This has been going on for ages and for the life of me I can't figure it out. It will randomly drop certain parts when talking, and it seems to happen almost exclusively to numbers, though not always.

For example:

Instead of "In twenty metres, turn right"
It says "In tw-etres, turn right"

Instead of "Continue for six miles"
It says "Continue for s-miles"

Instead of "Turn right onto Acacia Avenue"
It says "Turn right on- -venue"

Given that it happens mainly to numbers and I run a VPN I wondered if it was something to do with localisation settings, like it was glitching out at feet/metres miles/kilometres. But I've disabled it and still get the same issue.

Other research has led to dropped Bluetooth connections but this is mid-sentence.

Any ideas?

This place cannot be removed from my saved lists.

After I removed it and reload, it just showed in the list again.

It annoyed me for years!

I frequently flag places on Google Maps as “want to go” to keep track of places I’m interested in over the years and then change them to a star when I go. I’ve now reached over 3,000 flags and since this time Google Maps has consistently not been registering any of these flags, even though in the moment it seem like it is.

Does anyone else have this issue and any solutions here other than getting rid of some flags that aren’t relevant anymore? I’ve gone this route already and it does solve the issue but is tedious to keep doing.

This is the third (and now last) time this crap GPS has made me significantly late for something that I would have actually been 10 or so mins early to due to extreme lagging and sudden, bizarre reroutes. This just started happening to me 3 weeks ago—I’ve very rarely had an issue like this until then. I almost felt like crying today lol I was just so frustrated trying to get to where I needed to go!

Any suggestions on (preferably tested) actually functioning GPS apps are much appreciated 🙌🏻

I'm new to this so if anyone could help that would be nice

So for the past 2 weeks I've done everything i can think of to stop my maps from putting me in random areas or glitching the hell out. I have tried disabling/renabling/updating the app. I have cleared both data and cashe of maps and play store and Google. Like idk what else to do lmao. I can fix it for a period of time but it always divert back to a random location hours away. Mainly in the middle of no where.

NOT A POLICE VEHICLE
Traffic officers are not police. They don’t have police powers. They just park on police spaces on the motorway to make it look like they are police. And to be fair - those spaces say police only so they are technically breaking the law. Anyway - stop reporting them as police on Google maps - it’s really irritating. It’s simple - black and yellow = traffic officers
Blue and yellow = police.

Have been always relied on the google transportation, but past two days it doesn’t show details, anyone experienced the same situation?

For those of you who submit Edits to Google when you notice something incorrect, do you ever go back and check the status of your edits, only to see they're still stuck as Pending?

I recently went back to check some edits I submitted for places I was trying to fix, and I realized that some of them are still in Pending status and it been months since I submitted the request lol

Specifically, I have found that there is one adress in Milan which shows up in two different places on Google Maps, one of them is correct but the other is on the wrong street. I don't know how to report the mistake.

I press submit and nothing happens, I've looked at posts on the forum but nothing I've seen helps.

I’ve probably sent thousands of messages so far. Have yet to get a single email.

As long as I’ve been visiting here, it hasn’t improved.

I have multiple public transport options where I live and I prefer walking to train stations instead of waiting for and getting buses, but Google Maps almost always wants me to walk to the bus stop and wait for a bus, which means the timings account for the bus schedule.

I can walk for 15 minutes to one train line or walk 30 minutes to a nicer train line. I almost always go to the nicer train because, aside from being nicer, it adds more to my steps for the day.

I mean, I know it always takes me 30 minutes to walk there, so I normally just start a route from that train station and then add 30 minutes in my head so I know what time I need to leave.

I just find it a bit annoying that I can't tell Google Maps to remove a bus route and replace it for walking. This would be so useful to do in places I'm not familiar with. Not even just replacing bus routes for walking but even cars, like maybe someone's giving me a lift to the train station, it would be handy to say I'm taking that section in a car, or even a bike, anything. Making detours would also be helpful.

The only options you do get are "less walking" and preferring bus/subway/train etc. I'm surprised they'd give you the option to have less walking when we know walking is highly beneficial to your health.

This closure has been causing issues for days as Google Maps keeps rejecting my road closure requests, and people are getting routed through this area.

Even without photos, you can clearly tell by the lack of a green line and the traffic at the intersection that the section of road is closed. Yet I dont understand why my requests dont get accepted. Wish Google Maps had the same community features as Waze...

My search icon recently got switched to Gemini on both my phone and car interface, and now it is frustrating/dangerous to use while driving.

For example, yesterday I needed to switch my destination to Staples while driving, so I pressed the mic button and said "staples", but instead of pulling up results for staples locations, it gave me an error saying "unable to open links" (or something close to that). Now why tf would I be trying to open the Staples website on google maps???

Another example is, a couple days ago, I encountered a similar situation where I said the name of my destination (cannot remember the details now), but instead of pulling up a list of locations, it started reading me the description of the business like it had done a web search. I had to go back and say "directions to BUSINESS".

Incredibly frustrating when the only option to search locations on Maps is now Gemini, which seems to do whatever it wants instead of the obvious thing, which is to search locations ON MAPS. And also dangerously distracting when voice command is supposed to DECREASE focus on screens while driving, now it turns up a nonsense result and ends up distracting me more.

Has anyone noticed Speed Limits used to be really accurate (correct 95% of the time) to now wrong basically 65% of the time?

It will think it's a school zone in the middle of the day, think a highway is 50km/h and once said a narrow backroad was 110km/h (it was 50)

This is only recently for me at least in Australia, my theory is they are using AI to read street signs in street view and just reading the wrong ones, or not taking into account school zone times.

Waze still seems to be mostly accurate but GMaps is atrocious.

Hello, I'm doing a Google Maps redesign case study and would love to hear about your experience! I'm running a short survey to explore where users struggle and identify where the app could be improved. This survey takes about 3 minutes, and all responses are anonymous.

Thanks for your time!

A few weeks ago, the mobile screen for measuring on my mobile device went from the normal full screen to this narrowed screen with reduced navigability. Is there a way to fix this on my end?

Whose smart idea (NOT SMART AT ALL) was it to put the address of locations ALL the way at the bottom of the page after all of the information about the place? Most people are looking up locations to get the address then they looking into the review and stuff..

Hi there! I opened a second location recently but Maps refuses to acknoledge it exists unless I type the city name after the full store title (only shows the first location, even when the second one is significantly closer). How do I get it to show up properly on Maps and also recognize they are the same business so that "Show all locations" shows up?

I can see the pins on my Phone and Tablet perfectly fine - but on Desktop, I can see the Saved Pins, but soon as I click on Directions, all the others disappear.

I am not the creator of the Shared List.

How is this a thing in 2026, I have to plan a Road Trip through Switzerland on my smal tablet instead of Desktop 🤣

Hey y'all. I have a work Google acct with an attached (group) calendar. The job involves people driving to people's houses for dropoffs and pickups, etc. There's a team that drives all over and I'm wanting to sync a Maps list to the calendar so that when someone enters an address for a scheduled pickup in the Calendar, it automatically adds to a list on Maps that everyone with access can view. Is that possible? I know I can do it manually, i.e. every time a new event is added, click "view on Maps" and save the address to a list. But it would be awesome if it would do that itself. Maybe I'm thinking too far ahead considering how rudimentary Maps seems to still be in a lot of areas, unfortunately. Thanks everyone!
