It looks like there is an unconfirmed Google Maps outage on Android devices. A few users from AndroidForums.com have reported that they are getting the error “Data connection lost, retrying…” when they open Google Maps. Whether this is just a problem for users who downloaded the updated app yesterday or not remains unknown. I will post more info as it become available.

UPDATE: Things look to be back up. I’m looking for any official word from Google.
