Description

### What Happened?

Searching in the Maps app doesn't work properly. As you can see in the screenshot, I've entered "München" as well as the English name (Munich) and it shows me 5 results but they are all labeled "Unknown, Unknown, Unknown".

When I opened it for the first time I had sharing my location disabled in the settings (in case that is relevant). My locale is German (I've seen another report mentioning the Polish locale so I'm adding this in case it's relevant).

I don't know if showing the earth a dozen times as a tiled background image is intentional or a bug, but this is what the app showed me when I opened it and my first impression was "something's broken".

Is there a log file I can look at and maybe submit for debugging purposes?

### Steps to Reproduce

1. open maps
2. enter "München" or "Munich" into the search bar

### Expected Behavior

receive search results that mention the city, state and country like OpenStreeMap normally does.

### OS Version

### Session Type

### Software Version

### Log Output

```shell

```
