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 used the following link and it appears maps is working now:

Macbook Pro MacOS High Sierra 10.13.6 Safari 13.0.4 13608.4.9.1.4
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.
This is what I see
Hi brendafromhurst,
What happens when you try to load Google Maps, does the page not load for you?
Have you tried loading it in a different web browser such as Firefox for example.
I hope this helps.
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 for me as of today
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 .
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.
I was experiencing this problem as well over the last couple days. Fixed with the suggestion above, thank you!
OSX 10.12.6 and Safari 12.12
