Google Maps does no longer show topographic map

Hi,

I’m running /e/OS 2.9 on my Fairphone 4. Since a couple of days, the default topographic background map within Google Maps does no longer work - it just gives me a very light-grey background, as if there would be no map available. When switching to the aerial/satellite background map, everything works smoothly.

I already disabled Advanced Privacy and cleared data and cache, but without luck.

Is anybody else experiencing the same problem?

Thx!

Hi @mu88,

I experienced the same problem with Google Maps on a Pixel 8 running /e/OS 2.9 and 3.0.
Have not found a solution yet.

@Manoj: I’m pretty sure you have some testing devices, right? Can you reproduce this issue, too? Thx for your feedback and precious time :pray:t2:

If you are discussing about the default mode of Google Maps, it is working for me on a OnePlus 8 pro with v3.0 with Advanced Privacy enabled as well as disabled.

Did you try clearing the cache of the app?

:rofl:
Just opened the app again and voilá, the background is working again without changing something!
What’s going on here?!
:exploding_head:

Lol, here the same! :face_in_clouds::exploding_head::face_with_spiral_eyes: Didn’t change anything, but now it’s working again

@MaMaTT88: as stated in my very initial post, clearing the app’s storage (data and cache) didn’t do any good

Still not working on my S10e (v2.9-t).
This is very annoying.

Note that I’ve tried to clear cache, restart my phone. Didn’t help.

…whereas it’s still working for me, so super strange :thinking::expressionless:

Reinstalling the app fixed the problem. :person_shrugging:

…and for me it’s broken again since this morning after working properly for almost a week :unamused::expressionless:

Have you tried to reinstall?

Yes, but without luck. First I cleared the cache - no luck. Then I cleared the app storage - no luck. Now I reinstalled the app two times, still no luck.

Have you tried to throw away your phone? :sweat_smile:
Seriously, that’s crazy!
