Anyone else having problems with Google Maps? Search a destination ok, press start and it flips back to my home-screen. I've emptied the cache and cleared data, also checked for updates. Still happening.
I have Waze and Sygic, but I'd be interested in solving the Google problem....

That happens with my phone too for over a year now, I tried the same as you, emptied the cache, and I reinstalled the app, but never sorted it.

Does your phone need a software update? Android? What version?

My brother works for Google on their maps in California. Tell me what operating system etc and I’ll let him know. I know when my iPhone gets to old it has to revert to old versions of apps rather than the latest so they can get very buggy as a result.

Have you the relevent permissions allowed in the google play services app,

I have most of the permissions turned off (android) and it effects some apps but I know what is causing it at this stage,

Google wants to know toooooo much of everybodys business for my liking

I'm a non-tekkie, but I checked in my settings, my software was updated last February.
There's various numbers etc in my settings list, Is my operating system EMUI 9.1.0? The (android) phone is a Huawei P20 lite btw.

Happens to me too. It goes as far as showing a route and when I select go the app closes down.
I now use Waze.
FWIW my phone is a Huawei P20 Light too and I've also tried the various fixes recommended.

Huawei that would explain a lot. Quite a few problems since America started blocking Chinese stuff.

How very dare you Ally. Casting nasturtiums on Huawei P20s!
Both Baguette and I are obviously blessed with impeccable taste that others can only aspire to. 🙄
