Pet Peeve: When Google Maps Doesn’t Work

Right now, I’m steaming as I wait in frustration for Google Maps to work properly. A simple query for Staples locations in New York City is taking forever. I get the infamous “loading…” in yellow up on the top of the screen. Everything else about the Maps site works: the redrawing of the street views and switching between the sat and classing map views takes no time at all.

As I type this, it still says its loading. I actually had to go to Staples’ website which uses some bastard version of MapQuest (Yuck!) to display store locations.

Maybe Maps is still in beta.

This website uses IntenseDebate comments, but they are not currently loaded because either your browser doesn't support JavaScript, or they didn't load fast enough.
