Map doesn't show up on mobile device

[huski]

I have a nokia phone with default browser, opera mini and opera mobile, the guts of the map won’t show up on any of the browsers installed. The frame and increase size and google trademark are there, but not the map inside. Works fine on desktop and ipad. I purchased this for mobile phone use, any ideas or suggestions appreciated

Hi,

You didn’t mention your phone model or Opera version, but it’s possible the maps javascript API isn’t supported on your device. Static maps work on everything but the API doesn’t.

You can try a simple test map here:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/map-simple

And Google’s FAQ lists supported devices:
https://developers.google.com/maps/faq

•IE 8.0+ (Windows) *
•Firefox 3.0+ (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux)
•Safari 4+ (Mac OS X, iOS)
•Chrome (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux)
•Android
•BlackBerry 6
•Dolfin 2.0+ (Samsung Bada)
* Internet Explorer’s Compatibility View is not supported.

I have the Nokia 5800 with Symbian S60 V5, just upgraded my Opera Mobile Browser from v11 to 12 and now it’s working, thanks !
