I can't find Google Maps on my TF300. There is no icon on the desktop and none in the installed apps screen.
However, when I go to the Google Store, it allows me to update the app, then allows me to open the app. It runs fine. After I close it, the app disappears and I can't find the icon.
Somebody clue me in... Please !!!
Have you looked for just "Maps"? That's google maps. On mine there was an icon on the desktop when I got it.

There is no icon named Maps, Google Maps, or anything similar. Since I did not delete any apps, it has me wondering about 'hidden' apps.
Did you download the Maps app?
I have maps on mine, starting from stock.
On the home screen, swipe one screen to the right. It's in a folder called "Google Services".
Make sure in your app drawer you are under the apps tab. Not sure if it exists on the stock launcher, but on apex i have a downloaded tab and it doesn't show any preinstalled apps under that tab.

My 'Google Services' has 4 apps: Search, Messenger, Google+, Play Store, Gmail, and Talk. My Settings screen shows that Maps is a Downloaded App.
Still no sign of an icon - and no easy to start maps. Am I the only one with this setup?
Strange, I've got 10 apps under my google services. Search, Messenger, Google+, Play Store, Maps, Places, Latitude, Navigation , Gmail and talk. And I haven't messed with that icon. Are you too far in to do a factory reset?

I'm sorry that you can't see my screens . I still have only 4 items under Google Services. BUT, suddenly Maps appeared in the App Drawer. I have not used the tablet all afternoon - so, no changes by me.
It is disturbing that we have such different configurations - right from the factory.
Go to market and download.....resolved.

Go to market, it says installed right? Uninstall and reinstall from there.

I think Yandex Maps are much better than Google Maps for GPS direction. GMaps cannot find the right direction. I'm going to south but the arrow shows north.
Anyway, I prefer Yandex Maps. There's no accounting for taste.
But there's an issue. I cannot use Yandex Maps as an assigned Map service. For example I'm getting a location from Whatsapp. I click on it and in app selection bar there's no Yandex Maps. I installed Here Maps to try. It's good too but it uses so much memory on background. I can see it on app selection bar but still no Yandex Maps.
Do you have any idea about this issue?
I use the My Maps app to store my waypoints and Google Maps to navigate on my Note 4. According to all of the info I've found to read online, I should be able to share this map with someone and they should be able to open it in either My Maps or the Google Maps app. I've sent this using the Share option and the invite option, and both only allow the other person to pull them up in the mobile Google Maps web page.
There is a way to share maps, as there is a tab at the top of the app that shows maps shared with you, but man, I can't figure out how to do it. Do you guys know something I missed?
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:
