What happened to the Earth view in Google Maps on Chrome? [closed]

Solution 1:

It is still there, but you have to ensure that "Hardware Acceleration" is Enabled inside Chrome settings:

chrome://settings

  • click Show Advanced Settings
  • scroll down to the "System" section and check "use hardware acceleration when available"

Then, restart chrome and you should now have the "Earth" option

Solution 2:

I have the same problem. Window 10, Chrome 55, Intel HD4000/Radeon HD7600M. No earth mode in Google Map only Satelite when I open from Chreom (and Opera) but no problem at all when I open from Firefox, MS Edge or even oldie IE. It's very weird because when I boot from another partition (on my old HDD) with the same drivers and softwares, it works fine . I tried all suggestions but still doesn't work.

Just minute ago I found this suggestion and it solved my problem. Just enable "Override software rendering list" in Chrome.
