Google Maps share to Tesla problems

[njdriver]

There appears to be a problem using the Share button in iOS Google Maps. The address is indeed sent to the Tesla, but the complete address is added to the Address field line rather than parsing out the City, State, and Zip Code. This results in address not found.
I'm not sure if the problem is with Google Maps app or the Tesla app, but it has stopped working.

Some locations have been doing this for me for at least several months from Google Map in Android as well. Not all, but some.

I didn't know you could do this! I'll have to try it sometime...

I recently experienced the same issue as the OP. Not sure where the fault lies, but I sent a bug report to Google. Looks like their issue to me.

I get that too, whether Google Maps or the native iPhone Maps app. it seems to only occur when the car is asleep. If I wait until the car is actually awake (ie: when sitting in the car, which defeats the purpose of being able to send) it fills out all the fields separately. I hope they come up with a fix for this, because it really is a great feature when it’s working right.

I've never had a problem with Apple Maps. Just saying. I have become Google free.

You can share from apple maps to the tesla as well? I ask because I am thinking of also becoming google free.

A different but possibly related bug I've noticed is when using voice commands in the car to enter a destination. If I say "go to...." it searches the map for the correct terms but sometimes finds zero results. But if I say "navigate to...." it searches the map and finds proper results every time.

Yes, quite easily. I do it all of the time. You will need the Tesla app installed of course.

Of course! Thanks this makes my decision easier. So done with Android (after 11+ years and never owning an apple product)

A good friend of mine made the switch. He was an IT specialist before he retired. He went to Apple because of security concerns. He pissed and moaned for about three months after he made the switch because everything was "different" He was used to doing things certain way. Well duh.

Now he admits it is pretty nice once you get used to it. SMH

I have been in IT my whole life and yeah I love certain aspects and I am 100% bought in to the Google ecosystem. It has gone pretty far down hill. The bugs and problems make it a full time job. I am done with this garbage.

Yes, one can share from Apple Maps to Tesla, but it has the same problem of not parsing the address properly.
As mentioned by ODWms, this problem does NOT occur when sharing the address while in the Tesla, so looks like the issue only occurs when the car is asleep.

Same problem with android. It used to work. I noticed this problem beginning of June.

I find it does this if the car is asleep. If you wake the car up then share it works. Also, you can now share from the Tesla App which means the car will always be awake on share

I'm curious to what you mean about "gone pretty far down hill. The bugs and problems make it a full time job"? I have been using Android since my Nexus 1 and would say the complete opposite about Android going down hill. I carry a Pixel 7 Pro and an iPhone 14 Pro Max, have been using both os's for some time and while I appreciate ios I much prefer Android but that's a me thing. I have bugs with the iphone as much as I have or don't have depending on your perspective, my Pixel 7 Pro. You can like whatever os you want but these both are pretty mature and equally good imho.

Don't feed the trolls. This whole maps thing is not a Google or Apple issue.

Sure- here are some examples. I carry a Pixel 6 pro max and it is a steaming pile of *sugar*. It drops signal and I have to restart to get it back, it refuses to send txts and I have to restart to send or receive. Plenty of others on forums have the same issue, and Google does not care of fix. Additionally the battery life has now gone south as well with it tapped out at 8 hours of light use.
I have a Samsung tab- most laggy and unreliable thing I could use. youtube (another google property) randomly fails, will not restart and I have to restart the tab to get it back.
ALL of my NEST products that Google purchased are hot garbage- my nest doorbell (I purchased after google aquired) has peeled and yellowed and looks like crap. Anytime anyone pushes the doorbell it cuts the video feed, nice feature (started in the last year). All my Nest Hubs have started acting strange- ones in farthest away rooms respond when they should not, adjusting sensitivity makes it worse and not better. They also lose all ability to work on a bi-annual basis and I have to wipe and re-add them to the network (which takes 3 tries with google home because it fails constantly). Google wifi sucks, it does not cover like it should and requires a network reboot on a regular basis to get the speed back.
Chromecast sucks because it now needs to be turned on and does not auto-sense the HDMI port being active like it used to, it also is slow and loses connection regularly.
(I have tried other wifi and it does not help these other devices, I have totally changed out wifi with no help either).
All google devices RANDOMLY decide to forget my voice print and refuse to work for me on some days, then others they do. Google will drop services like spotify or Iheartradio on a frequent basis, making them not work correctly some days and then fine on other days.

Would you like more examples? Do you go as deep into the ecosystem with better results?

Not a troll- google blows. See my other response with actual details.

Sounds like you just bought lemon devices with the issues having nothing to do with Android itself. I have an LG V40 and it works just fine with none of the issues you mention. I previously had an LG Optimus G and it also worked fine (it's slow by modern standards now, but was on par with devices at time of release). My family also had a Moto X, which can still run but was replaced by a Moto G7 when 3G service was shut off. The Moto G7 is also very snappy for a dirt cheap entry level phone.

I also have two cheap lowest end Samsung tablets. A old Tab A 8.0 that I used for navigation in my old car and it worked fine for that purpose. It was not snappy, but about par for what you would expect for a cheap device at the time. Didn't have issues with crashes. Also got a Tab A8 in the recent few years and it's considerably snappier, and also no issues. What kind of Samsung tablet did you get?

As for Chromecast, that's entirely unrelated to Android as it runs its own OS. I personally use Amazon Fire TV devices which actually run Android and they have worked flawlessly. Even my oldest one runs very snappily, much better than the Roku device that was bundled with an internet provider. I opted not to get Chromecast because Android is far more flexible (I was able to sideload apps like Kodi onto my Fire TV devices).
