There are instances when the older version of the app won’t run on your smartphone or tablet. So check that you have the latest version. Delete your current Google Maps version, go to the Play Store and search for the app, download the most updated version, then open it and check if the error still occurs.
Fix Three: Your Android Phone Needs The Latest Google Play Software Download.
Whenever your Android gets wonky, it's good to check the basic fixes first. If your Android device's software is out of date, issues with your apps are likely to occur. Below you can find a link to the latest Android software update!
Fix Four: Your Cache Data Is Preventing The Google Maps App From Running.
To check to see if your cache data is interfering with Google Maps on your Android device, you can clear your cache by going to your device Settings > Applications, then look for Google Maps, tap on it, then select clear data.

Fix Five: There May Be An Issue With Your Androids Battery Or Current Charge.

However, if your battery life is still adequate, turn your phone or tablet off, then remove the battery, replace it, turn the device on again, open the Google Maps app, and then check to see if there are still errors.
Fix Six: Reset Your Android To Factory Settings.
PLEASE NOTE: This should be your last resort, only used after you have tried every other troubleshooting strategy to fix your device.
If this IS what you decide, make sure that you back up all of your files and apps before you do the reset. Otherwise, you will lose whatever you have purchased of downloaded onto your phone since your last back-up.
Once you have backed up your device's data, then you can proceed with the reset. To do this open your phone menu, Go to Settings > Personal > Backup & reset. You may then have to enter your PIN, password, or pattern. Then under ‘Personal data’, choose ‘Factory data reset’.
Be sure to read the information on the screen and then select ‘Reset phone’. Then you might have to enter your PIN< password, or pattern if you have a screen-lock.
After that, select ‘Erase everything’ and this will delete all data from the internal storage and reset your device to factory settings.
The final step in this process is to reboot your Android device and check to see if Google Maps is working!
