promaps_cache_.js

There are several threads which have asked the question about the existence of the file promaps_cache_.js. Can someone please just answer the question: is it supposed to be in the google_javascript folder or not? (It isn't on my machines.) I am trying to figure out why the cache file is not being written to...

Most likely it is a permissions issue preventing the file from being created. Look to see if you are getting a javascript error on the page.

You didn't answer the question. I am beginning to think this tool is not ready for prime time. Witness: (a) No error handling to throttle the geocoding request rate if you are attempting to encode more than a handful of map points, (b) missing routines (I think), (c) a support thread that has way too many unresolved questions from users attempting to make it work, and (d) incomplete or "redirect" answers to most questions.

It was a good idea to try to package a Google maps app though.

The cache file makes it so that it doesn't have to geocode each time. It caches the geocode result. Do you have a url where you have the problem? I can look into it directly that way.
