Hi guys,
I'm using the GMaps app for months without Google Play Services on a Pixel 7 with an up to date GOS.
Logging in isn't possible as it depends on the Play Services but I even managed to make the navigation work, I just need to activate the permission for location before I start GMaps.
To my surprise, the app stopped working somewhere around last week.
"Stopped working" means, it doesn't load any map content anymore.
I just see a grey background where the map has been before.
I can search for places, watch pictures, do anything else how I should be able to.
No need to tell you: without any map access, the app isn't usable.
First thing I've tried is to delete cache, then delete data, then remove and install the app again.
The only thing that has surprisingly worked was the new installation (there shouldn't be any difference to just deleting all the files of the app, right?).
Even more surprising was, that the app did stop working for a second time after a short period, not more than a few minutes.
I don't remember what I have done before that, such as restarting the app. Can't remember if there were any software updates of GOS or the GMaps app before.
Anyway, the app didn't work since then. Not a single time, not even for a short period. Always just the grey background.
Does anyone know that issue, is there any explanation or even a solution for that?
Thanks a lot in advance.
