Everytime I hit search in Google Maps, a long list of previous searches appears.
Anyone know how to prevent this?
I've checked settings and couldn't find anything.
Not only to prevent it but couldn't delete any search entry's.

Does deleting maps app data from settings>apps do it?

I'd like to know this as well. I don't even know where its pulling it from, I'm seeing things I don't think I've ever searched for (but maybe I have).
I've tried clearing cache and clearing search history...no go...
edit: Okay, so I cleared web search history by going to maps.google.com on a desktop and clearing that history and turning off Web Search History permanently.
However, it still pops up a number of searches, which turns out are Personalized recommendations (creepy). And unfortunately, it doesn't appear there is any way to turn that off on the phone (you can turn it off on the browser by adding &pws=0 to the query string parameters).
I've had a few customers come in before on other droids asking how to do this. Going into manage apps and clearing data for maps or navigation usually did it

That's still an inconvenient way. There should be an option to disable that

I am wondering how to overcome this too.

Seeing how latitude is part of the maps app, you could try to uninstall updates on the maps app and then update it through the market. You can also just try clearing data on your maps app. That may or may not fix it. I wouldn't try to uninstall maps or related services directly, as they are pretty tied into the phone. You are better off just restoring the whole phone if the other two options I gave don't work (but they should)
I think when I tried to uninstall Latitude, the Maps app went away. So I reinstalled Maps (and Latitude came back as well). I just ignore Latitude.

Personally, my pet peeve with Latitude is that if you accidentally set it as a default launcher, you can't undo that. I've tried going through App Management (clear defaults), tried "ClearDefault" app on the market, nothing works ...
I'm about to try uninstalling it with Titanium and hoping that reinstalling Maps will set everything back to the way it was so I can select the right laucher when I try to view someone's address directly from the People App.
Has anyone else had problems clearing the default data for Latitude/Locations?
Is anyone else running Chrome Beta? For some reason when I go to settings the app crashes.

Yeah, that was happening to me too. Clear the Data from Settings->App-Google Chrome Beta
On your PC go to your Google Dashboard and
In the Chrome Sync section, Stop Sync and Delete Data from Google
Following the instructions at
http://support.google.com/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1181035&topic=1693469&ctx=topic
to disable encryption and then re-enable encryption using either your Google password or a new paraphrase.
I'm pretty sure that those were the steps I took to get rid of the FC but I can't remember totally as I was really sleepy. Either way, I'm not getting that issue any more.
I tried this a few times without success. I was able to access settings immediately after signing in with the link at the bottom of the screen, but couldn't get to the settings through the menu

Same here...I just use either Maxthon Browser or Dolphin HD browser....they are both good...hopefully the Chrome will be ready soon.
I never got it to work. I even tried deleting my app data and going to settings without logging in and it locks up.
Just wondering if anybody can tell me how to clear the most recent searches in Maps. I have wiped data, and cache for Maps. I have deleted my web and search history both from the phone and on the computer. I have also cleared all the local search cache from the accounts menu. If I go to My Places it shows no recent searches.
However when I do a search in Maps it still shows me the last ten things I have searched for. Any ideas would be helpfull.
Edit: If I switch to a different google account in the map settings the latest searches go away. If I switch back to the main account they come right back.
TIA

Ok I know to clear data from an app such as Google maps it should be Settings > Apps > Maps > Clear data but this just doesn't clear my Google maps search history.
It's very annoying I have 6 searched places in my search that I just can't get rid of. I have even re-flashed fresh my ROM being Android Revolution HD and the search history from previous is still there.
Has anyone come across this or know of a solution?
Log in to google maps on your computer with the same account on your phone.
Click on my places and it should come up with a list of where you searched. Click on the little arrow next to the place and then hit delete.
Once your done go into settings and sync your google account on your phone and it will get rid of the places.
Hope it helps

Hi thanks but I logged into my Google maps from the same account from a desktop and none of the places in my Google maps search history were showing. All the same I deleted my history from Google maps from my desktop and synchronized but the history is still showing on my HTC One X.
I now have disabled Google search from my desktop and synchronized again and still the same history is showing on my HTC One X.
Its as if the search history is permanent on my HTC One X.
Would there be any specific file on my HTC One X that I could possibly delete with say root explorer where it could be remembering maps search history from???

It worked for me. I dont use google desktop.
The only other thing i can suggest is that you download history eraser and try to clear it that way.

I just tried with history eraser even that didn't work hmmm.
Something I notice is when logged into Google maps on a desktop in the search bar I can see these searches when clicking on the grey arrow on the right but going into delete history and clearing all doesn't get rid of them maybe this is a Google bug? I have also cleaned my desktop browser's with Ccleaner but these searches are still there in Google maps.
Edit: Just further to say I have tried Chrome in Incognito mode and the searches still appear so this can't be a browser cache or cookies issue. Really not sure how to resolve this....

Sorry im out of ideas. Maybe contact google if they can help.
It was Google - after clearing history from desktop it appears to take time before everything is erased even after syncing from phone.
Now those pesky searches that I couldn't get rid of have magically disappeared
Nice one
I have a problem about 2-3 days now. The Google Serch (Voice) shows only web results and it cannot call phones or show the fancy results. Some examples:
1. Call Brother - Search in the web for "call brother" and not calling brother from my phonebook :silly:
2. Whats the Weather in Athens - Search in the web "Whats the Weather in Athens" and not showing the weather
I have clearing data, uninstalling the app and re-installing but nothing happend. :crying:
(Trinity-Vengeance ROM 4.0)
This is an issue most people are facing right now. I believe Google will release a fix for this soon (that's what I heard) it has something to do with the mandatory enabling of location settings for voice. I'm sure they'll figure it out soon, till then there's not much of a solution. You can try running your networks using a VPN, should work logically but not sure how it will stand practically
