    I'm just wondering if Google Maps is working for anyone? I try Firefox and Chrome and Google Maps not seem to be working. Just wondering if it's on my end.

    Hmm, interesting. I can't pan or zoom in or out at all. Some stupid Chinese Flashget 3.4 install 2 nights ago so I uninstalled it in Windows 7 Control Panels but it was in Chinese. So I guessed and click on one of the option and it seems to uninstalled. I deleted some of the flashget folders and reinstalled Flashget 3.3. Not sure if Flashget is causing this. Already did a virus scan and even went into safe mode and still getting the problem.

    I just trying to figure out if I have some kind of virus or Google Maps is underconstruction. Not working on all 3 browsers. It's just giving me "still loading...".

    :eek: That's what SHE said. :eek:

    Looks OK to me, cowboy.

    Say, when you mean "not working"... do you mean your browser tells you "You can't see this, cowboy." Or does it mean that you can see the map, but not a certain piece of it... or that you've been banned from seeing that location at work, or what? :confused: Throw us a frickin' bone here... :p

    When I enter Google Maps. If I click on anything inside it it will give me "still loading..." like it freezes up. Can't zoom in or pan at all. Clicking on Traffic, Map, Satellite ect.. does not seem to load at all. Search Map doesn't work or load at all. But some option such as My Account, Profile ect. I could access it.

    Hmm, interesting. So I went into Add-ons in Firefox and disabled and enabled NoScrip and DownLoadHelper and restart. Google Maps is working again on all browsers. I wonder why it affect Chrome and Internet Explorer also?

    Hmm, interesting. Maybe they are underconstruction in certain area. Maybe it's not my browsers but Google Maps servers are under construction in certain locations?

    Same problem here. Finds locations fine, but can't zoom out with the buttons. You can still use your scroll wheel or trackpad scroll though.

    I also suspect it's happening on just some servers. I see it keep getting stuck on contacting mt0 and mt1.google.com
