    I have been using the NEW Google maps for some time now . It always allowed me to click and drag the map about and also zoom in and out on the mouse scroll wheel . Now it won't let me ! If I revert to Google maps CLASSIC all is well , I can zoom and drag with the mouse. I can't see any settings buttons for the new maps , any ideas ?

    TIA

      I always used something called Multimap in the past, but I think Google has put them out of buisness.
      Not had much luck with Google maps, especially when trying to print one.
      Just dont like them.

        In the bottom right hand corner, there is a wee cog symbol - that is the settings menu. Whether that will cure your problem or not, I have no idea.

        I have one laptop that absolutely hates Streetview - if you grab the image to turn around, it will spin and spin and spin for ages, sending the graphics card nuts.

          Well Google maps seems to be working now , couldn't see anything in the settings menu FC . I think all software and webpages are set with a random function to stop working every now and then for no reason. Then voila fix themselves as if nothing was wrong. Its all a plan to keep us demoralised and not get over confident :biggrin:
