Hello Adam6352a,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
We want to help get the Google Maps app working normally for you again.
Try these steps first to resolve an app related issue:
"If an app on your iPhone or iPad doesn't work as expected, try this.
- Close and reopen the app
Force the app to close. Then open the app to see if it works as expected.
2. Restart your device
Restart your iPhone or restart your iPad. Then open the app to see if it works as expected.
3. Check for updates
To see if updates are available for the app, open the App Store, tap your profile icon, then scroll down to see if updates are available. If updates aren't available for the app, update the software on your iPhone or iPad.
4. Delete the app, then redownload it
Delete the app. When you do this, you might lose data that was stored in the app. Then redownload the app. Then check to see if the problem with the app is fixed."
Even though the title of this Apple Support page doesn't exactly match the issue you've explained, it still has the best steps to take for: If an app on your iPhone or iPad stops responding, closes unexpectedly, or won’t open - Apple Support
We hope this helps to correct the issue and get the Google Maps app working perfectly for you.
Please let us know if you have further questions.
Cheers!
