A general trend in the IT industry is a move to make the internet more secure by encrypting the connection between websites and the user's browser. This doesn't mean the sites are more secure, just that communication to and from the site is encrypted.
As this change is occurring sites which once worked OK may stop working. An example are sites such as www.mapz.com.au which passes your location to the server to provide the map with information around you back to you. In the past this communication was not encrypted. Browsers such as Google Chrome and more recently Safari on macOS now require the communication to be encrypted for the site to work property.
The Mapz site provides maps for things I find useful. The nearest cinema, petrol stations and takeaway food outlets. I use the maps regularly. I wrote them for myself and make them available for others to use.
I hope you find them useful.
