Title: Google maps stopped working
Post by freediver on Dec 11th, 2022 at 9:45am
Google maps stopped working on my mobile the other day. When I searched for something, the only results that came up were other recent searches, until I got a message saying "something went wrong". After trying a dozen different things, I figured out it was because I had changed the password on my gmail account via my computer, which logged me out of the google account on the phone, which somehow stopped google maps from working. This happened in the middle of a work trip in another city when I needed it to get around.

I could not google the fix.

I think it is google's way of making sure you are logged in when you use their maps, so they can track where you go.

Nobody uses UBDs anymore?

Nope. SatNav does all that.

Do use Google maps for various reasons but not UBDs.

GPS knows where you are if your phone is on, no internet required.

There are Apps that talk to you set your destination then it will tell you turn left 200m turn right 100m etc until you reach your destination.

You sit around on the internet all day i don't think anyone would believe you drive anywhere

Hopefully they tell you when to breathe in, and when to breathe out too.

When I get in a car, I know where I'm going and I know how to get there - I don't need anyone telling me where or when to turn left or right.

My pilot, yes.

I don't need a co-pilot when I'm behind the wheel.

Some of us are adults, I guess.

I think I would be safe in assuming that you only have a licence to drive an automatic car.

To you, "four on the floor", has a completely different meaning.

Yes, I look in the UBD, memorise the route, put it back in the seat pocket, and then drive to my destination.

I've just never understood why people need to be told where to turn left, where to turn right, what exit to take on a roundabout, etc.

Look at the map, see where you need to go, then drive there.

Because it's always there.

Power goes out - it's still there.

Internet drops out - it's still there.

WiFi dies - it's still there.

Reliable and easy to use.

Nobody uses UBDs anymore?


Why would anyne buy a UBD when google maps does it on your phone?


I don't use a phone when I'm driving.

I'm a responsible motorist.

You, not so much.


There are Apps that talk to you set your destination then it will tell you turn left 200m turn right 100m etc until you reach your destination.


Hopefully they tell you when to breathe in, and when to breathe out too.

When I get in a car, I know where I'm going and I know how to get there - I don't need anyone telling me where or when to turn left or right.


I'm sure that's just more of your "look at me, I would never go to Bali" type posing but it does not line up with your previous post.

I still have one in the back pocket of the passenger seat in my car.

It's all I use.


Who really gives a rat's arse about what maps people use?


Yes, I look in the UBD, memorise the route, put it back in the seat pocket, and then drive to my destination.

I've just never understood why people need to be told where to turn left, where to turn right, what exit to take on a roundabout, etc.

Look at the map, see where you need to go, then drive there.

Simples!


You can't do that with a phone?


I don't want to do that with a phone.

Why would I?   :-/


Why would you look it up and memorise it from a book?


Because it's always there.

Power goes out - it's still there.

Internet drops out - it's still there.

WiFi dies - it's still there.

Reliable and easy to use.


So basically you'll be fine when the appoccyclips is upon us? They'll call you "The Navigator"
If it comes to that I'll just lift one.

I usually pull over to a hot chick walking by and ask her for directions. I love it when they come to my car, bend forward and start pointing directions up ahead, while I stare brainlessly at their cleavage. Of course, I just get lost and have to ask another hot chick walking by. :D

You have no idea on this and no idea on basically everything else. Hell, you're not even close to this country - so much so, I really think you only know your way around the USA.
You're certainly a lost cause here in Australia. ::)

Nope. I don't have homo-erotic fantasies like you do weirdo creepoid.
I certainly don't relate to your strange little Media world of shooting stars of Wankers in America.

Is Hillcrest in Queensland?  My geography isn't that good.

What about 'The Whiskey Au Go Go Fire in Fortitude Valley'?

The Whiskey Au Go Go fire was a fire that occurred at 2.08 am on Thursday 8 March 1973, in the Whiskey Au Go Go nightclub in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane, Australia that killed 15 people.

Again, my geography isn't that good.

Is Brisbane anywhere near Queensland?

Oh. And these are your words in another Topic.
Mr "I don't need google maps, etc".

You're a joke! ;D

Google (and Maps) tells me there's not many Guitar Shops in WA south.
I'm sure I'll find one where I know I can get a good deal.
