en It works... kind of... It does improve the map view of Google Maps enough that it is usable... but it makes the satellite view UNUSABLE. The developer claims that it only affects map view, and that you can toggle it on/off... but these are LIES. The developer has known for years that these features don't work, and has never bothered to fix them.

en toggle is not working in chrome, not working at all in opera. Pictures and sat view gets way to dark. There a so many comments that it is not working, maybe do something. If it works it is great.

en Did not work. Right-clicking satellite did nothing. Refresh didn't work either.

en After installing the extension, make sure you reboot Google Chrome. You shouldn't need to press the right mouse button after that.

en I really like it but it could use an update. The toggle doesn't work but it's easy enough to work around if I keep Extension Manager open on another tab. Is there anything similar for IOS app?

de Danke, danke, danke, zum erstenmal schaut das wie eine eine Karte aus, was denken diesichj bei Google eigentlich das Problem ist seit Ewigleiten bekannt und es scheint eoine einfache Lösung zu geben? Da Google Maps aber für viele Benutzer nicht benutzbar bleibt muß man im kommerziellen Einsatz immer noch auf Bing zurückgreifen was hilfts.
