Re: problem with Google Maps

Not sure what problems you're seeing, but when I used it, it had my departure and destination points reversed. Hence, it was giving me all the gas stations and restaurants I had already passed.

Just missed my previous post.

I haven't seen your problem yet, but I'll look for it.

All apps have bugs in them somewhere it is just a shame that they are obvious.

Re: problem with Google Maps

I may have jumped the gun on this one. I've been trying this feature while stationary in my home. I'll wait till I'm traveling to test it again. Thanks for being patient.

Google maps gas stations

I finally dug into the new feature of Google Maps regarding the location of gas stations and gas prices at these stations. The location works, as do NAVIGATION. However, I've not been able to get the prices of the gas. Am I doing something wrong. I'd like to hear from you if you have had experience with this problem. Thanks.

Get the GASBUDDY App. Prices, locations, maps.

Re: Google maps gas stations

I don't use maps all that often, but when I do it's just so that I can track travel time, etc. not for routing per se.

As for the gas prices, I can only wager that you're not seeing gas prices because nobody has reported them. Maps gets a LOT of its information from WAZE, including gas prices, accidents, traffic, etc... Try an experiment and report back....

- Map a route that you normally take
- Stop on that route and report the gas prices through the WAZE app (sign in with your Google account) as often as you can
- Run Maps again the next day and I bet you that the prices will show up...

Gas Buddy has the same "problem" - if prices aren't reported by others, it just won't work.

Thanks for your advice. Somehow I feel that there's something missing in the Google Maps, gas stations, program. I don't use Waze but I do use gasbuddy. Gasbuddy shows me prices. Google Maps shows me where the gas stations are, and the ability to navigate to the gas station. And when I get to the gas station, the message is "you have arrived" . However there are no gas prices. I'm looking to communicate with someone who uses Google Maps on a daily basis, and has used this gas station feature. Something is missing or I'm not using it correctly. I still need your advice and help. Thanks.

Google Maps gas prices

A complex post on this subject was posted earlier by me. I have isolated the Google Maps gas prices problem to only the gas prices themselves. The gas stations show, the "navigate to" shows, and the gas station appears on the map. However, there is no gas prices. I have GasBuddy and all of the gas prices show on that program. I don't want to have two programs open while navigating. Does anyone know why the gas prices for gas stations do not show on Google Maps. Thanks.

Re: Google Maps gas prices

Make sure you have the most current version, 9.16.2.

Also, it seems it doesn't list prices for ALL gas stations, so you might just be in an area where none of them include that:

"Not all stations have prices listed, but it's definitely a good start. This is probably the beginning of another integration with Waze, which already offers similar price tracking."

I hear you, but GasBuddy has all the local prices. Google maps shows gas stations, but doesn't show.prices. Google maps needs to find another source. GasBuddy has them for the same stations. Thanks.

Is there anyone out there that uses Google Maps, version 9.162, that shows gas prices with the gas station name? Thanks

That link doesn't open, but if my memory hasn't failed me, the article explains how the gas station feature is supposed to work. I'm looking for a user that uses the feature regularly. I want to see if they get gas prices.

Re: Expert Google Maps users

I use it. I see gas prices. I just used it on a trip of 1900 miles. I confess, I find GasBuddy to be more reliable, with many more stations reported and up to date. We use it on two Samsung phones, the S5 and S6 Active.

Thanks. That was what I was looking for. I use GasBuddy also, but I didn't get prices with the gas stations in Google Maps. I guess it's a local problem. Your post tells me that the new feature works. Thanks again.

Re: Expert Google Maps users

FYI Gas Buddy has been known recently to have an issue with location and use a lot of battery.
