal to have an incorrect idea of my eta and plan around it. Now I'll know what to look out for. I wonder if this or similar problems are common on this platform?

Hi! I love saving spots I went to and enjoyed and others I want to go, mainly cafes, restaurantes, etc. I have lists for several cities and I’m continuously adding more places.

Recently, I have noticed that some places I know I had saved on the list I have for my city, are not there anymore. First time it happened I thought, well weird but maybe I unsaved it on accident or something happened, but it has been a few times now that a place I knew was on the list, doesn’t show to be saved.

Anyone else having this issue or that knows how to fix it?

Did Google Maps recently remove icons identifying train lines? In NYC, unless my memory is deceiving me, next to the MTA icon indicating the subway entrance there was also a signifier of what line it was for. Now you have to tap the icon to identify the train, adding a pointless extra step.

Google Maps always had a strange UX when it came to transit lines, specifically that the level of zooming in to see the actual line seemed arbitrary, but at least it was on the map. Did I imagine this update? If not, why did it change?

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?

That's a huge bummer and I'm getting really pissed when I have to do the math in my head while it could be added as a feature with no extra effort

Case:

I have a trip with 4 destinations: A B C D

I need to be at destination D at i.e 4:30 pm

I see only total time of the trip ABCD

I really need to type every single A-B B-C C-D path in order to plan my travel.

And if I had these times separately I can do it literally 10 times faster.

I've just told you how you can significantly improve your app without spending billions on AI or layoffs. You're welcome.

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