Display Public Saved Lists on Maps profile

Need some help here. I have many Public Saved List (set to Public). Yet these lists don’t show up in my Maps profile. I have separately verified with at least 2 other persons who have the same experience.
Note that I can share each list separately as a URL, that’s not a problem. Just the Public Saved List is not showing as below. Access through the latest Google Maps app on my Android 8.0 phone.

Hello! I have been saving locations with the ‘stars’ in the ‘Save’ area, in ‘Save to my lists.’ Recently I’ve noticed when traveling back to some locations that I do not have the locations still ‘starred’ or with a heart the way that I had marked them, previously.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Do you know why this could be?

Thank you!

Hi @StephenAbraham ,

Can you check if your profile is set to private or public?

@YK1001 Definitely public. I also check Julien’s profile earlier which is Public and he has a few Public Shared Lists, but from his profile the Shared List is blank. Same issue about the blank Shared list.

It seems I cannot see any lists from your Maps profile, @StephenAbraham and vice versa.

Anyone can confirm, they have Lists published in their Maps profile that is visible to others?

I confirm @StephenAbraham .

You clearly found a bug.

Just tested on my smartphone using a different account.

@GeorgesHR @DeniGu If we can get some assistance to have someone look into this issue. Not sure if this is temporary, but I have not seen my public list in my public profile before. Let us know what additional information you may need.

I am on Google Maps 10.2.1

Android 8.0.0, Security Patch Sept 1 2018

The same issue on everyone we have chatted with including myself, @JulienH , @YK1001 , @LucioV , @LudwigGermany

HI @LudwigGermany ,

If I am viewing my own Contributions page, I also do not have the “Lists” tab.

Hi Stephen, same issue here. I have around 20 lists. All set to public in the Sharing Options and a public profile. Definitely a bug. I have also reported it in Google Maps ‘report an issue’ functionality. Hopefully this gets solved soon.

Evening everyone!

I’ve been busy busy making some lists and am really happy with them. Here are three examples:

https://goo.gl/maps/RgqyPypptb82

When I click on settings I have selected ‘public’ however when others try to view my lists it states that nothing is published yet as shown in the screenshot below. Please help as I think I must have missed something somewhere. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Hi @Johnvb this is something already discussed here: https://www.localguidesconnect.com/t5/General-Discussion/Display-Public-Saved-Lists-on-Maps-profile/m-p/1112727

Hopefully the team is working on this :wink:

hi, I am having the same issue. At first I thought it was related to the number of the items on the list I made public (more than 100 items), so I tried one with few items. Still got the ‘not published lists yet’ message. Hope this will be resolved soonI

Thank you! I wondered if it had anything to do with being a tester for the new Google Maps features?

Nothing yet on that front I guess…

I guess not… I still am traveling to areas I have been previously, and finding no ‘stars’ or saved locations that I had saved in the past. Very upsetting.
