[Solved] Issue on Maps: Some POIs can not load due to Server Error (500)!

Hello,

These days I’m facing new (still small) issue on Google Maps.

I found some POIs that when I click on them, the system has connection issue for opening them. It also affects editing them and even by options under send feedback menu, I can not edit them. Note that this conditions is totally different from not editable places/boundaries those putted on the map from Map Maker.

In desktop when I click on the icon, it remains on an endless loading. If I have the link of POI from the past and I open it, the system shows error 500.

In app when I click on the icon or when I open its link, it shows “Can’t connect” error.

Some examples from different cities to see this problem is not related to one city:

1. Here is “Hasht Behesht Business Center” but we can not open it: https://goo.gl/maps/vM1xqvLTVb2QjMTTA

I only add coordination link because I can not open POI to reach its main link.

It is also a direct link (Thanks to @MortenCopenhagen ) to the POI but it shows error 500:https://maps.app.goo.gl/fcndPrKTbLqDDPPc6

2. “فروشگاه ورزشی-رزمی بهاره” that its name is descriptive but I can not open to edit:

Link to coordinates: https://goo.gl/maps/pUxSBkjUPZViGdGS8

Direct link (without opening it to get short URL)

3. “پیتزا هات کیک سه بعدی نیک نشان” its name is also descriptive and should be fixed:

Link to coordinates: https://goo.gl/maps/MAX4vkkND6ZXN8hD7

Direct link (without opening it to get short URL)

Still I can not reach to add direct link and I only added link to coordinates.

4. This one (Mellat Park) is more strange, because its knowledge panel works, we can see it from English interface but from Persian interface of the Maps (changing language to Fa) we see error 500!

Other findings:

  • I’m facing this issue, since nearly more than a week.
  • First I thought it is a newly removed POI so I added it again, because it was a correct POI, but new added one, merged with old one and again shows error.
  • This issue is for some few places in each area and not all places.
  • I checked several cities and found some places with such problem.
  • I asked from other friends in different cities and countries to check the places I sent them, and they repeated the error.
  • I found that some places those marked as “Permanently Closed” have this problem. But some places wrongly marked as “permanently closed” and we should reach them to fix. Current condition cause wrong info remains on the map.
  • Even searching the place on Web Search shows no knowledge panel of the POI, although previously it did.
  • Searching on Maps for some categories also shows server error. For example the simple and very common phrase “Restaurant in Mashhad” shows server error.

It will be good if Googlers can take a look into this issue @TsekoV

Thank you so much

I can reproduce the first two errors reported by @Amiran here from Denmark. I have been searching for the same issues on POIs around here with no “luck”.

Hello dear @TsekoV

Today I tested and it works fine. It seems all mentioned problems resolved.

Let’s wait another day to see is it stable? I hope so.

Thanks a lot for helping about this issue :blush:
