Please help me find this place again on Google Maps—the one with the night street view. Spoiler

(SOLVED)I took this Google Earth screenshot for the first time in 2018 while exploring a random location. I saved it under the name “N Lincoln Street,” but now that I want to find it again, I can’t locate it anywhere. It might be somewhere near Seattle or on one of the islands there. It looks like a river, and there’s a railroad bridge over it. I’m attaching the photo to this comment.

Help/Support how do i prevent family from tracking my phones locations with their google fi account?

3 Upvotes

i think its a lack of privacy and my brother is always checking where i go everytime i leave the house or state. he manages my phone number on his google fi account because we have a family plan for the whole family so idk what hes seeing or how he is able to track where i go. all i know is that he knows my every location. i dont like that. were both grown adults here why does he need to know my every location? how do i prevent this so he doesnt know where im always at. if i turn off my location will he know i turned it off? he is the type of person who will take offense to that

Google Maps not working on my laptops but my phone app is working fine.

I’m having trouble with Google Maps. When I use my laptops on my profile, Google Maps won’t show my ID badge, or the zoom or any of the clickable icons that also appear on the map.  Saved places don’t appear on the Map.  The search bar appears but it doesn’t work.  When I use a mouse to zoom in or out, the motion of Google Maps online is herkie-jerky and moves funny.  This happens both my MacBook and my older PC when using my main profile. If I use one of my other profiles, it works normal on every device.  This has been giving me the identical trouble on Safari, Edge and Chrome. But Google Maps works normal on my iPhone as this problem happens when I’m using one of my laptops. This main Google profile of mine works fine with my regular email, but I noticed that when I bookmarked the Google calendar website, the little icon next to the calendar no longer shows today’s date.  It just displays the Google “G” instead.  I have tried everything from deleting book marks to updating browsers etc.  The only thing that seems to work is when I clear my browser history and search for Google Maps and log on that way.  But if I close the page, I’m back to having trouble again. It seems to me that something on my account is blocking me from logging in to my profile unless I start with a clean history.  Does anybody have any ideas on what to try next? Otherwise I might have to use one of my lesser used Google email accounts which would be a bummer because all of my saved locations are on my primary Google account.

'Report a Problem' has just gotten worse and worse

5 Upvotes

I've been quite good over the years in reporting 'problems' on the map - closed roads, roadworks, missing or non-existant roads etc. But now I'm just finding that everything is just "Not Accepted". Today, the road outside my house has been closed for 3 days. I have reported it to Google Maps three times - with links to the online portal with the closure notice, the closure reference etc. They just keep saying "Not Accepted". Means there's loads of people are clearly being directed on this route and then getting frustrated and lost and are needing to turn round on a small back street.

I've noticed this with my own use of directions...it just seems to be much more unreliable.

Help/Support Google Maps dropping route guidance

2 Upvotes

Is anyone else having issues with Google Maps dropping route guidance mid-drive?

Edit:
This is happening in areas with plenty of signal.
