Unable to connect to Google Maps account via microG account

Hello there!

Since Google Maps version 24.49.06.703287473 I’m no longer able to log into my Google Maps account via the microG account (Fairphone 5).

A separate login via Google Maps is also not possible. When trying, I would need to add my account in the Google Maps app but it’s not possible to add it as “this account is already present on this device”. Does anyone else have this problem, too?

Best regards

Hi,

I have the very same issue on my Gigaset GS290 with /e/os 2.5.

Cheers, Z

Yes. You’ve correctly identified the issue. This is not specific to /e/os and likely not a MicroG issue either. Probably a change Google has made in their ongoing war against privacy and, therefore, MicroG. The current solution is to downgrade to an older version of Google Maps. Version 24.47.05.699977727 (version code 1067804539 for Aurora Store users) seems to work.

PS: I know this is not specific to /e/os as I’m running Lineage and I have the same problem.

Or use the build in maps or another not google maps app.

How to find out version codes except just trying?

Hi, Same problem for me. Themooleman solution worked for me, on my Fairphone 3+. The same problems happened already in the past with Google Maps. Thanks a lot, Themooleman.

I have no idea sorry.
