Google Maps flickering issue in Google Chrome browser - google-maps

In my Javascript Application, Google maps are used with lot of Markers.This Google Map is displayed properly in Browsers Firefox, IE 9, Safari...But in Google Chrome(version 12.0.742.112) when Zoom in and Zoom out the google maps are Flickering...It is not displayed properly...What is the problem here...Please help me to clear this issue...

The issue is most likely caused by a conflict with your hardware acceleration. Timing
I had the same problem. I found that by disabling 'Use hardware acceleration when available' option from the Advanced Settings > System options sorted this out for me.
I have done a bit of research and it appears that this bug is fixed in later builds of Chrome. Hope this is the answer you were looking for!
My issue stemmed from the fact that my graphics card was an NVidia card that has a known bug with some hardware acceleration.
Another option, rather than just disabling Hardware Acceleration entirely, is to turn down your hardware acceleration settings. See this link which gives instructions how to access the hardware acceleration setting in Windows. Move the slider down about 2 clicks which should disable any Direct 3D drawing abilities.

Try a different build of chrome (say, chrome canary)and/or disabling hardware acceleration within chrome itself.

On linux I had the problem because, nvidia driver wasn't installed. Once the driver installed the flickering disapear.

WebGL: Software only, hardware acceleration unavailable (on chrome but not chromium)

I have webgl software only on chrome yet hardware accelerated on chromium on the same machine.
How can i figure out the problem? because if this happens for a lot of people then there is less incentive to use webgl in the first place.
Google Chrome:
Chromium:
It's also possible that nothing in about:flags will fix this
I have tried various tips like resetting all flags, or enabling the "Override software rendering list" option and they didn't work for me
It turns out there is another place to look, under chrome://settings/ there is "Use hardware acceleration when available"
I remember now I had turned this off a few months ago as it was glitchy when using an external monitor via a Thunderbolt dock
Flipping it back on and using the laptop display only I now have nice smooth accelerated WebGL
As suggested by the comments, resetting all flags in about:flags fixed the issue.

Emulate Touch Screen option absent, Device Emulation provides no touch screen response

I am working on a mobile website at the moment and I refreshed the page, Chrome quit unexpectedly, and since then all touch screen emulation is absent and/or failing.
Chrome Version: 36.0.1985.125 m,
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate SP1
Google Chrome suddenly and unexpectedly stopped emulating devices properly. All touch screen functionality has been disabled and apparently removed. When I emulate a device, the Sensors box fails to be checked and upon inspection, does not show any 'Emulate Touch Screen' option.
I have tried the following, all in conjunction:
Uninstalling/Reinstalling Chrome and deleting all personal settings, including uninstalling all extensions, restoring all defaults, etc.
Restarting the computer
Running anti-virus software
EDIT: Installed Chrome Canary which produced the exact same problem
Please let me know if there are any other relevant details that I might need to add.
Sorry about this. We overhauled the touch emulation in Chrome 36 to be much more accurate (sharing code with what really happens in Chrome Android): https://plus.sandbox.google.com/+RickByers/posts/CBCmhVttj5C. In the process we ended up disabling touch emulation when real touch support was present (at the time we thought this was no big deal because if you've got a real touchscreen why would you want to fake one with mouse?). But some Windows PCs report that they have a touchscreen when in fact they don't really (Eg. Visual Studio installs a touch screen emulator I believe).
We're fixing this at http://crbug.com/395531 - hopefully there will be a Chrome Canary build soon that re-enables touch emulation in these cases.
In the meantime you can mostly work around the issue by disabling Chrome's support for built-in touchscreens at chrome://flags/#touch-events. Make sure you set this back to 'Enabled' after Chrome is updated to fix the issue. With this disabled, some minor aspects of touch emulation (eg. DOM0 ontouchstart= handlers) will not work properly.
Stop the "Tablet PC Input Service" and restart chrome. If chrome thinks you have a touch screen, it won't let you emulate one.

Seeing topographical information in Chrome

The Firefox Web Developer's Toolbar had an option under Information to see the topographical information about a page: what's inside of what. Is there any way to see that with Chrome's Dev Tools?
I installed the Web Developer's Toolbar on Chrome but can't see any way to turn the toolbar on. Then I found something from 2013 about Google disabling toolbars.
So, is there a way to see what elements are inside of what elements with Chrome?
I'm using Chrome 34.0.
Thanks
The Pendule Chrome extension has a Topographic View which works like the Firefox one.
And about the Web Developer extension in Chrome, after you install it, you'll be able to enable it from chrome://extensions/, it will show a gear icon button at the top right of the screen.
According to William Price's comment, something that was once called "Tilt" in FireFox is meant. We considered doing the same thing, but since it was impossible to correctly display overlapped elements' contents (IIRC, Tilt had the same issue), we abandoned that idea. Instead, we've got the Layers panel, which displays compositing layers (see Layer composition in the chrome dev tools).

Tabs In Google Chrome Have gotten clobbered, How to reset?

For some reason, my tabs have gotten crunched on my google chrome browser (see picture attached). I've try to go into settings and reset browser but it does not change. I'm running windows 8.1 with my fonts at 150% because I have big monitors.
Version 31.0.1650.63 m
I just did some more searching and found the answer (though it makes the screen pretty ugly, google does not do a good job with this)

"I found the answer posted by Azmeer Kahn on November 22. Type chrome://flags in the address and scroll WAY down to the HiDPI section - change from default to Enable. Whew. Worked for me."
Are these tabs pinned? I had similar problems with pinned tabs in early versions of chrome. Unpinning and pinning again might help then.

Reverse scrolling in Chromebook

Is there a way that I can change my Chromebook's scrolling as OS X Lion's reverse scrolling? I both use Chromebook and MacBook Air. Reverse scrolling just makes sense.
See Use your Chromebook touchpad in the Chromebook Help.
Originally, the Macify extension for Google Chrome also included a rough implementation of Apple's Natural Scrolling, Chrome OS now includes it out-of-the-box. To enable, just go to:
chrome://settings/pointer-overlay
and select Australian scrolling.
Chrome OS natively supports inverted scrolling, look for it in Settings (dev channel only for now).
Go to Chrome's settings page (chrome://settings), under Device, click Touchpad settings, and select "Australian scrolling" instead of "Traditional scrolling".
See also google's page on this topic, especially if Google updates Chrome OS to make the above advice outdated.
