Having problems viewing Google maps?

We've had a few people report getting an error message when trying to access our "Your view of history" map, that tracks personal accounts from the inauguration in Washington. If you receive an error message that reads something like "the Google Maps API server rejected your request"… just click the OK button. You should still be able to view the map without any issues. And if you do continue to experience any problems, you can click on the "show monuments & streets" link on the right hand side of the page. That will bring up the landmarks and streets on the map so you’ll still be able to view the personal accounts.

We're working with Google to ensure that you do not experience any problems with the maps. Stay tuned for more updates throughout the day, as we continue to update the map.

UPDATE:
You should no longer be seeing the error message popup when you attempt to access the "your view of history" map.

I watched the Inauguration ceremonies with my two grandsons, aged 4 and 2 years old. I told them that we are watching a historical moment. That when they grow bigger they will study about the Inauguration of President Barack Obama in Social Studies of World History.

When I saw Malia and Sasha with their grandmother, I told my grandsons that she is the girls “Grandma”. Like them (my grandsons), grandma takes care of the girls when mommy and daddy are at work.

My two grandsons, Tyler (4) and Dylan (2) watched the whole ceremonies and Dylan even clapped his hands whenever I clapped my hands when Pres. Obama was delivering his inaugural speech.

hello to the cnn news cast, excellent broadcastimg on the president's Inauguration. I had tivo the program since early this morning. wolf and Mr. cooper did the very best I had ever seen and I have watched a lot since the kennedy days and I have never seen such a news program that devoted themselves to a broadcasting such as they did today I would give them a A+ for their performance and ability to show the public as much as they did. I used to watch the fox news but you have convinced me to start watching CNN news. I started to watch fox today and I had found out that your news cast was showing the Inauguration before anybody else did. very smart idea. You have got my attention after that. you guys should be commended for what you did today. Very good anchoring today. I have had CNN news on all day and will be watching most of the night. Thank you for making today very special to me and most of americans. thanks again to wolf and mr. cooper. from john stineman in buffalo, ny ps. I am a 51 year old disable veteran and I wish I could have been there but I could not, so thanks for making me feel like I was. I will never forget your news cast on today's events. thank you from the bottom of my heart. very good job and keep up the work. that's why CNN is the number #1 news program on the air today because of your team of reporting.

Please have the announcers stop talking so we can hear and see the bands, marching units and troops. These people came a long way and worked hard to be there. The courteous thing would be to let them be seen and heard.!
