I don't know whats wrong. It worked for months then it didn't work. Maybe Google changed their system around. How do I fix it?

All my gmap nodes contain only a gray field with no map inside it, but it does have the navigator interface and stuff. Its as if it doesn't know where its supposed to be, but it wants to be somewhere. Its really frustrating because I don't know if its me or them. The API key is correct, the code is correct in the macro creation, the filter is enabled, just one day it stopped showing the godforsaken map.

I am unfortunately stuck with 4.6 for now, and I hear there have been major changes to the gmap module since then. Tell me what you think?

The GMap module has moved on quite a bit since then. Also the Google Maps API has changed since then too. I assume that perhaps Google is no longer supporting the version of the API that this is based on.

The most significant change is the way that way that the Gpoint works switched the lat and longitude.

Therefore the first thing I would suggest is switching the order of the latitudes and longitudes in the macro (42.34252731950016,-71.12239837646484" rather than "-71.12239837646484,42.34252731950016" )

If that doesn't fix it I might be able to give you a couple of tweaks you can do to the module to fix it.

The label in the UI needs to be updated also. It took me a while to find this, but it fixed the problem.

I never found the solution, and had so many battles with this module that I gave up on the interactive directions map and used a plain old jpeg instead.

However, my other organization is building out a community media map to log locations of videos house on our website. I have a complicated issue that I can't figure out, when the top admin account creates a video I get a gmap UI to stick on the map coordinates, however when other users create a video they only get a big empty square as if the gmap UI never renders. Its not even a grey square, its just, not there. I do see the coordinate fields and and the address field.

I have everything else working. Take a look:

Sounds like a missing checkResize().
In any case, 4.6 is dead.

4.6 might be a version or so behind, but certainly not dead. Fixing this issue in all the versions still has positive ramifications for users and site administrators.

I'm having the same problem, on sites running 4.7.2.

Version: 4.6.x-1.x-dev » 4.7.x-1.x-dev

Who wants to be the 4.7 maintainer? Anyone?

4.7 is unsupported now.
