Well your info certainly makes confusion thicker. Both sites use
google maps, as you write. Opening the links begins with a long wait
to connect to google.com but eventually the page loads and is
completely usable. So why these pages can access google.com but I
cannot is beyond me, completely.<br>
At least I have the VMs so I can use the full-on google maps in
Ubuntu 16.10 as a VM in VirtualBox.<br>

<pre wrap=""> Another bit of info but how useful? I have DraftLogic distance
calculator I use in firefox. It uses google maps and layers on that.
Google maps load for that site but not as maps.google.com. Here's
DraftLogic:[1]<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.daftlogic.com/projects-advanced-google-maps-d">https://www.daftlogic.com/projects-advanced-google-maps-d</a>
istance-calculator.htm.
Anybody know other sites that use google maps I could try?

(Shameless plug) The PEEC trail map (Pajarito plateau, Los Alamos area)
uses a Google Maps API:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://peecnature.org/learn/nature-guides/trail-guide/trailmap/">http://peecnature.org/learn/nature-guides/trail-guide/trailmap/</a>
I wanted to use OpenLayers but couldn't find a usable satellite
tile layer that works with free software.
There's also the Google Maps Pedometer for measuring distances (no
affiliation, I'm just a happy user): <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/">http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/</a>
Don't know if those will help with your google resolving problem,
but good luck!
