Maps bug in interactive map

I have been using google maps to show both static and interactive maps for years. But recently the interactive map is messed up and shows a location in the middle of the US.

Static map (works): http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=55.6494945,12.6222471&zoom=14&size=400x400&maptype=roadmap&markers=color:red%7Ccolor:red%7Clabel:A%7C55.6494945,12.6222471&sensor=false

Interactive map (fails): http://maps.google.com/maps?q=loc:55.6494945,12.6222471

The interactive map puts a marker in the middle of the US even though that the streetview can find the correct location.

Any hints why the interactive map fails to display the correct location?

Looks like the new Google Maps is not backwards compatible. – geocodezip
