    I installed Google Pro, worked Ok for a while. Now its just a black screen when I zoom in on a given location!

    Signed out and cleared the cache, But its still the same.

    I wondered too...
    Second things second: Do you really need this? Probably not, as Pro was created with business/enterprise users in mind -- but it does afford some pretty cool extras not found in the free version, including:

    Advanced measurements: Measure parking lots and land developments with polygon area measure, or determine affected radius with circle measure.
    High-resolution printing: Print images up to 4,800 x 3,200 pixel resolution.
    Exclusive pro data layers: Demographics, parcels, and traffic count.
    Spreadsheet import: Ingest up to 2,500 addresses at a time, assigning place marks and style templates in bulk.
    Movie-Maker: Export Windows Media and QuickTime HD movies, up to 1,920x1,080-pixel resolution.

    Been very useful for the OH's business needs and saved money too.

    Lots of people don't need it but might want it.

    You can console yourself that instead you have got two copies of your post on MSE! :T

    I suppose it's an age thing. Mind you, it never does any harm to make mention of such things because you never know, maybe someone has a solution.
