Google Maps
by Sander on Tuesday 29/Nov/2005, @13:43

I was really hoping that Konqueror 3.5 would address the problems with Gmail and Google Maps, but they still don't work. :/ That said I find that I can still use Konqueror as my main browser when in KDE and still not suffer.
Other than that, it looks like another refinement on the solid foundation of 3.x, I think I can live with that for a while. :)

Actually it is upon google to fix it.
Go into konqueror's settings and add user agents for maps.google.com/local.google.com as a Safari agent.
Oh, and don't forget to add a user agent for blogger.com as Firefox.

Then they work just fine.

Email google to tell them to fix thier silliness on excluding konqueror from acceptable browsers, even though Safari is based on khtml.

*sigh*

Does not work because you only receive an automatic answer.

Maybe it's time to publicly announce that Konqueror will switch default search engine to MSN if google continues to lock out konqueror from their web-applications.

Google Maps still doesn't work for me, even with the user agent changed. The navigation controls show up, and a gray background, but I never get a map.

Yes, I've tried it with changing the user agent in each build, but it never seems to completely work. I've been able to get the background to show up sometimes by moving the map, but never consistently.
Also Gmail, if you turn on the advanced features as it appears in FireFox and IE, doesn't work either. :/

You only have to change your user agent, and they'll work both Gmail and Google Maps.
After you've done that, please email Google asking to add Konqueror to their supported browser list.
