Google Maps issue on Safari for Mac (Monterey 12.6)

[Gnik Nus]

I just updated to Monterey 12.6 (MacBook Pro mid 2015) and I am experiencing a funny problem with Google Maps on Safari. The site loads normally, but as soon as I start zooming in or out I see this:

On other browsers, Google Maps seems to work fine.

Anybody?

I am using OSX 10.12.6 and Safari 16.0

Using both the + -; no issues; using two fingers to zoom in or out I have not issues.

my iMac is a 2017 Imac 27"

I observe the same issue as reported by Gnik Nus after installing Monterey 12.6 (Mac mini late 2014)

I am also experiencing this Google Maps glitch. I am also on a MacBook Pro mid 2015.

Good to know I'm not alone. This must mean the glitch is real.

Same issue here since the update yesterday. Mid-2015 MacBook Pro.

Just tried it on my updated M2 MBA and it is working normally for me.

Are you using any extensions?

Not running any extensions in Safari.

Same problem here on mid2015 MBP.
Interestingly, Safari Technology Preview does not glitch and die but does crash the tab when trying 3D/Globe view.

Is anyone else experiencing problems with images not loading?

Working fine on my rig.

Yes. I have seen images not loading on one site. It was just grey boxes. Just looked again to confirm and it seems to work OK.

Google Maps, OS Maps, TomTom MyDrive are all still "broken".

Yes, same with me.

Same problem on my MBP mid-2015. The same page works fine on Google Chrome.

Having the same issue... Working well in Chrome.. any updates yet for Safari?
🤙✌️✌️

 

[Jonty711]

Having same issue. Looks the same as OP but works fine in Firefox.

Working fine for me on 12.6 with Safari 16. For those of you with the issue, what version of Safari are you using?

This bug appears to be affecting older Macbooks with dual graphics. The problem occurs with the integrated graphics (Intel Iris). Gmaps works normally with the discrete graphics (AMD Radeon). I've sent feedback to Apple & Google, already. Lets hope they fix this one.

Settings > Battery > Automatic Graphics Switching unchecked. Gmaps becomes functional on Safari 16.0, but with considerably more heat.

In general on my old '15 Macbook Pro, I use Firefox for Gmaps because of responsiveness and lower heat production (less fan). Safari is my default browser, but it is sadly lacking in performance for Gmaps.

Do the current Apple Silicon Mac's that use Safari get good performance with the use of 3D Gmaps? Any discernible fan?? Probably time for a new computer!!

I'm using Safari 16 as well, but as someone else pointed out, the issue appears to be affecting older Macbooks. I'm on a mid 2015 MBP, and I experience the issue.

Thanks for this comment and for sending feedback to Apple and Google! 👍

Safari is my default browser as well and I want to keep it like that, but for now I'm using Firefox for Gmaps.

It's probably time for a new computer thou. Looking forward to the new MBP with M2. That might be the one for me.

Same problem on my mid 2015 mbp after just updating to Monterey 12.6. Google chrome browser still ok.

Same for me! Seems like it's time for a new machine!

I'm having this issue on both my personal mid-2015 MBP and my shiny new 16" MBP work machine, so there must be some additional hiccup somewhere.

Same problem with my MBPro 2015 after updating to 12.6 and Safari 16.0
