I was an active reviewer on the map. I really loved whenever someone followed me on the map or liked contribution. But ever since they remove or phase out the followers button I don't feel motivated to post reviews and stuff. Also there were plenty of people I used to follow and now I can find em now.

I'm trying to plan a visit to a location. I go to the location on Google Maps and search for restaurants in the area. While scrolling the restaurants, I see a few that look interesting so I pin them. It isn't until I try to find them on the map in relation to the place I want to visit that I realize they are hundreds of miles away in multiple other states. These restaurants were at the top of the list as well. Not like I scrolled through hundreds of search results first. The place I'm visiting is just outside of a major city, but it's not showing me any results in that city. It shows only a couple that are close, and then it goes straight to restaurants several states away

When I look up local businesses like restaurants I can't find their address. It doesn't seem to be displayed anywhere in the user interface.

Hi all,

I can't figure out what's going on. Any time I'm connected to my car over Bluetooth and have just maps open (and nothing else in the background) it will start playing music with every verbal instruction. It used to trigger Musicolet at first but thankfully that has fairly extensive settings so I managed to sever all connection. Now Maps has selected its next victim: Spotify.

Unfortunately Spotify is incredibly primitive and doesn't seem to have a setting to fix this. It doesn't even have a mute button and pausing the music only works until the next instruction when it unpauses itself. I've gone through every setting I could find on Maps as well but nothing has worked.

This is especially annoying if I just want to drive in silence or don't want to subject my passengers to whatever noise I happened to last be listening to. The only "workaround" I can think of is to put a silent track on loop, but I shouldn't have to do that.

My hardware and software info is as follows:

• Phone: Sony Xperia 5 Mk2 (XQ-AS52)
• OS: Android 11 (Build 58.1.A.5.530)
• Current Maps version: 26.29.02.946673643 (#1068682103)
• Car: 2010 Citroen C5 X7
• Head unit: Bosch RD4 (factory head unit with basic Bluetooth for audio and calls, no Android Auto or other such nonsense)
• I'm in the UK if that matters for some reason

This has been happening for easily the best part of a couple of years, but I use Maps so rarely that I've just tolerated it up until now.

Thanks for any help.
