Google Maps - outage

[shaggymatt]

Confirmed with a friend in a different state, and also from a person with a Crackberry. Data connection lost is the error.

Looks like they'll be going the way of Squalor-Mart and performing a Rollback.

Data connection lost.

Yup, in GA and not getting any maps at all. "Data connection lost, retrying..." is the error I get.

I got the data connection error, let it keep going, and eventually it worked. But it took forever.

I am also seeing some advertising with the new version of google maps.

What kind of advertising? What did it look like?

 

[fireshaper]

Things are back up for me. I don't see any advertising at all.

 

[shaggymatt]

New! Google Maps for mobile 3.3 for Android! - Google Mobile Help

According to google, it is a server problem.

What kind of advertising? What did it look like?

There is a "sponsored link" in the list view for search results. There is also a small popup at the top of the map view with another sponsored link. It is just like the ads on a regular google search.

looks like maps work now, latitude is down

 

[Phone Guy]

Latitude is down for me also.

GMaps was working fine for me today, around 4pm and right after I updated probably around 9pm. Just checked again and everything works, including Latitude.
