Google maps no display

Google maps will not display on my Dell laptop computer (Windows 7) if I use maps.google.com. It will only display if I go to Google and type "Google maps Los Angeles".. like that. Then I'm presented with a maps link which does work. But, if I access maps directly with my link which has been working for years, I get a blank page. This started about a week ago.

I've searched everywhere.. even put a post on their help board.. nothing. I've cleaned up the cache, rebooted.. all that stuff. Maps still works on my Samsung netbook, as I was beginning to suspect Verizon, my ISP.

Any tips on what may be wrong?

    Go to www.google.com
    Click on their menu which is the 9 tiny black boxes in the upper right of the webpage.
    Click on "Maps".

    If that works, delete your old link and make this a favorite link.

    Your bookmark is likely out dated
    Google has likely made server changes

    Neither of those work - but what does happen is the URL changes to this code: https://www.google.com/maps/@37.2691745,-119.306607,NaNz
