Google Maps and Google Now would not recognize that location access is on after the update. Locations works fine on Yelp and Flixster.
Does anybody else have the same issue and/or have a solution?

Hey All,
I've just installed the most recent version of Google Maps (v3.2.1) on my Touch Pro 2. However, I suspect that it may not be updating the current location to Google Latitude anymore, after Google Maps has been closed.
When you close the most recent Google Maps, you will be prompted, whether or not you wish to continue to send location updates to Google Latitude. After clicking "Yes", GMaps closes. However, in order for it to be able to send updates to Latitude, it still needs to have some kind of a background process running... there isn't though (I checked with Schap's Advanced Task Manager).
Does anyone experience the same issue? Does GMaps use some other sneaky way to update the location to Latitude without GMaps or a background process running?
Thanks for any feedback on that matter!
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'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.
I've just noticed this a few days ago. Anyone else having this problem. Going to Google accounts in settings crashes it. A bit of research had 2 work arounds..
1. Go to gallery, settings, accounts...and access it from there
2. Downgrade Google play services or Google play and settings will work. However, it'll keep bugging you to upgrade Google play services or else maps won't work (but it does)
Anyone else fixed this permanently?
TL,DR: Google Maps location sharing suddenly stopped working between two Moto G4 Plays, but they can still location share with me. What's going on?
The facts:
I have a Google account and am logged in to Google Maps. The same goes for my parents. I have a Samsung Note 5, they have Moto G4 Plays. We've all updated to the latest Android versions available (7.0 for me, 7.1.1 for them). We've all updated Maps to the latest versions possible.
We previously had location sharing working just fine, each of us could see the other 2. 2-3 weeks ago, they stopped being able to see each other, but they could see me, and I could see them. They can each successfully location share with my wife (Samsung Galaxy S7, android 8.0.0). When they try to share their locations with each other, they get a message saying that the recipient doesn't have a Google account, and that the share can only occur via an emailed link. That email option is only good for 3 days at a time.
I've tried fiddling with settings, reinstalling Maps, logging them out/in to Maps, clearing Maps' app cache, and rebooting the phones... No success.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any other ideas to try?
Thank you!
