Browser not supported by Google Maps

Question

i wrote a small progam (C#, WPF, .Net 4.6) with a Frame. After loading a HTML file with a google map I got this error:

The browser you are using is not supported by the Google Maps JavaScript API. Use a different browser.

I already have add the follwing HTML-Code:

<head><meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />

But it dosn't work any more.

Some one an idea why or what I should change?

What is your HTML presentation control? I guess edge is still pretty crippled so you probably better switch to a decent browser engine. — Fildor, Aug 09 '17 at 07:26

You can remove this error by adding:

<style>
    .infomsg {display:none;}
</style>

This just hides the message and does nothing to address the problem that Google Maps just won't work with IE 8 or below. You'll get an empty white frame and a bunch of errors in the console. Try it with a modern version of IE, F12, set the compatibility level to 8 or below. – Neil Laslett Nov 06 '17 at 19:23

It gives a few registry options (I used the entry in the HKLM part of the registry). The downside is that it seems to require a registry entry.

You have to change registry

SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION to true

check this
