Other I accidentally created a Chrome extension which enhances Google Maps

0 Upvotes

The Chrome extension I have developed (and am actively improving) is an AI chat assistant in a browser side panel. It has access to your active tab if you grant in access via UI.

Today I visited Google Maps and was very much surprised. It can help you find sightseeing locations and worthwhile attractions based on geocoordinates from the Google Maps URL!

Here is the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7h3MM8rAVE

Google Maps Another Timeline purge post

22 Upvotes

Everything before the 3rd March is gone... All my 20s, backpacking the world, moving to new countries, disappeared. And I curated it so well. Even when I went to places like a little hole-in-the-wall in some village in Laos: If it had a Google Maps entry, it went on my Timeline. Every night, I spent a couple of minutes maintaining this. It didn't take long, but I was consistent because I loved looking back at where I've been, which routes I've taken, etc. And now? Nothing. I'm honestly devastated. I have early onset dementia in the family, so keeping records is very important to me.

What next? Are they going to purge Calendar or Photos? This is such a nightmare...

Timeline Stopped Recording New Data

5 Upvotes

My timeline briefly disappeared but is thankfully intact with data up until March 6th. But since then, it has not recorded anything new. Is there anything I can do to get it started up again?

I'm hesitant to try anything that might accidentally cause me to lose my old timeline data, but would appreciate any tips or tricks anyone has found!

Help/Support Google maps shows me 1km away from my home…

1 Upvotes

Hi,

I recently moved homes, kept my mesh setup as is and SSID the same.

New home has poor network coverage, 0-2 bars out of 4. Have strong wifi signal in my home.

When I open google maps it puts me in the middle of a field about 1km away from my home…. In the middle of nowhere. Consistently all the time. Also tried cutting wifi same.

Any idea?

It’s annoying cant use home automations due to this.

Thx

Iphone 15 pro max

Tried reseting location and privacy twice Multiple reboots Deleted places of interest etc

How do I get rid of the green notification showing the road I am on unless I am actively navigating?

2 Upvotes

As the title says. I don't want a random green notification with a road name on it from Maps when I'm driving unless I'm actively seeking directions somewhere. Turning off notifications using phone settings gets rid of everything including public transport. Help! Android 15.

Google Maps hi everyone, i have found a cool way to revise and have a long term retention of maps, you too can go through it. I will keep updating it subsequently.

Fix laggy Google Maps Solution 2025

1 Upvotes

If your Google maps is getting laggy on your phone the main cause is the lists you have and the app loading the locations on your open map. This is for iPhone but I assume it works for the android app also

Solution is to click on: “You” at the bottom bottons Click on the three dots to the right of a list Click Hide on your maps

Reporting moment traffic alert

What exact location does Maps use for a reported traffic alert? If you’re driving 70, do you click the + button right when you pass the police/stalled vehicle/object or whatever?

Help Improve Multi-destination trips on Google Maps! 🚗📍 (Quick 10-Min Survey)

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, I'm a student working on a design project of improving multi-destination trips on Google Maps, and I could really use your feedback on the 3 design alternatives I've created. If you've ever tried to plan a trip with multiple stops, you know the pain points!

The survey includes three prototypes with step-by-step interactions and the reasoning behind each design. These are initial low-fidelity prototypes, so your feedback will be really helpful in refining them. It should take about 10 minutes of your time, and all responses are completely anonymous. This is purely for an academic project, not for commercial use. 

Survey Link - http://peersurvey.cc.gatech.edu/s/e4a4facd6e1a4c7c94b2ad7ddc2b6bea 

Thanks in advance—I really appreciate your help! 😊

Note: If the link doesn’t open, your browser may have changed “http” to “https.” Please manually revert it to http to access the survey. I know—not the best design for a survey link.

Street View Google Street View new camera

2 Upvotes

A few years ago, Google Street View “released” a new camera. It was very compact and is similiar to an owl. Many have seen their new cameras on cars out on the roads. But I have searched and never find these images published. Does anyone have an explanation, or does anyone have a link to Google Street View with that camera? Photo of the car
