Your peers here would disagree with you:

'Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site, Operation aborted "Google
Map API error"'
"Move all of the remaining code that google supplied you with when
generating your API key (minus the div from above) to the very bottom of
your document, outside of the body tag."
That is exactly what WE (the 3 of us) have done and it works. No need for
further discussion.
We are not in a position to rewrite the site from scratch on your say so at
the moment as explained this is a spare time hobby project, however we have
resolved the issue this thread was started for, and that was the intention.
We appreciate the site may not be fast when accessed from some foreign
countries, but it is fast when accessed from Australia on the other side of
the world, and works fast on any European PC we can test on, in any browser
with JS enabled.
The site is designed for UK visitors, which is why the only 3 streetscapes
featured are UK ones. For the interest of UK residents in USA streets we do
provide some 'Street-lites' as we call them for US areas, but these are not
the streetscapes the site is based around.
We appreciate the help given here to solve the IE/Google bug and have now
done so, so thank you to those who gave constructive assistance. Problem
solved.
Mika, Esa, & Ben
