I made this static map image-link to put on our website. The map works in Chrome on Mac OS 10.6.8 but it doesn't show on iOS7.1. Ive tried both on iPhone 4s and iPad2. The only thing I get on iOS7 is a blank square.
If I paste the link in the Safari adress-field on my iPad I can see the map.
here's the link:
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=62.388298,17.316515&zoom=15&size=300x300&scale=2&markers=color:red%7C62.388298,17.316515&maptype=roadmap&sensor=false&key=
Since I havent managed to figure this out myself Ive currently made a clickable link for iOS/Android users but Im not sure if Im supposed to do that..
thx
Why not using the maps api v3? I get the follwing error in chrome on windows:
The Google Maps API server rejected your request. This IP, site or mobile application is not authorized to use this API key.
On v3 of the maps api you don´t need a key.
Eventually this solves your problem.

We're using google maps to display company locations on a map. It still works in Chrome, Firefox & Safari currently, however in IE 11 today we noticed that none of the tiles are loading and we get grey tiles with a text saying "Sorry, we have no imagery here". I checked the network tab and it looks like, the tile requests are trying to fetch the tiles from the domain, where the map is displayed instead of fetching them from the google servers.
I tried changing the version parameter to v=weekly and v=3.3.6, but it still behaves the same.
The map is embedded like this:
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key={API_KEY}&v=3.exp" defer></script>
in IE11 the tile request looks like this:
https://example.com/google-maps-page/undefinedpb=!1m5!1m4!1i6!2i34!3i21!4i256!2m3!1e0!2sm!3i480189574!3m14!2sen-US!3sUS!5e18!12m1!1e68!12m3!1e37!2m1!1ssmartmaps!12m4!1e26!2m2!1sstyles!2zcy50OjJ8cy5lOmx8cC52Om9mZg!4e0&key={API_KEY}&token={TOKEN}
in chrome the working tile-requests look like this:
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/vt?pb=!1m5!1m4!1i6!2i31!3i22!4i256!2m3!1e0!2sm!3i480189574!3m14!2sde-DE!3sUS!5e18!12m1!1e68!12m3!1e37!2m1!1ssmartmaps!12m4!1e26!2m2!1sstyles!2zcy50OjJ8cy5lOmx8cC52Om9mZg!4e0!5m1!5f2&key={API_KEY}&token={TOKEN}
We are also encountering the same problem.
Switching to v=3.36 solves this for now, but 3.36 will be removed next update, where it will default to the "v=quarterly" response.
I had the same issue, my site is using es6-shims library, but once I change it to core-js library, google maps 3.38 works well in IE11, not sure if it is a google maps issue or es6-shims issue.
Without any shims google maps 3.38 does work in IE11, so the issue could be incompatibility between es6-shims and latest google maps
I'm trying to figure out the URL Scheme to to trigger Google maps to open right to the spot where you can review a business.
Tried everything from
comgooglemaps://search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid=ChIJ3TEKFllwcVMRGzGat2nA7H4
And
comgooglemaps://?q=Southland+Technical+Services+LTD,+5708+1+St+SE+%232,+Calgary,+AB+T2H+2W9&ludocid=9145896503567069467#lrd=0x53717059160a31dd:0x7eecc069b79a311b,3
But none of these appear to work. It works as normal URL in a web browser but in iOS app of Google maps it doesn't.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Recently I noticed that geolocation doesn't work on Firefox when using Google Maps API. After googleing for a while, I tried showing my current location (from a laptop, not from mobile) on Google Maps, but it didn't work there as well.
Here's what I have in my geo.wifi.uri in the about:config Firefox's tab:
https://www.googleapis.com/geolocation/v1/geolocate?key=%GOOGLE_API_KEY%
Can anyone help me?
I faced the same problem, and from what I found, we can't use Google's Geolocation unless we get our own API key. If you don't mind, you can use Mozilla's Geolocation, but the results will be different from Google's.
You can change https://www.googleapis.com/geolocation/v1/geolocate?key=%GOOGLE_API_KEY% to https://location.services.mozilla.com/v1/geolocate?key=%MOZILLA_API_KEY%

hello im hosting Google maps API on my localhost for now, and it appears fine in Chrome and the mobile phone version. (both safari and chrome iPhone versions).
My problem is Google maps doesn't show when it comes to my Mac version of Safari. the Grey(background) shows and the cursors change to the Google maps cursor, but the map and content doesn't display. what can be the problem?
Here is a link to the map. as you can see the map displays in Chrome but not in safari.(at least not for me).

there is no guarantee that navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition will return a result. The user may deny the permission or the geolocation-service may not be able to locate the user.
You better initialize the map with a default-center (center is required to display the map).
I find the solution after 1 hours , it's because my website (developpement) was in http and not https :) Safari will ask your localisation.
I have tag used to load the google map in my web site. All browser load the google map Successfully , Except google chrome Version 30.0.1599.69 . how to fix this issue in Google chrome 30.0.1599.69 ? give me suggestion .
Sample code:
I'm a Google trusted photographer and this issue is a big problem for my clients.
before the issue was solved, you could use the maps api. I did this little tool : http://visitevirtuelle.odoxo.fr/bug-de-chrome-30-et-des-iframe-de-google-maps/ to replace the google iframe by a modified one, it works for Streetview and business photo (and really simple maps).
It could help.
