This may be irrelevant based on the other Maps API key thread you
started, but what you're doing wrong is that you copied and pasted the
example without reading the instructions. The example includes a URL
parameter of "sensor=true_or_false", but if you read on a couple of
paragraphs you'll find:

"Note that we also pass a sensor parameter to indicate whether this
application uses a sensor to determine the user's location. We've left
this example as a variable true_or_false to emphasize that you must
set this value to either true or false explicitly."

This part of the documentation has caused considerable trouble for
hasty beginners, not to mention some controversy on the Maps API
group. If you're still having trouble with your map, try changing
this.
