Anonymous

I am using:

Device name *******

Processor Microsoft SQ1 @ 3.0 GHz 3.00 GHz

Installed RAM 8.00 GB (7.54 GB usable)

System type 64-bit operating system, ARM-based processor

Pen and touch Pen and touch support with 10 touch points

Recently, after an update, when using Google maps, the names of the locations disappear.

Initially the maps shows all the detail

But few seconds later when everything is loaded, the town names disappear:

I thought this was a Chrome issue, thus cleared the cache etc. but this not fixed the issue.

I then tried different browsers MS Edge and Firefox. They all have the same issue.

I contacted Google and provided the above info, but they believe this is o/s issue and suggested I contact MS.

Is anyone able suggest how I can fixed this problem?

    Hello LeonGX:
    As of Sat. 6 January, 2024, Google Maps DOES WORK on my Surface Pro. I suspect it was an "update" done by MS w/o any details.

    I hope that other MS Surface Pro users get this update because it's a great little PC/Laptop.

    I-M-A, that's interesting, you said "My problem started after an update, and I am also in Europe. I am normally not based here." I'm from US, visiting Portugal now. Maybe just a coincidence, but I wonder if being on a foreign network might have anything to do with it?

    I am running:

    Edition Windows 11 Pro

    Version 22H2

    Installed on ‎19/‎04/‎2023

    OS build 22621.1992

    Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22644.1000.0

    My problem started after an update, and I am also in Europe. I am normally not based here.

    It can't be chrome issue as the problem exists in all web browsers, Edge and Firefox.

    It's either an (Google map) app issue or and O/S issue.

    I have a three Surface Pro's, two have normal Intel based O/S, they don't exhibit this issue. The Surface Pro, which is ARM based has the issue. This to me points at the O/S but I don't have enough technical knowledge.

    I don't want to roll-back, as the ARM base O/S is really problematic, I have had lots of issues with updates, to the extent I have to re-build the device from scratch.

    Also I think it's an issues when Google maps synch's with your account, i.e. the information obtained from your account is overwriting the map location details.

    Yes, it's a shame, because I really like the tablet format with win 11 and removable keyboard. Too bad not many other companies make it.

    In terms of add-ons and extensions, I installed firefox to resolve this problem. It is fresh, no add-ons, or extensions, but same problems exists.
