MODIFICATIONS:

Aurora Store and Google Maps installed from Aurora Store.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

I use Google Maps without being logged in to an account. logcat doesn’t show anything meaningful.

2

I have just installed google maps from aurora store on my XA2 plus SFOS 4.5.0.24 and it works correctly.
You can try to clear google maps cache in android settings.

3

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?

4

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

5

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

6

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?

7

Google Play: no
microG: yes

8

I just installed microG and that doesn’t help.

9

i have the same problem. Stopped working after installing microg. Only empty rectangels no maps and sometimes a little text. What helped in your case?

10

I’m afraid I never found a solution. I switched to Android partly for this reason.

For reference: I got it working. Had to go thru the process to “Grant Signature Spoofing” as described in this post: Installing microG on Sailfish OS
