Google Maps
I cannot load Google Maps on my MacBook pro safari browser. WHY?

In short: Pls. give http://maps.google.com/?force=canvas a try.
In detail:
Hm..., I myself experienced the issue today for the first time.
I then updated Safari to 13.0.4 without applying Security Update 2019-007 10.13.6 (as there are frightful reports about upgrade failures).
The problem still persists.
So the problem might be caused by some recent changes within Google Maps itself.
There have been similar reports years ago...
Google Maps recommends using 2D mode when experiencing problems with (now default) 3D mode on one of its Maps help pages at https://support.google.com/maps/answer/3031966?hl=en
2D Mode: This Google Maps version may work better on older or lower performance computers. It doesn’t have 3D images or WebGL, and it uses simple zooming and transitions. Open Maps in 2D Mode.
And yes: A bit dull, but working like a charm :-)
I'm having the exact same issue as everyone else. Google maps just doesn't work at all with Safari anymore - but works with Firefox. I get this message when attempting to visit Google maps using Safari:
A problem repeatedly occurred with
It's been this way for, maybe a week or two, maybe longer. It's been a while.
I hope someone fixes this.
Well same problem here for about 3-4 days... google maps fails to load on Safari. I have changed nothing at all in any settings, not upgraded or switched to anything new. I don't think I even did safari update recently either...... or can't remember doing so. Just suddenly it decided not to work on safari. works on firefox and chrome.
I'm running MacPro 2012 on Sierra 10.12.6 with Safari version 12.1.2.
This is a bummer....... :-(
@silver_mica
Google maps on Safari started working for me today. I'm glad it's back!
Yea!
Can you please tell us:
(1) what version of Safari you are using
(2) What version of the Mac OS you are using
(3) Are you able to use Google Maps in 3D imagery mode?
That information will be helpful to hundreds of users ; )
Thank you.
Hi silver_mica,
Thanks for the screenshot... I'm still tying to work this out -- I'm at a disadvantage as I only have access to Mac OS 10.15.2 and 10.11.6 ... not the versions from 10.12 to 10.15, which are the versions affected by the bug with Safari 13.0.4, so I can't test it myself.
In an earlier post you wrote,
Google maps on Safari started working for me today.
Could you describe that a little more? ... what didn't work before today... and what did work today?
Thanks for your time and assist with this!
@Apple Picker - Yesterday (and weeks before), when I'd attempt to visit maps.google.com I'd only get a message stating:
A problem repeatedly occurred with
And nothing else.
@roberts735
In an earlier post Silver-Mica said s/he was using Safari 13.0.4 with macOS: High Sierra 10.13.6
AFAIK there isn't a Google Maps version number available for the bowser on OS.
FWIW, from other sources I now have multiple confirmations that Safari 13.0.4 with macOS: High Sierra 10.13.6 works, fully functionally (3D), as well as Safari 12.1.2 with OS 10.12.6.
I have had the same problem since yesterday,
I have the same issue. Google Map loads on Chrome but not on Safari. Cleared cache, browsing history, updated Safari. No changes: A problem repeatedly occurred with "https://www.google.com/maps"
Same problem here on macOs 10.13.6 with latest security updates and Safari 13.04.
Google Maps works fine on Chrome and Firefox, but throws the above mentioned error in Safari.
Yes, this also happened to me yesterday, and continues today. Safari only. OK with Firefox.
I have the same problem too after update Safari to 13.0.4
I have also the same problem using Safari 13.0.4. No problem at all with Firefox.
It has suddenly stopped to work .
What's interesting is that it loads for me on Safari 13.04. I'm not sure what the issue would be that would cause others not able to load google maps.
Thought I'd share.
Thank You for your help. I still have to wait for Account Edge accounting package to work with upgrade before I try to repair it again. Have a great holiday!
Same problem running 13.0.4.
