Is Maps Local Scout functionality dead?

[echan]

Trying to use Local Scout lately just gives an error message We couldn?t find any places nearby in this category. Tap to try again"

for eat+drink, see+do and shop categories.

This seems to be the case on both my Lumia 635 and Lumia 640.

Anyone else having this problem?

It's down for me as well right now (SW Missouri).

Places in Here is working...
