I've had a problem with google maps that I think showed up in the past month or so. I can't use Google Streets or Google Physical maps unless I first select Google Satellite or Google Hybrid maps. Once I look at the satellite maps, I can use all of the google maps normally, until open a new browser window.
I've seen this on both Chrome and Firefox browsers, Windows and Linux machines. I have also seen this both logged into my account and not.
