Google Maps Reloading Images even after completed

Hi, my Maps on iPad 64GB #G + Wifi is acting strange. It keeps reloading images from maps even after it has been loaded infinitely.

I've made a video of what's happening.

Having the EXACT SAME PROBLEM here. Appears this is a widespread problem but difficult to find any information on. Seems this may have to do with Google's latest api implementation relaease and a conflict with Safari.

Another issue that I have had and looking through Google and Apple forums seems to be other are having this also is, in ability to zoom in or out after a map does maage to load. First the flicker problem now seems to be EVERY TIME i go into maps. It was or seemed to be an intermittent problem but no longer. When I was able to load a page I often could not ZOOM IN or OUT. I thought this had to do with my connection but have read other have the same issue and it was when connected to a perfect 3G or WiFi signal.

My info is as such;
1. Ipad 64gb w/3G
2. This Ipad is not Jailbroken
3. Running 4.2.1
4. Problem occurs when connected via WiFi and 3G
5. No other apps running in background (or at least not initiated by me. I have not tried turning off push notifications).

Here are some links I have found related to what seems to be this issue.

I have been having this problem for ~2 weeks on my Verizon Iphone4. The first week Maps worked great. Then it started having the continuous refresh problem. My wife's iphone started having the problem at same time. I also have another friend who bought a VZW iPhone and he has the same issue. Sometimes the refresh problem doesn't happen. Sometimes it is sporadic. Sometimes it is literally continuous for minutes at a time. When the last case happens Maps is completely unusable.
