Google Maps Lite Mode


Running Slackware64 14.2 along with an nVidia GeForce GTX 780 and the latest nVidia binary drivers, version 375.39. I'm also using Google Chrome and finally am able to get everything under chrome://gpu/ to be hardware accelerated and enabled, but Google Maps will not go into full version mode! It works well in Windows 10 so the video card is capable... any suggestions?

EDIT: looks like it works in full version mode in FireFox! what gives??

EDIT2: sorry folks, I figured it out! Looks like my browser agent string was the culprit. It was set to

Code:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11 / Slackware64 14.2; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/56.0.2924.87 Safari/537.36
the extra "/" between the X11 and Slackware version caused this issue... replacing it with a ";" fixed it
