Is the application failing to identify your location?

Is your device connected to the internet?

Is your GPS turned ON?

Are you present in a location which is located in the suburbs or the mountains or a location which may be difficult to reach and some distance away from a city/populated area?

Common conclusions

First, uninstall the previous version and download the latest version which is compatible with your device, then try again.

Reinstall the application as there might have been an error while installing, then try again.

First you have to create an account to login, using the same details of your google account. Enter the correct credentials and try again.

From the internal settings, turn the GPS feature on and restart the application.

Sometimes google maps fails to locate you as you may be present in an area with a weak GPS signal. Try to change your position and try again.

Contact google's official helpline regarding the problem you are facing.

Try using the name of the location or manually back tracking to the location on google maps as it may not have been updated recently.
