In the past week or so, I’ve noticed my google maps integration isn’t updating the latest locations. My family all share their location with and I extract the cookies from my login session to maps (this has worked just for about a year since I set it up)
If I gather a new set of cookies and restart, the location gets update but people remain at those locations. Occasionally, but not always, after restart I get ‘The cookie file provided does not provide a valid session’ (Which then requires me get a new set of cookies, restart etc)
What did you do? I am facing the same issue and no matter what I try I get maps to work for short period of time, but then either location gets stuck or after a restart again no more google maps integration and I get an error that Cookie is not valid. I tried Chrome, FireFox and reset all cache in both. works for short period of time, but then gone.
In case you’re still interested in using Google Maps, I have a custom version that addresses many of the shortcomings in the current built-in integration. I also provide detailed instructions for obtaining a cookies file. You can find more information about it at:
