JavaFX WebView no longer works with Google Maps JS sdk

[Erel2]

It looks like something has changed recently with the Maps JS SDK and it doesn't work properly with JavaFX WebView.
The map is empty and every tile shows the message "Sorry, we have no imagery here.". Tested with various versions of JavaFX from v8 to v21.
Tested on Windows.

It happens with this implementation as well as online sites based on the maps sdk.

seeing the same, quite unfortunate.

Hi. I have reported the bug, see link. I wrote Kevin Rushford (no answer) but for whatever reason, the door to the internet, the webview is not getting any attention for improvements. Its just not working working correctly for many pages. Maybe one here with more influence can change that somehow. My 50 cents, its cause of interconnection to jxbrowser behind the scenes. Dont see any other explanation that webviev is that bad.

Map not loading for my project as well, waiting for an update from Java team:

I found a solution - source

"My intuition was right, version 3.56 should have been specified and not 3.exp which uses jGoogleMaps"
I corrected the maps.html for myself and it finally worked

version 3.56 should have been specified

Yes v3.56 works fine for me too as a short term workaround, but will not be available forever .

This picture about version availablity is from https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/versions

Hello, has anyone found a solution? I have exactly the same issue. When I try to use version 3.57, the map does not load.
My guess is that the new 3.57 version loads WebP tiles, and JavaFX is not able to display them.
