Google Maps App Crashes Globally, Leaves Users Frustrated by Islie: 9:23pm On Mar 18, 2022
Popular navigation app, Google Maps, on Friday afternoon went down, leaving users frustrated around the world.

According to Down Detector, the issues started at around 3:44pm on Friday.

While reason for the outage remains unclear, more than 11,000 reports have now been logged on Down Detector.

Of those who reported issues, 58 per cent said they were struggling with the website, 39 per cent with the app and three per cent were having problems with data.

Google is yet to respond to request for comment on the outage.

Many frustrated users have taken to Twitter to discuss the outage.

Google Maps is available in over 220 countries and territories, and features hundreds of millions of businesses and places.

Its last major update was in October 2021 when Google introduced new tools to help users reduce their environmental impact including eco-friendly routing, live navigation for cyclists and bike and scooter share information.

Choi, and Buhari is not doing anything about it.

Lamidi kwanu said it in one of his prophecies that Google map will collapse and bubu will not do anything about it.

Amelica own collapsed and Donald Tlump restored it in 2 seconds.

That's why EU have been fining Google against monopolistic behaviors. If they allowed users to choose which Map provider they want during Android on-boarding these issue wouldn't arise. There are other Map providers like Open Street Map - https://www.openstreetmap.org and Map Box - https://www.mapbox.com/. Anyway the app is called Google Map, it's now left to app developers to have other map providers as backup.

Unless something like this happen often, we don't realize how far we have become dependent on technology. Such crash reminds us that we always need to have plan B and not rely 100% on technology.
