As quoted from Google Maps API's Development team:

Opera is not currently a supported browser for the Maps API. Supporting a browser is not just a policy decision. To support a browser we must add it to our automated test suite, and then ensure it passes all tests now and ongoing. So there is an overhead associated with supporting additional browsers. We have to balance that overhead against the volume of requests we see from that browser and decide if the adoption amongst users merits the cost.

We can not support Opera Mini, because it does not have a sufficient level of JavaScript support. This leaves Opera for Desktop and Opera Mobile. Together these two browsers account for less than 1% of the requests we receive for the Maps API v3. Perhaps the strongest argument for supporting Opera is that it would open up the API to a number of new platforms (eg. Symbian, WinMo). However when we exclude requests from platforms for which we already have a supported browser, that number drops to 0.05%. So right now supporting Opera is simply not a good investment of our engineering time compared to working on features that will benefit 100% of the developer and user base.

Consequently I am going to collapse all bugs relating to Opera into this one, and reclassify this as a Feature Request to support Opera. We will continue to keep an eye on this issue and on the adoption numbers, and if a new strong argument arises, or adoption increases, we will revisit it.

As said in comment, Google Maps has limited support to Opera. Consider using alternative browsers.
