Google Maps "Can't Connect" to any searched location using my Google Account
This is a little strange error I've started facing since last 2-3 days. I'm not able to search for any location on Google Maps using my Google Account on my Google Pixel (Android Pie). Whenever I try to search any location under the explore tab I get a toast "Can't Connect". However, if I try to switch to a different Google Account on Google Maps, then the search work absolutely fine. Also, when I try to search on desktop version of Google Maps using the same old Google Account it works absolutely fine. I've tried uninstalling all updates to Google Maps, clearing data, clearing cache but no luck. A few other people have also reported similar issue on the Play Store page of Google Maps. Please help me on this.
It sounds to me like it doesn't like something in your Google account settings; maybe some privacy setting, or something.
Have you tried testing while connected to different networks?

Whenever I try to sign in, it says that a secure connection can not be made. I have tried clearing the app data in the settings, as well as reinstalling google play. In the settings menu, it says that I am not signed into a google account, yet my youtube, google music and chrome are still signed into my account (and I can use them normally). Gmail and google play won't let me get past the sign in screen though. Is there anything I can do?
I just got a google play apk online and installed it, and I am still having the problem.
Hi there!
Since recently, on my Note 4, whenever an app wants to load Google Maps (Like sports trackers for instance), it doesn't load a map, but instead gives a message "Google play services are updating".
Google Maps itself is working fine.
I use Cyanogenmod. I used Google to try and solve my issue, but no suggestions so far helped. I'm trying to avoid having to do a factory reset. Anyone any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
When I try to use the Google Voice app, it launches and gets stuck at the "Sign in to your Google Account" screen, with a brief message at the bottom that says "Failed retrieving accounts." It works fine on my Nexus 4 running Nougat (Lineage). Anyone able to use the Google Voice app on the Pixel 2?
I also notice some other weird account behavior, like in the maps app, in the side pane, I don't see my account name to sign in, but I do see it in a pop up if I click on "add account" (and can log in with maps--as well as Play and other apps).
Any thoughts what's up with Google Voice? Uninstalling it and reinstalling it did not help. Neither did restarting the phone several times.

[Edit: OMG, I answered my own question after futzing with this for more than an hour. It turned out that Google Play Services did not have permission to access contacts on my device and that caused the weirdness on Google Voice and Maps also.
So I went to: Apps & Notifications > All apps > Google Play services > Permissions and then flipped the switch to enable contacts.
I guess when the pop up says, "If you deny this permission, basic features of your device may no longer function as intended," they mean it. When I was disabling some of this stuff, I figured Google was just trying to scare me away from giving them more personal information (which Google probably considers a basic feature).
The funny thing is that on my Nexus 4 with Lineage, Google Play services has permission to access contacts, in the same place in the settings. But then in the Privacy Guard settings I set it to ignore requests to read or modify contacts from Google Play services and that apparently does not interfere with how it manages accounts. In fact, Privacy Guard says Google Play services has never tried to read or modify my contacts, even though it apparently needs permission to do so or won't work correctly. Weird.]
In my case it was not a permissions issue. My Google Play Services was very old and not updating itself. Loading the latest APK fixed the issue with Google Voice (via Apkmirror). I could not even update from the Play Store.
Hello,
Model: rk3368
MCU: MTCE_CHS_V3.15_1
I have a problem with accessing contacts and calendar from Google account. Most Google applications work correctly but Google Contacts says that I should log into my Google account (I am already logged in) but when I do the in app procedure it says that I am already logged in.
This problem shows up also in Waze app that has trouble accessing contacts. It seems like the problem is related to Android system because the same Waze version has no trouble with accessing the contacts on regular Android phone.
I'm running stock firmware. Maybe I should upgrade to Malaysk's version? Do you think it would help?
PS: I ran into this problem because I was trying to find an alternative to Google Maps because Google Maps widget with saved route was not working on this firmware (Google Maps was starting but into the main view instead of starting the route from the widget). Maybe someone could test on Malaysk's version that Google Maps widgets work correctly, please?
I'm here to tell you that I have the exact same problem with Google Contacts -- it is unable to display any of the contacts in my Google account (blank screen), and when I click on the profile button, it guides me through logging into my Google account, only to then tell me I am already logged into the same account.
I have a MTCE_HT_V2.84_1 unit here (Eonon GA9153A).

@cannondale0815 Would you be kind enough to check if you also are unable to search for your contacts in Waze? I clicked to allow contacts access in Waze when it asks but when I enter a name it shows nothing. The same when I search for contacts in the share ride view. I'm asking because I'm debugging this issue with Waze support for several months now.
I tried it yesterday but despite me authorizing Waze to access my contacts, nothing shows up. So I suppose it's the same issue you are seeing.

Hello same problem here on my px30. Impossible to synchronize my gmail account. Google contacts ask me Google duo or Gmail Exchange, nothing work.

I tried contact+ on playstore, it synchronize perfectly but I don't like third app
I tried microg (from youtubeVanced) not working either... crazy Google
Hello,
I would like to open some discussion regarding the GMS and all workarounds and restoring unknown backups! if you check the info.xml file within any of these backups you would find model, build, identification, and serials different from what you have!! and running some Chinese application that has devices administrator with all privileges on your devices!
I know that vanced youtube is using microg project for adding google account. is it possible to have something similar for chrome and maps? I mean microg-chrome or microg-maps?
Thanks

I was having issues with some location based apps. For instance google maps and a dating/hookup app. Google Maps would open and then immediately force close. The dating app would say that this app cant run without google play services which your device is not eligible for. What I did: Factory reset phone-install GMS-Made sure all of my accounts were logged into-Installed all apps that I wanted from play store-Then I used an app to freeze google play services and Google services framework-uninstalled the play store.
I then opened my dating app and bam it worked where as before it couldnt detect my location. All was good with that. As far as Google Maps it would still immediately force close, so I uninstalled it. I installed an earler version of Google Maps before my mate 30 pro 5g was released and bam. It worked. My account is logged into and Maps works perfectly with no force closes. I tested it twice now as far as navigation goes. I also had a problem with the Google Voice app. It said having problems retrieving your accounts. This was before I used an app to freeze Google services framework and play services. When I opened Google voice after the freeze, everything went perfect and it recognized my accounts.
As far as apps goes I use petal search to find any apps or apkpure.
Hope this helped!
By the way here is the freeze app that I used. Just follow the instructions to install and then freeze those two Google apps:
