Well your info certainly makes confusion thicker. Both sites use google maps, as you write. Opening the links begins with a long wait to connect to google.com but eventually the page loads and is completely usable. So why these pages can access google.com but I cannot is beyond me, completely.
At least I have the VMs so I can use the full-on google maps in Ubuntu 16.10 as a VM in VirtualBox.

   Another bit of info but how useful? I have DraftLogic distance

   Google maps load for that site but not as maps.google.com. Here's
   DraftLogic:[1]https://www.daftlogic.com/projects-advanced-google-maps-d

   Anybody know other sites that use google maps I could try?

(Shameless plug) The PEEC trail map (Pajarito plateau, Los Alamos area)
uses a Google Maps API:
http://peecnature.org/learn/nature-guides/trail-guide/trailmap/
I wanted to use OpenLayers but couldn't find a usable satellite
tile layer that works with free software.

There's also the Google Maps Pedometer for measuring distances (no
affiliation, I'm just a happy user): http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/

Don't know if those will help with your google resolving problem,
but good luck!
