Same for me with a twist. Not working on my desktop with IE10. On my laptop using Safari no problems but on my I pad using Safari when I go to view a cache on the map the I pad reverts to the main Safari screen. Every other application I use is fine. A bit of a mystery.

What browser and version are you using?
Works is FF and Chrome, but not IE (8 or 7).

It looks like the names in the GoogleMap API for v3 have changed.
We're using v3, but still the old names.

GLatLng is now google.maps.LatLng
I'm guessing the others have similarly changed. Will need some work to fix for Internet Explorer.
If you can use FF or Chrome, try those.

I am using FF 25.0.1 on Windows 7.

Still getting a blank screen.

I can look at google maps through google maps itself no problem, just can't see whole maps with geocaches on them.

I am able to see the mini map on a cache page, but if I click on the map, the goes blank.

Same - I thought it was just me and not the map.

Google Maps updated on 19-Nov-2013 and wrapped the v2 code (which I think we're calling) to their new V3 codebase. We have some weirdness. I've culled some of the stuff that seems to be causing the problems, but I can only do limited testing. OSM overlay is still broken.

IE9 and FF25.0.1 see to work OK (ish).

Can you please try again and let me know if it's working? If not, please tell me what browser and version you are using.

With my desktop I am using IE 10.0.11 and no problems and can drag the map around. No problems with Safari using version 5.1.7. Thanks for all your good work C@W.

Thanks C@W. PC with FF 25.0 and it works OK.

Unfortunately, IPAD2 running IOS7.0.4 with safari or atomic browsers crashes - it starts to load the map then closes the app and goes back to the home screen.

Maps are up to v3 of the Google API.
Here are the details.
