Thanks everyone, and a special thanks to DiZoE. I tried everything here, including a full erase and reconstruction from scratch. Did not work. Until I tried this" "de-selecting “Maps” from System Preferences > Apple ID > iCloud > iCloud Drive > Options". That made Maps work instantly. Still not sure why but I will try different things here, but in the meantime, it works! Thank you!

That’s right, you’d have to reinstall the entire OS, or wait for the next OS release:

Why do you need to reinstall Maps? There maybe another solution. Happy to help if I can, cheers.
Thank you. I tried all of the above with no joy. Here is the thread for it: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252565672?r_s_legacy=true
Maps just hangs and I have to Force Quit it. I tried re-installing the whole system (Big Sur 11.2.3) with no better results.
First, there is no reason to ever install or run any 3rd party "cleaning", "optimizing", "speed-up", anti-virus, VPN or security apps on your Mac.

That being said uninstall MacScan and TotalAV according to the developer's instructions.
You can check to see if you've removed all of the supporting files by downloading and running the shareware akpp Find Any File to search for any files with the application's or the developer's name in the file name. For the mentioned software you'd do the following search(es):
1 - Name contains macscan
2 - Name contains securemac
3 - Name contains total
Any files that are found can be dragged from the search results window to the Desktop or Trash bin in the Dock for deletion.
FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't like invisible folders, system folders and packages.
Also you've got 15 GB of swap files for memory. Rebooting frequjently, with awn SSD drive it doesn't take any time at all, will help with the memory and general overall performance.
Your Zoom app is crashing. Make sure you have the latest version - one was just released yesterday or today.
Have you installed or run any "cleaning", "optimizing", "speed-up" or anti-virus apps on your Mac?
Download and run Etrecheck. Etrecheck is a diagnostic tool that was developed by one of the most respected users here in the ASC and recommended by Apple Support to provide a snapshot of the system and help identify the more obvious culprits that can adversely affect a Mac's performance.
IMPORTANT:
Before running Etrecheck assign Full Disk Access to Etrecheck in the Etrecheck's Privacy preference pane so that it can get additional information from the Console and log files for the report:
Also click and read the About info to further permit full disk access.
Copy the report
and use the Additional Text button to include the report in your reply.
Then we can examine the report and see if we can determine what might be causing the problem.
It would be the same for any other system installed app. If you don’t start from scratch, not an entire OS is installed - only if the entire thing is installed which will only happen when you start from scratch. Sorry, but that is how it works.
Out of curiosity: how did Maps disappear?
Hey again!
Can you say if there’s a difference de-selecting “Maps” from System Preferences > Apple ID > iCloud > iCloud Drive > Options? (If it’s in fact enabled)?
Although this is a widely known/used developer, I’ve known Global Protect software to cause problems related to internet connectivity, although as the issue happens with no internet connected, maybe unrelated in your case.
One place I’ve checked for similar problems, just as a test is System Preferences > Security and Privacy > Privacy > Accessibility.
Unlock, de-select, or even remove any enabled third party apps > Restart and test.
Also a good place to look is the login items:
System Preferences > Users and Groups > Login Items. Take a screen shot, then remove them all by pressing the “-“ Restart > Test.
Those are just hunches, that report you posted may reveal more info, but as far as the basics:
I know from your other post, the same happens in safe boot, which may exclude user installed software, or indicate file system damage.
Does the same happen in a new user/admin account? This may be revealing, as if it works fine in another user, then Reinstalling the OS will do no good, in fact, it would most likely indicate an issue with your user profile, possibly:
Permissions
An issue with files in your user library, (Cache/Internet Plugins)
Or apps you are having launch upon login, (Those Login Items), etc.
Thanks for this! Here is the Ertre†heckPro Report

Where did the app go?
It is part of the macOS install, so you cannot install it separately. The only way would be to erase your drive and reinstall the entire OS.
Did you erase your entire drive before reinstalling the OS? Erase the disk in recovery mode, then download the entire OS and start over. Please make sure you have a backup first.
I did not. That's quite the undertaking just for Maps... I was hoping there was another way
Hey again! So maps is there, but it hangs when opened, I’d that right?
Can you disable the internet and/or Location Services and then test?
Tried that and it still hangs...
Hey again! Interesting, glad it worked out! Happy to help!
