Google Maps - map doesn't resize with page

Google Maps - map doesn't resize with page

The map area in Google Maps doesn't resize when I resize the page or window. I believe this used to be the case in O9.23 and this is certainly how FF and IE behave.

(Btw, I saw some other topics discussing Google services, but no mention of Maps. Sorry if it's been reported already.)

Yep, horizontally works fine but vertically it just cuts the map,

I've reported it: bug-283190.

I confirm the problem. The "zoom in" resizing in some cases cuts the map layout. But if I go back to a lower grade, and newly back to the actual from cache, the map is correct.

[EDIT] The direction doesn't affects the problem. But the back and forward zooming "solves" it.

Does maps.google.com even work in Opera 9.5? I tried and it was like watching a slow motion movie.

I have few entries in urlfilter file, could this really affect so much? Computer has e6600 + 2 gigs memory, so can't see it as a hardware issue.

I detected the same behaviour. In 9.23 works smoothly, but in 9.50 indeed is significantly slower, and has the mentioned problem. Works on 9.50, but not like 9.23.

Found a solution for my terrible maps.google.com experience:

Site Preferences -> Network -> Mask as internet explorer "Identify as Internet Explorer"

After the above change, everything at the site starts working smoothly. Sad and Funny at the same time.

EDIT: I was jumping the gun a little - almost everything works, except the hybrid map.

EDIT2: ... Final solution > Just change it to "Identify as Internet Explorer", everything works - fast

By me didn't work the spoofing.

I must admit that I haven't tried it yet, but to me it looked like a repainting/rendering issue, which I wouldn't think is affected by the browser identification.

I usually have no probs with maps.google, ID as opera...

If you are new here, you may not know this bit of code, that will give you 'fullscreen maps'!!

Not even in the latest alpha?

That is great UserCSS!

yes!! send thanks to the author.. I have spent hours just 'sightseeing'!!

the strange thing is, it only will take up about half the page... but that script will solve that problem!! yes, in alpha, 9500!! (though I think win98SE helps....)

Yeah, Google Maps is sloooooooow for me as well (9.5 on a Mac) :-(
Initial loading of the map tiles takes ages and puts the CPU to > 80% during that time. Dragging the map is more than sluggish.

Changing ID to Internet Explorer did not help at all.

well if you are the author of this, please add your details!! - it may just be 'forum-server' problems, though....
put this in a text file, eg gmapfullscreen.css ...

@media projection{
#header,#panel,#paneltoggle{display:none!important;}
#map{position:fixed!important;top:0!important;left:0!important;width:100%!important;
height:100%!important;box-sizing:border-box;margin:0!important;}
}

html{position:fixed;}

Seems to be fixed in build 9562.
