    Google maps are not displaying on my macs with latest versions of leopard and safari, the image remains grey with blue question marks, this is not internet or firewall problem, is it happening for someone else too?

    http://maps.google.com/

    Thanks

    works fine on my safari/leopard, probably you've reached a zoom level where there is no detail left to show?

    might be a google issue

    i used to have satellite imagery of my hometown but for some reason, i get the same issue now...all i'm able to see is the road map

    but my college campus is located in an urban environment and that loads perfectly complete with road map, satellite view, and street view

    Try it with two different browsers and see if the problem persists. ie. firefox and safari.

    Works great for me, using both Safari 3.1.1 and Firefox 3.0b5...dunno why it isn't working for you.
