Google Maps dysfunctional with missing controls on MacBook Pro

Google Maps suddenly became dysfunctional on 10/21/2026. Map controls are missing and/or not working (no zoom, no street view, no choice of layers, sometimes I see a black map image, or the map image jumps around and is unstable. Google Maps seems to work if I'm not logged in to my Google Account. For a day or so, Google Maps worked in a Safari Private Window, but today, that option vanished. I've been chatting about the issue with Google AI, and tried many suggested solutions, but nothing has solved the problem.

MacBook Pro 2024 M4 16GB, running Mac OS 27.0.1. Problem started prior to updating from OS26 to OS27.

Google Maps works fine on my iPhone.

In a normal Safari window click and hold the refresh arrow and reload reducing privacy protection.

It's up to Google to fix Google problems. If you contacted Google or used their time-wasting make-believe "AI" equivalent of contacting them, it can only be assumed they either don't know how to fix it or they don't care to fix it.


Google is very good at what they do, so I surmise the latter is more likely.
