So, I lifted the code from the basic intro on loading up google maps and I'm getting the following javascript error (from chromium's developer console):
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'firstChild' of null: maps.gstatic.com/intl/en_us/mapfiles/208a/maps2.api/main.js:255 Now, while looking through the developer console, I saw something that may be of interest: google.loader.KeyVerified = false; However, I've double checked, and my key (for localhost) is indeed correct. Furthermore, if I try to use the same key for a wizard- generated static map, that may -does- work. So, whatever the issue, it seems to lie in the differences in how they load the API. The offending one, which does not work, looks like this: <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/jsapi? key=ABQIAAAA3nyJk0lXZ1crqSgYKRViChT2yXp_ZAY8_ufC3CFXhHIE1NvwkxSf- X98DdSEw091ZNJ7NLxTw7Y3Gw"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> google.load("maps", "2.x"); function initialize() { var map = new google.maps.Map2(document.getElementById("map")); map.setCenter(new google.maps.LatLng(37.4419, -122.1419), 13); } google.setOnLoadCallback(initialize); </script> The one which does work looks like this: <script src="http://maps.google.com/maps? file=api&v=2&key=ABQIAAAA3nyJk0lXZ1crqSgYKRViChT2yXp_ZAY8_ufC3CFXhHIE1NvwkxSf- X98DdSEw091ZNJ7NLxTw7Y3Gw It appears there may be something wrong with the loader in the former piece of code, but I tried replacing the first script which specifies the source and key with the second that specifies the source, key, and api version, and it lacks the 'setOnLoadCallback' function. I tried toggling the version numbers between 2 and 2.x on both of them. I also removed the 'google.load' after replacing the script, since it also lacks the function and it's really superfluous at that point, anyway.
