Google Maps not working.

When I try to open Google Maps on Safari on my MacBook Pro,


It comes up with 'Safari Web Content Quit unexpectedly'.


It then flashes three or four times, then closes.


Any help to fix would be greatly appreciated.

MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012)

Hi,


First, Google Maps requires OS X v10.8.3 or later > https://support.google.com/maps/answer/3096703?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop


If you aren't sure which OS X is installed, click your Apple  menu top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click: About This Mac


The OS X version is noted there.


If your Mac is running v10.8 or later, you may have a Safari extension or third party plug-in installed that's causing a conflict. It’s easy to troubleshoot.



From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Uninstall one extension at a time, quit and relaunch Safari to test.



If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.


Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.


If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.

If you are also one of those internet users who prefer using Google Maps in daily life to get directions from one place to another, calculate distance between two locations, find shortest driving distance, and for many other purposes then sometimes Google maps not working issue might really frustrate you.


I have also faced many Google Maps issues like: Google Maps navigation not working or Google Maps street view not working etc. but thanks to Zero Dollar Tips guys, i became able to solve these issues.


If you are using Safari browser to access Google Maps on your computer then selecting “Prompt for every website for one time” option which is available right next to Website use of location services can easily solve this issue.


Follow these guides in order to fix Google Maps not working properly on Android and Browsers:
