Does anyone know how to increase font size in Google Maps? When I do a search I can't read a thing because the font is so small.

i think we all just may need a bigger screen. say about 4.5 inches. the font can stay the same. easy fix? maybe not, but as long as it accomplishes the end result!

The font size increases when you increase the font size in the phone settings -- but it increases through all of the menus and stuff then. I don't think there is a way to just increase it in the app itself.

Thanks for this and I was able to increase the font size so I can at least read it. I haven't seen anything else effected by this yet what app or tab would be adversely effected?

not adversely affected really ... I increase text size and it will be bigger in text messaging and email and stuff, so if you don't like it bigger there, then it might be an issue. I have old eyes, so I need it bigger throughout the ROM.
