It's Google's idea of "progress" :-( The latest and greatest version of Google maps has system requirements which apparently means that it won't run under FreeBSD The following is from <https://support.google.com/maps/answer/3096703>; =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D To use the full Google Maps with 3D imagery and Earth view, your computer needs: The latest version of one of the following browsers: Google Chrome Firefox Internet Explorer Safari One of these operating systems: Mac OS 10.8.3+ Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 Chrome OS with an Intel CPU Linux (not using Firefox) Up-to-date video card hardware and drivers. See below for more info. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D On first reading that I thought we might have been able to manage with Chrome under FreeBSD but it appears that the reference to Linux is precise and doesn't mean Unix like systems as is sometimes the case. Browsers not meeting the system requirements will automatically be fed with maps in "Lite" mode. The following is from <https://support.google.com/maps/answer/6070247?p=3Dlitemode&hl=3Den-GB&rd= =3D1> =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D In Lite mode, some features are turned off so that Maps can run faster. You won't be able to use the following features while running Maps in Lite mode: Seeing 3D imagery and Earth view Showing your computer?s location on the map Setting home and work Searching nearby, measuring the distance between places, and getting coordinates Draggable routes Embedding a map Sending a place to your car Viewing My Maps in Google Maps Reporting a map data problem in Google Maps =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D --=20 Mike Clarke
