Google Maps

Vendor reports Operational

Checked

Front door check counts and Google Maps’s own incident posts. Use them to investigate a dependency; neither confirms what happened in your app.

Front door checks

We have no front door checks against Google Maps in the last 30 days. That does not show whether it was reachable.

Checks 15 minutes apart cannot see disruptions shorter than that. A check that reached the front door does not show that every Google Maps product, region or your app worked.

How we count front door checks

Shorter disruptions

Our checks are 15 minutes apart, so they miss disruptions shorter than that. Datadog runs a separate outage tracker that may show disruptions our checks cannot see.

Independent outage detection for Google Maps: Datadog’s Updog(opens in a new tab)

CheckUpstream is not affiliated with Datadog.

Google Maps says

Incident posts from Google Maps’s status page, with its titles, impact levels and times. They say what Google Maps chose to post, not what reached your app.

A closed record shows when our record closed. Some older records closed when a post left the status page, without a resolution post from the vendor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Google Maps currently down?

Google Maps's latest recorded status is Operational. Check the timestamp and linked source at the top of this page. A vendor status report does not establish whether your application was affected.

When did Google Maps last have an outage?

The most recent closed incident record began 18 days ago and spans 22h 31m. The vendor reported degraded performance. Closure may reflect a disappeared post or an expired tracking period; it does not confirm vendor or application recovery. Check the dated history and source links.

Does CheckUpstream publish an uptime percentage for Google Maps?

No. CheckUpstream does not run front door checks against Google Maps. The incident history on this page is what Google Maps reported, not a measure of how often it was available.

How do I monitor Google Maps in production?

Create your account, connect GitHub or GitLab and choose a public or private repository. Review the vendor matches and your alert settings. Available notification channels and history depend on your plan.

How does CheckUpstream track Google Maps?

This record separates vendor-reported incidents from independent checks. Sources and coverage vary by vendor: review the linked source, check time and measurement scope. Neither kind of evidence establishes SLA credit eligibility.
