I can't use GPS on Google Maps. When I click on the gps lock on button, it says "Please enable Google apps location access" even though I turned on location services and checked both the check boxes. Anyone have a fix to it?

Reload the rom? Does the GPS work in other apps like Waze?
This happened to me with my Nexus 7 - Google Maps would only work with a data connection (WiFi) available. I tried everything - clearing data & cache, uninstaling and reinstalling updates, all to no effect. All other GPS-related apps worked fine. I ended up doing a factory reset and that fixed it.
FIXED
Fixed by turning on location services by going into Google Now settings and enabling location services...

I have a very strange problem with my Atrix.
When I upgraded to 5.3.0 Maps I was able to use the check in feature...Then it mysteriously disappeared from Google Maps. I was able to get it back by re-installing and updating google maps again...and then it disappeared again in about a week. Short of downloading and reinstalling Google maps every 7 days I want to find out if this is a problem on my phone, or someone else has noticed similar behavior.
--Edit--
One thing I just tried was going into Application Manager and clearing all the data (Then having to re-log in)...This brought check-in options back.
did it again
This morning my check-in ability is gone...Even clearing the data, rebooting the phone and reinstalling the applicaton updates did not fix it this time.
Google Maps on my stock LG Nexus 4 has stopped recording my Location History, any ideas why?
May be an obvious question, but did you make sure it was still enabled? Also, did you check Latitude on the web here: www.google.com/latitude and see if it has any location history stored there.

If you go into Maps, then settings, then location settings, is "Enable Location History" and "Report from this Device" checked?
The same problem here. It used to work when I bought the phone, but stopped after a few days. Now my location history is empty. I have "report from this device" and "enable location history" checked. This isn't a new problem, it has been reported a few times before. It was either due to a bug in Google Maps (later fixed), or after an OTA update. In the latter case it needed clearing Google Maps cache and data. I did this, but it didn't help.
Any ideas?
Hi All,
I have a problem with network location not working. It works the first time I open Maps after a reboot, but if I switch apps and then go back to Maps it won't work. Other apps (such as the internet app) also don't detect location after this happens. All I've done is rooted and frozen some apps, none related to network location. Same issue if i uninstall Maps (which reverts it back to an older version, doesn't actually uninstall).

unfreeze all frozen apps and try again to see if it is a frozen app.

Just unfroze every app and tried again, still no luck :S works first time after reboot, then fails next time I enter maps (your location is temporarily unavailable)
is there some option I'm missing? I've checked network location in location settings and in the google account settings I've enabled using location.
Same thing for me, on a Galaxy S 3 LTE (GT-I9305).
It happens randomly about 1-3 days after I reboot. From then, network location is frozen on the last known location until I reboot again.
I used the app Network Info II to test.
My maps crashes any time I select "home" or "work" from "My Places". All the starred places work fine.
I have tried clearing cache, deleting and reentering home location, uninstalling updates, but nothing works.
Anyone else see this, have any ideas?
Thanks

Same here. Must be something to do with the fact that Google pulled off the update for a reason. I am getting crashes if I initiate another navigation while one is on and also navigation gets lost on screen if screen off or switched to other app
I'm running OCT-M 6.0.1. Every time google apps try to access location services, I get play services crashing. This does not happen with non-google apps such as waze or GPS Test.
I've tried reinstalling play services to the latest, reinstalled google maps, and cleared data for services and framework (backed up beforehand of course).
Does anyone know what could be causing this? I'm unsure where to find a crash log.
Just in case anyone's curious, I managed to figure it out myself. Disabling and re-enabling play services through privacy guard (OCT-M is based on CM13) fixed it. GPS now works and I no longer get any play service crashes.
