How to Fix Google Maps Not Working
This issue can apply to both the website version of Google Maps and the mobile apps for iOS and Android. Follow these steps to try to get navigation working again. In that case, you’re relying on the strength and availability of your cellular network. Even if your phone is working perfectly, check the cellular status icon at the top of the screen to make sure you can send and receive data to Google Maps.
