    Different issue here...
    When using google maps on ClientCo laptop, the map flickers a lot, like it's trying to refresh. If you zoom in or out, you could be waiting a few minutes while it flickers.


    Only happens on this laptop, and it's not network related. Running IE11/Win7.

      Streetmaps is good but bit small. I tend to use Bing maps, has OS option. Use batch file to open in full screen on Windows:

      "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" -kiosk http://www.bing.com/mapspreview
      exit

      or

      "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -k http://www.bing.com/mapspreview
      exit
