Google Maps, the map software relied on by the general public, suddenly "crashed" at nearly midnight yesterday (18th), failing to download map details and use the search function. It is reported that all parts of the world are affected.
The reporter actually measured at about 1:40 in the morning today, and the system generally returned to normal.
According to Down Detector, the fault occurred at about 11 pm Hong Kong time yesterday (18th), affecting users around the world.
The web version of Google Maps downloads the map very slowly, and displays "Sorry, the system has failed, please reload the page." When zooming in on the map, there is a large area of shadows on the page.
The search function also does not work.
The desktop version of Google Maps cannot download map details.
Google Maps for Android and iOS also had a similar problem, with the app showing users "Failed to connect to the Internet."
The map can only display terrain, no text.
Until today (19th) at 1:20 a.m., the reporter actually measured that users can use the system's positioning function, which can gradually display map details, but the speed is very slow, and the search function has not been restored.
In addition to Google Maps, the popular map software in Hong Kong, there are also AutoNavi and Baidu Maps. In addition, it is late at night, so I believe not many citizens will be affected.
However, people in Western countries that rely more on Google Maps reacted more strongly, with some netizens calling out that "life is over" when they found that Google Maps was dead.
