Hi
I have a second hand dell streak running 2.2 and maps 5.1.2.
When I hold on the map for a location, it permanently says 'loading location' so I'm not able to access street view etc.
When I search for a location, it works fine (i can access the sub menu with street view etc.)
Any ideas as to why this might be?
I've rebooted a number of times, and have rolled back to maps version 4.9 but the issue persists
Thanks
Jon

[Q] Looking for an app that will store GPS location in "My Places" with Google Maps
I've been looking for an app that I can quickly launch (widget is even better!), grab my current location using GPS and save it to an existing layer in my google maps account. If I can also a label to the point that would be ideal. After googling awhile I found "My Maps Editor" but it looks like it got the ax at some point.
As far as I know, you can view "My Places" from google maps in the mobile version using layers, but can't edit them. Even if you could edit it, it'd be a hassle to load up the layer each time when I just want to mark a spot on the map quickly.
I know you can star locations, but I've been using My Maps/Places for awhile so I'm a little locked in at this point. Any suggestions? Thanks!
never have seen such app
I have a problem. I want to open web page, which containts google map with pin points. (Address is http://www.4x4klubs.lv/2011/08/lpg/ )
I open it up, I see the google map, I can move in it, but I dont see any pin point.
In chrome its just blank map.
In built in browser if I click "show large map" under the maps, it opens up in google maps app. There, if I select "read" I can see all the addresses of pin points, but I still cant see them on map.

Hello,
I'm using the latest version of Google Maps on JB 4.2.2 [Nexus 4]
I noticed that I cannot edit the names of my locations in "My Places" in the phone app. So I used Google Bookmarks (google.com/bookmarks) from my PC to edit/rename My Places. However, the names do not sync or carry through to the Google Maps app on the phone. The names in the app are still the generic names, coordinates or street names.
Is there any way to change the names of My Places and get them to sync with the phone app? Really baffling!

Was searching in Google for same issue and came across this post.
Okay, I figure out how to reproduce the bug, at least in my case. If I star it on the desktop browser, it won't push any new name to the ios app. But if I star it on the ios app, then go to rename it in the browser, and then go back to the ios app, the new name appears. Huh?

I tried with one of my bookmarks and this technique worked!

I wrote that. Good to see myself quoted on xda!
Definitely this works on latest Maps app on Latest iOS. However, definitely this technique does *not* work (at least in my case, Samsung GS4 Google Ed.) using the latest Maps app (7.0.1) on Android 4.2.2. In fact, with this setup, the places list does not show *any* of the names I have assigned using the Bookmarks webpage, no matter what I try. Erg.
Here is the New Google Maps Ver. 7.00
If you are running Android Ver 4.1+ download this apk

If you are running Android Ver 4.2 download this apk

From what I have noticed is it takes away the Navigation and Places Icon as it is all in the Maps app now. Also Latitude is gone from the app and you can no longer access your Location History from the App itself.
I didn't like the way you control the street view on this maps app

I got the update thru the Play Store and now Maps isn't able to communicate with my contacts. Anyone else having this problem?
I can no longer search a list of my contacts to get directions or go to my contact's details and click on their address to get turn by turn directions.

I have noticed this as well, although I've never used it, but I'm sure for those that did its a hassle
Life is too short to be unhappy
Thanks for the confirmation. I chose to revert back to an old version of Maps for now. Titanium Backup saves the day once again!
Is this the one with Latitude removed?

I can find a contact if I start typing their name in the search bar.

Location sharing has been removed. It is now part on G+
Hi, my wife's phone when searching in chrome does not provide any places when you do a web search in chrome. I.e. if you search for "home Depot near me"it won't show you nearby home Depot locations. It does however work normal if you use the Samsung internet browser which she is using for now. Does anybody know the cause of this? Is it a setting somewhere? I have cleared cache and even did a factory reset and the problem still persists.
Goto to Settings / Apps
scroll down to Chrome and select
Scroll to Permssions and make sure the Location check box is ticked
