Did You Mean:

It was brought to my attention that the problem with Google Maps no longer showing the “Did you mean:” suggestions in Safari is a Safari-only issue. By changing the User Agent in the Safari Debug menu it functions as expected. I first noticed this on June 18th, though it may have started before then.

Normally, when an address is misspelled or close-enough to an address Google Maps recognizes, it would offer a suggestion of the correct address on the side. This came in handy, especially for addresses in Canada, where Google Maps seems to be very picky about capitalization.
