Ask HN: Anyone else unable to access photos and street view on Google Maps?

Posted by EvanDotPro on Sunday October 16, 2022 @07:57PM
from the ask-hn dept.

I cannot seem to get Google Maps street view or photos of places loading on any of my devices right now. I've tried multiple connections, with and without ad blockers, incognito, browser and Android app. A friend in another state says she's having the same issue.

Curious if anyone else is seeing the same issue?

Same here.

Looks like someone at Google is having a very intense Sunday evening (or Monday morning)

Street view is not working in India: a pop-up says "Cannot reach server."

Google Maps on IOS.

I'm having the same issue. I thought they maybe removed the feature on Google Maps app for Android, so I sent feedback via the app.

Located in USA, using a USA VPN endpoint, trying to look at USA places.

Pictures do show up in reviews, but there is no button to see all of the pictures.

Same on Chesapeake Bay just now, "Cannot reach server."

Since Street View is so popular, maybe Google discontinued it.[1] Is GMail still working? Probably won't last.

Same thing here. Can't get street view from the Earth application either.

Can't drag the little guy onto a street -- just bounces back.

If you check the network tab, it makes a request when you let the little guy go and when the request fails with status 500 it bounces back.
