I've said this a few times. I do not like the new google maps. What a f*****g waste of time it is now.

Does anyone know how to get the street labels back on to the maps? I am in the map mode but none of the streets are labelled, and I cannot for the life of me figure out where that setting is.

Thanks.
Stan.

You have the option to return to classic Google maps.

Really? Well could you please enlighten me. I have no clue where they hid the preferences or settings page for that new google maps.

Thanks Les.

Thanks Sami.

I have to tell you I'm more old school than I care to admit. I am a tried and tru PC user, and now that everything has started to be re-invented for tablets and smartphones, I do not like that.

So it turns out the problem is actually Firefox.

Google Maps displays the street names and maps properly with Google Chrome (no surprise there) and Internet Explorer. Could this be a browser war issue?

When you get on the main page click on the question mark on the bottom right hand corner. You'll figure it out.

Hmm. I must be going blind. Never noticed that question mark there before. I'm back to the old google maps and it's working the way it should in Firefox. Thanks Les.

New Google Maps sucks - cannot find a print button - apparently if you hold ctrl and something else while using only 1 of 3 types of browsers and only if you bandwith is above average

or


Mapquest for the win

CTRL-P will bring up the print dialogue box in most windows apps.

MapQuest isn't bad either.

yes the new google maps totally sucks !!! , and there is no way to go back to the old one : ( , old one was way easier to use , also new one lags too much and doesn't run as smooth

Zeeman28a

Check AGVI's post above. There is a way to bring back the classic google maps.

thanks for this thread, just switched mine back to the old one, they obviously know the new one is a piece of &^%$ that they give you the option to switch back to "classic"
