Godfrey,
As you well know, Google Maps (as all (most?) google services) are very
much distributed.
So the fact that you, in/near Silicon Valley are able to use it, doesn't
mean that there are no problems on the East Coast or in the South.
Brian,
I am seeing it in the OLD version (12.17) of Opera (before
they switched to the WebKit and it became a la Chrome).
In that version, they didn't enable the new verison of the maps,
and as far as I saw just a week ago or two, the "Classic" was still
the default one (and the only one available?) in that browser.
It looks like they have pulled the plug on the Classic design
(presumably on April 29).
The only way that I see the Classic design still working (in this part of
the world) is via this link:
https://www.google.com/lochp
( http://maps.google.com/?output=classi doesn't work anymore)
I am actually suspecting that the unresponsivenes of the new design is
in part because they disabled the old one recently, and while the new one
is "heavier", it is not as scalable, and the servers are overloaded.

Hmm. My iPad's Maps app found them by name immediately and brought up
nice satellite photos of them.
So much for that...
I'm getting a "The page isn't redirecting properly" error on Google Maps
this morning.
John, these URLs give you the 'Classic Version" of Google Maps (at least
for now):
www.google.com/lochp
maps.google.com/?output=classi
