Question: Google Maps and Old Versions of Safari

Google Maps may no longer work in older versions of Safari, Apple’s web browser. Joel Riggs wrote yesterday: “For the past 24 hours it appears that maps.google.com (aka Google Local) is not loading in Safari browsers … is this an ‘upgrade’ that fails the test of backwards compatability?” He’s using Safari 1.3.1 on Panther (OS X 10.3.9); I’m running the most recent version of each (Safari 2.0.2, OS X “Tiger” 10.4.3) and have encountered no new problems with Google Maps. I’ve done a quick check of the relevant Google Groups, but I’ve come up with nothing. Can anyone shed any light on this? Can anyone else reproduce Joel’s issue?

I’m running the same setup as Joel (OS 10.3.9 and Safari 1.3.1) and just checked Google Maps and all seemed to be working fine. Perhaps it was a temporary problem.

Works for me as well—same setup as Joel. Maybe he needs to clear his cache, get rid of some cookies, or do a Safari reset and go from there. Enjoy!
