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 :-)
Going to https://www.google.com/maps/?force=canvas solved the problem. Once that map came up, then Google Maps started functioning again on Safari (and I didn't need that link anymore). Thanks!
I am having the same trouble, and agree that the 2D option is a work around. But I wanted to point out that I have not done any Apple upgrade in the past week.
See Apple Picker's response and my reply. His fix worked for me.
@Apple Picker, thanks for posting this that Google is aware of the issue too.
I loaded 2D, but can't get 3D. hopefully the problem will be ironed out soon
Mac OS High Sierra - Ver 10.13.6 / Safari Version 13.0.1 (13608.2.11.1.10) Cannot update because my Accounting Pkg will no work if I do. Waiting to hear from Accounting Pgm.
Same issue here. Chrome works but not on Safari. waiting for a fix..
Works here.
Safari 13.0.4
Was High Sierra 10.13.6
using older G Map version 2 something, no 3-d
Google maps on Safari started working for me today. I'm glad it's back!
Safari: 13.0.4
macOS: High Sierra 10.13.6
I never heard of Google Maps in 3D imagery mode (unless you mean Street View - which is working)
@silver_mica,
Thank you -- your report triggered further testing resulting in a confirmation that this bug has been fixed.
Looks like silver_mica is right. Must have been a google doing!
Silver-Mica... great news, thanks... please tell us the OS you are running and the version of G-maps ... if you can find it.
Yay its working again, so its not my MacBook, cause I didn't do anything but it certainly worked today.
