SWharton Posted May 4, 2021 Report Share Posted May 4, 2021 Are there settings for Google Maps? For a while now, after doing a search, if you select an item from the search a giant bar appears on the bottom of the map and reduces the map by half. How to I get rid of the bar permanently. I want a map. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisguld Posted May 5, 2021 Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 I assume you're referring to using Google Maps on your phone? Are you talking about the info panel that pops up about the place you've just selected? If so, there is no setting to stop that from happening, but it is very easy to make it go away - just tap on the map portion and both the top and bottom panels slide out of the way. If that's not what you're referring to - give us some more detail. Quote Fulltime RV Travelers since 2003. Now touring the country in 37 ft Gulfstream Endura.

SWharton Posted May 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 No, on my PC. I get the map, I do a search on the left, let's say for McDonalds, several Mcdonalds appear onthe list, I select one and the bar appears across the bottom of the map with an icon for all the mcdonalds in the list. Block half the map. This is relatively new, within the last few months. Nothing gets rid of it. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2gypsies Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 I just tried Google Maps. I typed in a city which appeared as a map. I did a 'find' for Home Depot and the full map is still there with the Home Depots marked in red. I clicked on one of them and yes, I got a whole row of all the Home Depots at the bottom of the map. To get rid of the row, just click on a spot on the map that isn't marked as a Home Depot and the row disappears but all of the Home Depots are still marked with red on the full size map. Is that your issue?

SWharton Posted May 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 Yes, I couldn't get rid of the display. I tried esc, looked for an "x" etc. Never thought of a blank spot. Actually, I would like to turn the whole display off, just duplicates what is on the left. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
