Hi guys,
Just to update you on my progress i was able to find the logs for the MDS which was displaying an error message that was being sent via our firewall which was blocking
www.google.com/glm/mmap due to is being in application/binary form.
i had the server guys allow this through the firewall and it is now letting google maps to work. YAY
have started to test on more devices with other employees and have success.
So thankyou all for your assistance
