Google Search In Maps Appears Broken

Anyone else having issues with searching within Google Maps? This is the error I’m seeing-

I’ve tried different computers and different browsers.

Is the same search working as expected on phones? Or is the issue isolated to computers?

@MortenCopenhagen good question. Just checked and it appears to be impacting mobile as well.

I also tested and found no issues. Maybe the issue is limited to some regions. I’m in Europe. You?

Please share some steps needed to reproduce the issue.

On cell Maps search is broken also, I cannot do a search in a specific area. This is an example, it just returns the overall area.

Thanks.

No issues on my end.

Which server is helping me is probably depending on my location.

If you are familiar with VPN try “moving” to somewhere in Europe and try again.

Hi @photoslinger and @MortenCopenhagen

In the past few hours, there have been several reports on the Google Maps forum about exactly the same problems. So it seems there might be a technical issue. We have also requested the map team to look into the matter.

Thanks, @NareshDarji

Much appreciated.

I believe we can conclude that escalation via the LG team is not needed. This issue is also much bigger than just related to LGs.
