Hi All,

Is anybody else having trouble with google maps getting stuck 'loading'?

We have a variety of PCs here with different O/S versions and different browsers all having the problem. The trouble-shooting guide doesn't help much, so I am suspecting a general problem.

Nothing has changed on our router, and it has worked a treat before on the PCs that now have a problem.

Anybody find it's working ok for them?

No problems here chaps, either viewing maps or planning directions.

PC or Mac? What O/S and browser are you using?

Not working here on either Firefox or Chrome. OS is Ubuntu. The map loads up but all the UI elements don't seem to be responding to the mouse.

Edit: The dedicated google maps app works on my phone though.

Works at home, doesn't work at work. No idea why. Bit of an issue when half my job is finding addresses or post codes.

I've sent an e-mail to Google... to be added to the millions they have probably already received...

For those of us who use the Google Maps API, there is a mailing list you're probably signed up too.

Google have been recently making some changes to the Maps API and have had to reverse some changes when users were reporting issues.

So it's very likely one of these changes is causing an issue or they are reversing changes again.

There has definitely been some problems with maps over the past month.
