It is only a workaround, the ticket should remain open until it is properly fixed.

I´ve got the same exact problem.

If you are using root:

  1. Force-stop Maps and delete /data/data/com.google.android.apps.maps/files/SavedClientParameters.data.cs
  2. Make /data/data/com.google.android.apps.maps/files read-only (551)

It is necessary to perfom step 2. otherwise SavedClientParameters.data.cs will be created again and cause this error again.
