New Google Map

JMH said:
Who got this invitation from Google Map today? I just got few minutes ago. Unfortunately, the map is in lite mode. So, I guess when it's wide release, it should be full version.

You need to run Chrome or Firefox to enable the full mode.
 
I have to use Chrome to use the full function with Google Maps?! Sounds kinda like monopoly.

I've had lot of bad experience with Chrome, so I deleted it. I only have Safari and Firefox.

It is code related - new web app take much work to stabilize and browsers have different engines so need different codes to get work.

You can try Firefox if you don't like Chrome.

Also, Safari disabled WebGL by default.
 
I tried turning on the WebGL on Safari....still don't see any 3D support? I'm figuring it out.
 
Finally, it work in Safari with WebGL enabled and force map into full mode.

3-D does appear. :D

I ran it in Safari, nothing to do with my computers performance. Google Earth application runs fine on it. It was designed to run on Chrome or Firefox but doesn't list Safari because I used development tools to force Safari to run it.
 
I have a old version of IE at work - didn't work, but I have chrome and I checked it out after I got the invite quickily from google, and whoa, it looks awesome! I am surprised that it is not 3D yet in Sydney but beautiful views of Canberra! I'll show you. Be back in a minute or two.....

I have access to new Google Map but unfortunate my video card is too old to run the 3D Earth mode. I guess I could upgrade it for that feature and Direct 11 games someday.

I didn't pick the video card. It was birthday present from my Dad.
