Hello.
Anyone had issues with Google Maps Timeline, with wrong tracking of position ? Look at the screenshot.
I always had this issue. I am using RUI3, not root.
Any solution ?
Thanks.

I've been searching like crazy past couple of days but with no apparent luck. If not to take into account the countless bookmarks that I have been creating. God knows why.
The problem for me is that I have never used a GPS software and as far as I have been reading, it is either tracking/geocaching software without maps and/or with online maps. Or then GPS solution for car with offline maps. I can't read out from anywhere whether geocaching/tracking software is able to use cached google map tiles - these can be obtained, that much I know.
So, is it so common to use that no GPS software maker mentions the possibility to use offline google maps?
Or is that so reasonable solution (at least to my mind) for having a tracking/geocaching GPS software that can use cached/offline map tiles from google, simply something that nobody wants except me?
Please enlighten me...
There is at least 1 GPS software package that I know of that can use the cached Google maps, gpsVP, and it's free.
I don't know if this helps, but .....
Here's the link to the website.

Thanks for the hint. I've been searching also meanwhile and found these threads and the application called Mobile Gmaps, if anyone is interested.

NOTE: Mods I don't know exactly where to post this. Sorry.
I live in South Korea. I use Windows Mobile 6.1 on a Blackjack III(epix) Korean version. Yes, English programs install just fine. I have used Google Latitude for just over one year. Worked great. Then Latitude / Google Maps 4.0/4.1 came out. Since April I haven't been able to update my location from my phone. The "Join Latitude" is not available in the menus anywhere like it used to be. Now it's just generic Google Maps with GPS. NO latitude functionality whatsoever. To update my location I must log into google from a desktop. Yes, foolish.
Has anyone else had similar problems? Any solutions? I'm looking for a Latitude 3 cab if anyone has it, I'd love to have it and see if it still works. I regret updating to 4.
Really sucks being a lone exception...
I have not found anyone else online having this problem.
Hi
I'm running a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and using Google Maps for navigation and TomTom speed cameras for, well, speed camera notification. I'd like to be able to trigger TomTom on when I open Google Maps and shut it down when I close Google maps rather than manually opening and closing each app separately. I don't seem to be able to find a solution on Llama or IFTTT, but maybe I'm looking in the wrong place. Any ideas out there for accomplishing this?
Thanks
Hi, I'm new to XDA and have a question regarding Mock Location on my Google Pixel 2 XL. I've searched far and wide for people experiencing an issue similar to mine only to find nothing.
I have a Verizon locked bootloader, but still have developer options etc. that I can enable like mock location. Though mock location is available for me to turn on, it seems to not work properly. I've tried several apps, the first being Fake GPS GO Location Spoofer Free by IncorporateApps.. The second was Fake GPS Location by Lexa.. I've had the same issue with both apps where the app does change my location to what I set it to, but when somebody tries to locate me from Google Maps Location Sharing, after some time of having the location set it doesn't update, and says the last time my location was updated was hours ago, as if I had location sharing off.
I don't think it's a problem with the apps I use, because the same thing happened with both. With my old phone, a Google Nexus 6, I used Fake GPS GO by IncorporateApps and it worked just fine, and the location would be visible and updating to the person trying to locate me on Android Device Manager, now called Find My Device.
I'm just not sure on whether or not it's an issue with the Locked bootloader not liking that I keep the mock location going for extended periods, or if it's an issue with Google Maps Location Sharing that doesn't like the use of mock location.
I did some troubleshooting with the phone of those trying to locate me (A Moto X) through Google Location Sharing when using mock location, to find that the location seems to "update" on the other phone when I go into Google maps from my phone. However, this hasn't proven to be a surefire way to get it to update, since it hasn't had a 100% success rate.
I'm sorry about the very long post, this just happens to be a complex issue and I want to explain with the best detail that I can. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much.
may i ask why you are using a GPS location spoofer in the first place? I'll answer this the best I can with my guess on what it could be.
It sounds like something to do with Google Maps and its cache system. Google Maps is constantly caching maps and locations temporarily to your device. Sharing that location with someone using Google Maps might have something to do with how Google Maps stores cache. If your location hasn't changed than Google Maps has no reason to update your location.

Thank you! That sounds like it could be it. Maybe I'll look further into the caching system for Maps.
My mock location is also not working on Pixel2 XL. I do not want to fake my location, I actually want to use an external survey grade GPS unit for precise location. And that has to be done through the mock location setting. But it is not working. Any ideas why that maybe?

Hi!
Do you have a working solution finally? I have the same issue...
Hello,
Does anybody have the same Problem ?
The Timeline in Google Maps doesnt Work anymore, since last Update of my Vivo Nex S.
The Google Account settings of Timeline function is correct. I testet it with a Samsung A5.
Yes, same here. Apparently there was a change in the firmware on how the GPS communicates with maps, and that is broken ever since. Vivo reccomends going to a service center to fix it, but they ain't gonna fix sh*t. Strangely enough it is working with maps GO in Chrome.
maybe that's a good thing since google can't track you anymore....
