$30 per year is pretty inexpensive for ANY hobby ! My other hobby costs about $90 per HOUR... so my $30 annual Groundspeak membership would last about 20 mins there ! Groundspeak is a business, more power to them... as a business owner myself I recon when you put your money where your mouth is and take a risk to set up a successful business then you're absolutely entitled to make as much money as you can from it !

Youre all welcome. I have no claim to the workaround other than seeing it posted on a local forum.... but it works and works very well. Geo-Jon

That is quite a neat little script, and with tweaking it could be even better.... thanks for that.

Actually..... yes !!!!

Nice touch, just adds the missing bit. Thanks

And for all the United Kingdom users.... a super detailed ordnance survey map can be added too. Just add the following script, greasemonkey adds the new maps for you too. Click http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/109145to add. Superb detail on those maps. Geo-Jon

Ok, I thought you were asking where to download Chrome from !! This fix is for firefox, I am not a Chrome user co cannot offer advice. If you go back to post #18 of this thread and follow those instructions it will work. Geo-Jon

Downloadable from www.google.com

Mods, how about pinning this one to the top?

No FLV player is not needed.... it plays flash content... like youtube content..... but I aint going there !!!

There is a workaround for this issue. See HERE

Simple, Firefox is a browser, like Internet explorer......... here are the steps to sort this. Step 1: Go to the Mozilla website HERE and download firefox..... follow the instructions to install it. Step 2: Click HERE and click "add to firefox" Step 3: Close down firefox and restart it again. Step 4: Click HERE and select "install" Job Done. Now use firefox instead of Internet explorer and google maps run in it, maps are back as they were. Thats about as simple as I can make it. Geo-Jon

This workaround is for Firefox. I use Firefox as my default browser for years. There will be other codes available for other browsers, just takes a bit of time.

Firefox solution: - Install Greasemonkey https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/ - Restart your browser. - Install this script http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/125949 Only works on firefox, but its google maps back on GS.
