Google Maps outages and problems
In the past 24 hours, 144 user reports came in for Google Maps. Counting only the 15-minute windows with a spike big enough to count as an outage, that comes to 100.00% uptime for the day.

How to fix Google Maps not working
Google Maps is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:
Your browser tries to reach google.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Check the live Google Maps status
Google Maps is operational. If you are asking "is Google Maps down" or "is Google Maps down right now", check the Google Maps server status before changing your device settings. The page shows 100.00% uptime over 24 hours, 144 outage reports, and a last outage more than 24 hours ago; a Google Maps down detector can help confirm a wider problem.
Refresh the mobile app
If Google Maps not working today affects only your phone, force close the app and open it again. On Android, clear its cache; on iPhone, install any pending app update and restart the device.
Check your network and DNS
Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data, then test another website. If the Google Maps network status looks normal but you still see errors, restart your router or set DNS to 1.1.1.1; searches for Google Maps outage today 2026 and is Google Maps working can help compare reports from other locations.
While Google Maps is down: what to use instead
- Offline areas you already saved If you downloaded an offline area in the app before the trouble started, you can still search places and get driving directions inside that area with no connection.
- Apple Maps On an iPhone it comes preinstalled and gives turn-by-turn directions.
- Waze It runs as a separate app with live traffic and hazard reports from other drivers, so try it when your usual maps app won't load a driving route.
- Organic Maps This app uses OpenStreetMap data and keeps whole regions on your phone, which helps when you have no signal at all.
Fix Google Maps on Windows, Mac, Android and iPhone
Google Maps on Windows
- Fix
- Clear your web browser's cache and cookies, or temporarily disable extensions that might block Google Maps from loading. You can also try switching to a different browser to see if the issue persists.
- Check
- To check if Google Maps is down on Windows, try loading the website in a private browsing window or check a public status detector. If the site loads in private mode, the issue is likely related to your browser cache.
ping google.comTest whether Google Maps's servers replynslookup google.comCheck that Google Maps's DNS resolvestracert google.comTrace where the connection dropsipconfig /flushdnsClear the DNS cache, then reloadGoogle Maps on Mac
- Fix
- Clear the website data for Google Maps in your browser settings and disable any active content blockers. If the map still fails to render, check your Mac's network settings or restart the browser.
- Check
- Determine if Google Maps is down on macOS by testing the website in Safari and another browser like Chrome, or checking online outage reports. If the site fails to load on all browsers, it is likely a widespread outage.
ping -c 4 google.comTest whether Google Maps's servers replynslookup google.comCheck that Google Maps's DNS resolvestraceroute google.comTrace where the connection dropssudo dscacheutil -flushcache; sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponderFlush the macOS DNS cache, then reloadGoogle Maps on Android
- Fix
- Clear the Google Maps app cache and data through your Android settings, and make sure the app is updated to the latest version in the Google Play Store. Restarting your device can also resolve temporary GPS and connection glitches.
- Check
- Check if Google Maps is down on Android by confirming if the app fails to load map details while other apps connect to the internet normally. You can also check community forums or outage trackers online.
Google Maps on iPhone and iPad
- Fix
- Update the Google Maps app through the Apple App Store and verify that Location Services are enabled for the app in your iOS Settings. If it still fails, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app.
- Check
- To see if Google Maps is down on iOS, open the app and check if search functions fail or map tiles remain blank while connected to Wi-Fi or cellular data. You can also check if the web version loads on your device.
Problems at the same time as Google Maps
Since 5 October, all 7 of Google Maps's spikes in problem reports overlapped a spike at another service.
When several services get problem reports at once, something they share, such as a cloud host or a network, can be the real cause. Matching times alone do not prove it.

How we track Google Maps
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Google Maps, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Google Maps, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. This is separate from Google Maps's official status page: user reports tend to show a problem early, while the official page confirms the cause. If the two disagree, check both.
