    Hi guys,

    Hope you are all keeping safe.

    Due to Covid, I have hardly used my car.

    Last night, I was in my car. No matter what I tried, I could not get Google Earth to work

    When I got home, I spent 20 mins checking settings, as it kept saying privacy settings was the issue.

    All settings seem fine.

    Please help?

    I’ve had similar frustration in my S7. I’ve lost count now of how many times the privacy warning has appeared and the options aren’t very useful. Choosing from OK, Cancel and Don’t show this again (I think??) doesn’t really give you a great deal of information and the number of times I’ve had to go into settings and turn Privacy off I don’t know.

    I would check there first. Settings -> Privacy and make sure Privacy is switched off and that all the sub categories are turned on. Then, open Navigation, click on the Settings Co and select Online Maps (?) and turn that on. That normally sorts it out for me.

    I have had instances in the past though where the online maps have taken several minutes before they have appeared and this seemed to be related to the MMI’s data service not being connected or the signal being a bit rubbish.

    I hope that helps although I’m guessing you’ve probably learnt all this too.

    On a separate note, does your MMI forget any changes you’ve made? I’ve added Apple Car Play to the side bar on a number of occasions and it keeps on forgetting it. I think it’s a profile thing but I only ever have a single key with me and my phone which is configured as a key user.

    Thanks for the reply & you are 100% right.

    Went into privacy settings again today & followed the exact method I did last night, and it is now working.

    Again, it had enabled privacy.

    I think there might be a need for a software update to address this but the chances of being able to tell them what’s going on are very slim. I can’t imagine it’s only happening to us mind!
