To correct this problem, just download the newest Beta (as of this writing it’s Beta 2) and install. You’ll have to uninstall IE8B1 first (and then reboot), but all seems to be fixed in Beta 2. That, and the new feature set is GREAT!

All the best,

Click the Emulate IE7 button and restart IE. Gmail will work when IE7 is emulated, but not Google maps… So far, google maps is working on safari and firefox 3 on my comp, which is a windows xp…

Hey all u people worked about google maps not displaying properly on ur webpages here is a SOLUTION…

TRY REMOVING THE DOCTYPE FRO YOUR PAGE AND CHECK OUT.

I had the same problem, the entire just blewup and made life miserable, it was important for me to have the map, so i switched to yahoo maps, and there too i had a problem, not that the map blew up but it did not appear at all, so just tried getting rid of doctype and it worked.Going back to google maps without the doctype that too worked.

Have you taken a look at Virtual Earth, (it compares well with Google Earth), but gets overlooked.

You want Microsoft to hurry up and fix an issue for beta software?

The fix is: uninstall it. You’re beta testing, not using it for real work. After that, you can wait for beta 2 like the rest of us.

It’s not like to you know it was “a developer preview for web designers and developers to help prepare their websites for the launch of Internet Explorer 8.”

Unless of course you’re google, in which case you can prepare google maps for the launch of ie8.

I use google maps frequently. I am perturbed that google maps wlll
not work with IE 8 Beta 1. Does anyone know how to contact the folks
at Internet Explorer Development and Google so that a fix for this problem can be found in a hurry?
