Windows 10: Windows Maps app freezes while redirecting

When trying to do a turn by turn navigation in Windows maps and the driver missed a turn, the maps app starts to show "Redirecting". But it freezes at that point and would not redirect. Leaving it like that for a while will crash the maps application. Driver will have to restart the tablet in order to run the maps app again.


This could be intermittent but it's very easy to duplicate. From where I am, I only get a redirecting message twice or thrice before I duplicate the problem. To duplicate this problem, the user needs to use the maps application to do a turn by turn navigation and actually drive and miss a turn. Missing a turn should allow maps app to redirect. It will be difficult to reproduce the issue when the user is not actually driving.

Windows Maps App.

Hi, Peter

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community, I understand your concern and will try to assit you in the best way we can.

Have you tried restarting your system and check if you are able to find the app in your computer. If not then I would suggest that you do so and check if you are able to locate the app.

I would also suggest that you go to your c: drive locate Program Files open WindowsApps and check if the app is present there.

If you still cant find the app in your system then follow the steps mentioned below to remove and re-install Maps.

• On the search bar, type “Powershell” right click on it and select Run as Administrator.
• Copy and paste the command stated below

get-appxpackage *Microsoft.WindowsMaps* |remove-appxpackage

• This will remove Maps from your system, you can install the app again from Store. But it will required to close Windows Store (if opened) to reinstall Maps.

Hope this information helps

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand your concern regarding the issue that you are facing.

From what you have mentioned, I would suggest you to try these steps to see if it resolves the issue.

Method 1: Hardware Troubleshoot

Windows 10 has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with hardware and devices. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if the issue is with your touch pad.

Refer these steps:

• Press Windows key +X, select
  Control panel

• 
  Change the view by option on the top right to
  Large icons
  
• 
  Click on troubleshooting and click on the
  view all option on the left panel
  
• 
  Run the Windows Store apps troubleshooter
  
  Refer the link below.
  
  Note: Please don’t run app troubleshooter in the link. This applies to windows 10 also.

windows maps

Hi, if you're referring to the UWP Maps app that comes with Windows, then please realise these apps use a new programming model that does not use exe's and dll's.

To launch the Maps app you have these URI's:

bingmaps:
ms-drive-to:
ms-walk-to:

(See
Settings Pages List of URI Shortcuts in Windows 10
)

For example, an Autohotkey line that launches the app is:

run, bingmaps:
