Help maps not listed in "my maps" on my droid bionic

[paulneworleans]

I have a Droid Bionic running Google Maps 6.3.0. Using my PC, I created several "My Maps" on Google Maps. I log on to the same Google account from my Droid and start the maps app. I tap the layers icon and it brings up a bunch of layers including "My Maps". when I select it, it says "No My Maps Found".

Am I missing something? It should be just that easy right?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I've never done anything special. Did you give them a name when you created them, and saved them? Try clearing the cache for the Maps app.

Yeah, I did name them and I did try clearing the cache. If I go through the browser to the maps I can see them, but that's it. It really doesn't make sense. For my next trick, I'm gonna uninstall all the updates and try again.

Okay, tried uninstalling updates. That brought me back to version 6.0.0. No luck! I've researched this to death with no answers. I can't even find anyone else who has this issue. Bummer! I'd like to use it to find my fishing holes when I'm out on the boat! Guess I'll have to rely on my memory.

Problem solved!!

I have two google accounts on my phone. One corporate and one personal. I set the phone up originally with the corporate address. But Android OS, in its infinite wisdom, will not let you just have a corporate account (used to sync contacts with Outlook). It makes you use a personal account for all the other ties to the internet. Even though I logged in to my browser with the personal account, Google maps remained logged in with the corporate account and does not have an option to change accounts.

Solution:
I exported the "my maps" map from the personal account and imported it into the corporate account. Now I can view those maps perfectly!

What a pain! Google Maps App should provide an option to log into whatever account I want!!

Hope this helps someone else out!
