You can try to clear google maps cache in android settings.

Same issue after clearing the cache. One thing I didn’t note at first is that I use Google Maps without being logged in to an account. Is this your case as well?

No I’m not connected to google on my XA2.

Are all Google Play services installed? Or, alternatively, microG?

No and I thought they weren’t required for Google Maps (but perhaps this changed?).
Plus, I expected I would have seen an error saying so in logcat.

@phklrz Did you have them installed when you did your test?

Google Play: no
microG: yes

I just installed microG and that doesn’t help.
