Anyone else having an issue when accessing Google Maps via Safari? Recently MBP has been suffering from some sort of display issue that forces Google Maps into "lite" mode rather than the full "3D" mode that allows for street view and Google Earth. Instead, I'm not able to access street view and I am only able to use the "satellite" view rather than "earth" view. I'm not talking about the Earth plugin - just the regular old website accessed directly from the browser.

Before Safari 9 allowed for WebGL, I was using a maps preview link that forced safari to use WebGL rather than default to "lite" mode. However, it seems like that workaround no long works either.

A look at Console shows some type of display kernel issue that forces an error. Happy to post if that would be helpful.

Running El Capitan 11.3 and Safari 9.0.3.
