- Google Maps chronologies disappear for some users
- It seems to be a Google One problem, but there is no known correction
- Fortunately, not everyone is affected, but it is frustrating for those who are
Google Maps’ deadlines are disappearing, not only is there no guaranteed correction for the problem at the moment, but it is not clear if it is a permanent withdrawal or only a temporary problem.
At first glance, the reports on the deadlines of lost people seem to have come across Google Map’s great confidentiality change: your Google Maps chronology passes from cloud to your device, and unless you accept various new parameters on the deadline (which is different for different users, strangely), you will lose your travel history.
However, according to reports from The Google Maps Subredit (identified by 9TO5GOOGLE), this is an unrelated problem because this affects people who have agreed to save their calendar locally. In addition, they are unable to restore old backups (even if they delete and reinstall the MAPS application), and some note that new visits are not followed either.
Some users have published by saying that Google Support blame the problem on Google One, and that Google works on a fix, however, at the time of writing, there does not seem to be a reliable method to recover your chronology.
There was a time when the restoration of a backup seemed to work, however, the problem lasted so long that the backups are now crushed – or simply cannot be restored – which means that this option is no longer available.
Why is it so important?
Fortunately, the problem does not seem to have an impact on everyone – the chronology of Google Maps on our devices seems to be good, for example – but it is nevertheless frustrating.
Although Google’s Google follow -up is less than Ideal for many, having a chronology of their travel story is a dream come true for many others. It serves as a useful tool for remembering the holidays or finding a location in which you want to come back later – like a coffee you have stopped during the day, or a museum in which you did not spend enough time during your last trip.
I love to look back in my chronology and I would be disappointed if my travel story was torn to me by a problem – especially because at the moment, there is no word at the time when user deadlines will be restored.
According to the sounds of things, it should be a problem that Google can solve, but, for the moment, all the persons concerned will have to wait and see when a fix will be sent.
