Unhappy Google Maps on VM...

Re: Google Maps on VM...

I can get onto google maps no problem, but I can't zoom in/out or change the map type in Firefox.

Re: Google Maps on VM...

Working perfectly fine and very quick, even on my 2Mb, with Firefox 3 and IE7.

Would suggest clearing your browser cache, could be duff google map stuff stuck in there.

Re: Google Maps on VM...

Fixed zoom problem, I have the Adblock Plus addon installed, it was blocking the zoom features as ad's, so just set it to allow ad's on google maps.
