Google Maps app crashes on open for iPad I'm traveling now and relying heavily on Google Maps on my iPad. with no warning, the app now crashes instantly when I click on it. no warning at all. I tap the icon, the default screen comes up, a second later the app closes.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? More imporrtantly, has anyone found a solution?

I tried restarting my iPad, as well as a hard reset. I do not have my laptop so I cannot sync. Since the app is one of the few default apps, I cannot delete and re-download it. I'm really at a loss here, so any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Deleting a downloaded app does two things:


Jettisons the data (like a reset for that app)
Allows for a clean copy of the app to be downloaded again


You could restore the entire device and test maps before restring your backup or you could back it up and erase all content and settings and then test.

Flip a coin if one of those two options does not seem better to you and feel free to ask a follow on question if you find some more details to add to the question and don't want to edit them into the existing question.
