Hey There! I am having issues with the Geolocation tool in sketch up make 2015. When I click the geolocation tool it opens but won’t search for locations. The search button doesn’t appear, just a blank button in its place. I have tried re-installing and have the same issue. Does anyone have a solution? Help is greatly appreciated!!! ---

I am having the exact same problem right now. It was working just a while back… ---

I’m guessing this is an issue with sketchup or google map servers… hopefully the issue resolves itself but if you find a solution I’d love to hear it! ---

Anyone a Pro user that is able to contact support? I’m sure they are aware of the issue but it would add peace of mind knowing that a solution is in the works. ---

It looks like we made an update earlier today which impacted Add location. We’ve spotted the bug and pushed a fix ut it might not be visible until around 4:30 PM MST. Give it a little while and all will be right in the world again. ---

It’s a different error, because we now have alarms running on this. Check your version of (sadly - we’ll replace it someday) Flash, and upgrade to to current version. ---

> [@virendersinghrawat](#): > > Google sketch up geo location not working for me Geo-location with _Google_ SketchUp hasn’t worked for a long time. It was announced well in advance almost two years that it would be discontinued. Geo-location does work in _Trimble_ SketchUp. Make sure you have Internet Explorer up to date. ---

I found a PC with the same problem. On this one, the geolocation window wont even appear. Win10, SketchUp 2017, AMD card. Yours? ---

![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/0/0/00a2692a2d83e47872afa28ef338ef911432dcf4.jpg) I recently downloaded the sketchup 2016 version, in hopes that the ‘geo- location’ option must have been rectified. I am still facing the exact same issue as above mentioned.
