JavaScript problem

[Pawel]

Hi there,
I tried to upload gps file on my blog, but map is not showing. Instead of it I receive info about JavaScript problems. Could you please guide me step by step what to do to fix this (I am beginner of beginners with webmastering).
Thanks in advance.

I just ran into the same problem and here is what I did to work around the issue:

June 22, 2016 Google changed their policy for the API that is called in order to use the map on your site. You can read more about the steps I followed at the following site: https://www.latecnosfera.com/2016/06/google-maps-api-error-missing-keymap-error-solved.html

First you have to register for an API Key, use the following site for that, just click on the Get Key button: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key#get-an-api-key

Since the WP GPX Maps plugin doesn’t provide you with a settings field for inputting your newly acquired API key, you will need to install another plugin as a work around. The new plugin is called Google API KEY, and can be found at the following link: https://wordpress.org/plugins/api-key-for-google-maps/

I hope this helps.

Hi, I just solve the issue editing wp-gpx-maps/wp-gpx-maps.php file. In the function enqueue_WP_GPX_Maps_scripts() you can find
wp_enqueue_script( ‘googlemaps’, ‘//maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?……
just remove the deprecated parameter and add the required one
wp_enqueue_script( ‘googlemaps’, ‘//maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=[YOUR GOOGLE API KEY]’, null, null);

I apply this solution https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-maps-api-error-missingkeymaperror-1/ becouse the error I receive was “Google Maps API error: MissingKeyMapError”

Could be a good improvement to add a new setting parameter in order to manage google api

hope this helps

it is that i took the afford to see on this page and found the solution. i think you must build this in to your app because not everyone takes the afford to install 2 plugins.

when it works, it gives you a very nice graphic of your track!

please solve problem and it will be a very useful app for people like me that likes to share tracks 😀
