blank map with coordinates

blank map with coordinates

cannot get dynamic map to work with coordinates (works fine with normal addresses, it is not a database / field issue).

Sample coordinates work fine in google maps (50,-100), but shows a blank map in Pro Maps using both the 'address' method and the 'coordinates' method.

do others have this working?

These coordinates show up on my map without issue, looks like it is in Manitoba province near Brandon. What is the result that you get with your map, do you have a link? Have you made sure to update your API key to match your domain?

Here is a nice piece of code that you can put into the URL bar when you are on maps.google.com to get the coordinates of the center of the map:

javascript:void(prompt('lat,%20lng',%20gApplication.getMap().getCenter()));

API is fine - maps work with physical address and display fine.

Cannot get coordinates to display a map (gives a blank page), tried a variety of ways.

Please post back with the page that has the map on it along with the google_javascript folder in a zip archive. I would like to compare what you have with my same version of the map that uses these coordinates and it working.

I have been doing some testing on your pages and have determined that for some reason there is missing js code that should be created on the fly. The odd thing is that I can't determine why it is doing it like this. I will need to do some more testing of the pages and I will get back to you with what I discover.

Ok, I have done some more testing and it looks like the problem is with your wagmp_maps.js file in the google_javascript folder. In the files that you sent yours looks like this:

window.onunload = function() {
GUnload();
}

/*wagmp_onload*/
if(window.wagmp_map_1) wagmp_map_1();



The reason the map is not loading is because your map is wagmp_map_5. It looks like you copied this file in from another site, or the page with the map on it was copied from another site. You will need to update this file so that code inside looks like this:

window.onunload = function() {
GUnload();
}

/*wagmp_onload*/
if(window.wagmp_map_1) wagmp_map_1();
if(window.wagmp_map_5) wagmp_map_5();



In order for the map to work correctly it should be created in the site you are using it in. When you create a new map this file should be updated to include the additional line of code for the new map.

was away for abit, back now.

have not copied anything in from another site... this is the one and only. this extension hasn't worked the first time yet, let alone anywhere else :)

there are a few map pages, as mentioned earlier works fine with address, but not with coordinates.

i made a new file, made sure the wagmp_maps.js had the correct map file listed in it.

when i run it, everything seems to work, database returns correct values, except the map is completely non-existent.
