Internet Explorer "object not found" error on google maps
When using mod_deflate to compress the pages internet explorer, might display an object not found error while displaying a google map. Upon refreshing the page IE will display the map.
To avoid this error one can try the following sample configuration options for apache 2:
<Location />
SetInputFilter DEFLATE
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
BrowserMatch \bMSIE no-gzip
BrowserMatch \bMSI[E] no-gzip
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 gzip-only-text/html
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4\.0[678] no-gzip
# Don't compress images
SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \
\.(?:gif|jpe?g|png)$ no-gzip dont-vary
# Make sure proxies don't deliver the wrong content
Header append Vary User-Agent env=!dont-vary
</Location>
Safari crashes when displaying a google map
This problem is caused by a bug in Safari in conjuction with the google api javascript. Hopefully this issue will be resolved soon.
As a workaround one can use the undocument "&show_map=no" option. So for example when trying to view the page for node 1021 instead of using the " http://server.example.org/?page=nodes&node=1021" one can use the " http://server.example.org/?page=nodes&node=1021&show_map=no" url to avoid the crash.
