How to Reduce the Size of the Pop-Up Box on My Google Maps
When you load Google Maps, you are presented with two primary sections of the application. The first is a box on the left-hand side that contains useful links, and the second is the map itself. This map shows you your default location and takes up well over half the screen. However, if you want the map to occupy all of the available space, you can use a built-in command in the Google Maps interface to minimize the box that pops up with it.
