Google Maps bug won't show traffic data on Android Auto and more

Key Points:

• Google Maps has been experiencing recurring issues with its traffic data display, particularly affecting Android Auto users, where traffic indicators such as green, yellow, and red lines are not showing correctly.
• The problem first appeared in July and was temporarily fixed by Google, but it has resurfaced recently, causing frustration among users who rely on accurate traffic information for navigation.
• Some users report that uninstalling recent Google Maps updates can temporarily resolve the traffic data display issues, though no official acknowledgment or fix has been announced by Google yet.
• The traffic data problem also affects some users directly on their phones, not just those using Android Auto, indicating a broader issue within the app’s traffic data functionality.
• Despite these issues, Google continues to roll out new features for Google Maps and Android Auto, including Personal Intelligence, Immersive Navigation, and redesigned alerts to improve user experience.
