Google Maps API not working (help!) - google-maps

When I click to the embedded Google Maps API of the following Web Page: http://ada.kiexpro.com/html/list.html (click 地圖 at the top-right corner).
It displays:
This web site needs a different Google
Map API key. A new key can be generted
at http://code.google.com/apis/maps/.
Sorry but I've never used this application before. Do I have to just generate a new code in order to solve the problem? Or there are another problems?

Yes, follow the link. Each distinct domain needs its own API key.

This works normally for me

Gray grid on google map

I have created a map which you can see here http://summitaccounting.ca/about-us
I have created the API key twice with the same result
I have pinpointed the property. However, I cannot get rid of the gray grid over the top of the map. Here is the code I am using.
Any help would be appreciated.

<head>
<style>
#map {
height: 400px;
width: 100%;
}
</style>

<body>
<div id="map"></div>
<script>
function initMap() {
var uluru = {lat: 52.115, lng: -114.894};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
zoom: 14,
center: uluru
});
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: uluru,
map: map
});
}

In your template.css file, you have this style declaration:
a img,fieldset,img{
border:none;
padding:5px 10px !important;
}
It's that padding that is messing with your google maps. You're going to need to rework some of this, or try to override it with even more !important styles for the google maps. ugh.

Get info card from embed API in API v3

I like this info card you get in the left top corner of a card you embed. Is there a possibility to display this card if I use the API v3. Or do I have to use the embed API of Google Maps?
Because I like to block the use of the scrollwheel and some other options of the API which I can not use with the embedding API.
I think you can use the Custom Save Widget.

the save-widget is going away, but I think the way to show the box should be still valid.

google map api hello world

I'm learning Google map api v3. So I went to their site and found the Helloworld from the developers' guide:
link:here
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" />
<style type="text/css">
html { height: 100% }
body { height: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0 }
#map-canvas { height: 100% }
</style>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=API_KEY&sensor=SET_TO_TRUE_OR_FALSE">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function initialize() {
var mapOptions = {
center: new google.maps.LatLng(-34.397, 150.644),
zoom: 8
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map-canvas"),
mapOptions);
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="map-canvas"/>
</body>
</html>
I replaced the API_KEY by an api key and SET_TO_TRUE_OR_FALSE by true. But my browser gave me:
This page contains the following errors:error on line 12 at column 96:
EntityRef:expecting';'Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.
Could someone help me with this, please?
Please refer the link below.
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/8FSWj/
There is no need to set API key in the script. Please use script used in the above demo.
You have to set div height and width in pixels. Do not set div height and width in percentage.
Another demo with zip code search as below.
Search Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/y829C/1/
<div id="map_canvas"></div>
#map_canvas{
height: 350px;
width: 500px;
}
I recently had to deal with the Google Map API. I'm definitely no expert but..
If you remove the API key all together and replace sensor=SET_TO_TRUE_OR_FALSE with sensor=false it 'should' work fine.
I'm not sure what the repercussions are for not using an API key though.

google maps beginner tutorial region

I am just following the tutorial on google's website on how to use their API. I found this code and am trying to get it to work for any other country than the default but it isn't:

var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"),
mapOptions);
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="initialize()">
<div id="map_canvas" style="width:100%; height:100%"></div>

from what it says this should work simply. I am trying to get Spain to display on map rather than current choice.
The link am following: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/basics
Thanks,
Change the values you're passing to google.maps.LatLng() to some close to where you want to display (eg., goggle.maps.LatLng(40.813797402839086, -3.62546328124995) for Madrid, according to LatLng).
You are trying to set the position of the map by setting the region. You still need to change the co-ordinates to those of Spain.
Try: 40.6986° N, 3.2949° W

problems with google map markers

as you can see at my test.php the marker ist working fine.
but when I zoom the map for an better overview the marker is going to north???
If I zoom a lot, the marker moved to North sea :-(
Is this a known bug? or am I doing something wrong?

The default anchor point for an icon (which is what you get if you don't define it) is at the bottom center of the image.
You need to fully specify the icon using an instance of MarkerImage.
FYI - your icon seems to move because there is a lot of empty space between the bottom of the flag and the bottom of the image (which is where it is currently anchored).
