Embedded google maps disappear upon launch

First of all - amazing product! I am still going through the enormous amount of features.
I am now trying to create an ibooks author widget to display an embedded google map in my ibook. I have done it according to the instructions described in your help page, but I must be doing something wrong - when I double click on the widget, the map loads, but inmediately dissapears, showing just the background layer (and there's no turning back). I have not touched any settings, nor added any styles. I have only added the embed code inside the html layer.
Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong? It's probably just a newbie mistake, but I am completely lost. Any ideas will be deeply appreciated.
Thanks for reading.

Do you have any restrictions on Google's use of cookies or local storage? Do you notice any different logged in vs. logged out of your Google account? Have you tested with your extensions disabled?
I was going to suggest zoom, but it sounds as though you have reset zoom. Note that when Google Maps is framed, the reset might not drill down into the framed page; I should test that.
These threads were along the zoom lines, but not resolved. Might be something here you haven't tried?

Issue in Develop mode for embedding google map

Hello,
I am facing an interesting issue in Develop mode for embedding google map html code (screenshot is attached)
The map rectangle showing almost same size box underneath filled in black, while in preview mode, it is working properly. I could not find the reason, where I am doing something wrong.
Many thanks .

Hi Muzeone,
Its a default behavior with every WYSIWYG HTML Designer or editor,
Reason :The black box which is appearing in the design view is because you might have tried increasing the size of the iframe thumbnail.
If you are using Iframe and using Insert HTML feature in MUSE, make sure when you paste the iframe code in MUSE, it creates a thumbnail in design view do not resize it in design view.
Size does not change the height and width of Iframe in MUSE as its being controlled by the codes that you are inserting.
The design view will only show you iframe height which is defined in the codes below that it will show a black box.
Enjoy working with MUSE !!
Thanks

When using the iPad 2 to browse the National Weather Service the embedded Google map can not accurately point to the correct location when tapped. Is there a solution?

For example, using the iPad to check various locations around Davis, ca on the NWS website, the embedded google map is grossly off location.
http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?CityName=Davis&state=CA&site=STO&textFi eld1=38.545&textField2=-121.739&e=1
Then, using the ipad, if I tap on Sacramento, I get a location to the southeast near Angel's Camp.
This problem occurs also on embedded map at summitpost.org. Same problem (Also a Google map). Tap on a point and it displays info of an area off of where I was looking.
Thanks!

Same problem with iPhone. Use to work with an earlier version of Operating System.

The website may alter its page display based on the browser ID that is transmitted to the site from your browser. Some browsers on the iPad like iCab allow you change the browser ID to something desktop-oriented. Safari does not provide this capability.

Error "a plugin is needed to display this content" for embedded Google map, but no plugin identified.

When I try to view a page that has a Google map embedded on the page, I get the error message "a plugin is needed to display this content". However, I don't know what plugin, where to get it, etc. I've tried searching for this issue but haven't been able to come up with anyone else experiencing a similar issue, nor does there seem to be a plugin for Google Maps that I can find.
The page is here:
http://osiama.org/lodges#
The map displays when one of the links is clicked in the table.

I'm not sure why, but the site uses <embed> for the map instead of <iframe>.
When Firefox wants to render an <embed>, it needs to know what type of object is being embedded, and the site doesn't supply that information, so you see a generic "I don't know how to handle this" error.
Unfortunately, I don't think there is a quick workaround for you as the end user. If you are the type to tinker, you can manually edit the code of the page in the web console as follows:
* right-click the plugin message and choose Inspect Element (Q) - the web console will open to the Inspector, with the <embed> element selected (screen shot #1)
* double-click embed and edit it to iframe, then press Enter to finish the edit
* Firefox will now load the map (screen shot #2)
This isn't a general fix-all for plugin errors, and ultimately the site will need to change this.

Embeded Google map (iframe) not displaying correctly after jquery .fadeIn?

Hi,
I have created a popup window that displays a Google Map after a button is clicked. The map works fine if the popup window =display:block. But as soon as you give the popup window display:none and use jquery to display the window them map doesn't load correctly.
Any help would be great.
See jsfiddle for code.
This is what the map should look like after the "Venue" button is clicked using jquery fadeIn.
Thanks

Anakin-
I'm getting a decompression error when downloading your site.
you might try...

Embedding google map in Indesign for DPS

Has something changed with the lastest update ....?
In the past, when I needed to place a embed a map, I just went to google pick up the embed code and Cmd V into Indesign. I'll see a static image but it is "live" when when tested on the iPad.
Since the update, this does not seem to work anymore... the embedded code is not a static image on on iPad during testing.
Am I the only one experience this issue? Or am I doing soehting wrong?
Thanks for any help.

Thanks Bob. I could have sworn that I downloaded the lastest update! I had just downloaded the update again and checked the dates. The last update I had was the version of 23 jan 2013. The one I just downloaded as per your advice was 30 Jan 2013. Seems to be working again!

IPod + Hard Drive disappear upon launch

Every time I launch iTunes, as soon as my iPod syncs it "ejects" itself and disappears. This makes changing which playlists to include an arduous process that has to be timed very delicately.
I'd been dealing with it, though, until I relocated my music to a new external hard drive. Now whenever I launch iTunes, both the iPod and the hard drive eject almost immediately. The hard drive gives me the "device removal" message as if it had simply been unplugged. Sometimes it lets me reconnect them after a few minutes, but other times I have to play with it for a while to get my devices to reconnect.
I've been having the problem overall for about a year now, and updates to the iTunes software haven't helped.

IMHO, using a windows utility to defrag something like an ipod, with it's own OS running at the same time, is asking for trouble. The defrag program will likely touch and maybe move most of the data on the disk, possibly including data used by the ipod's OS. If it zigs while the OS is zagging then blooie, the ipod will crash.
How to decide if the ipod is fragmented is another issue. If you do suspect\decide that the ipod's drive is fragmented then it seems to me that the safest way to defrag the thing would be to restore it using the ipod updater, then let itunes reload it completely. This should clear off the disk and resave each file in a sequential manner, which will have the effect of defragging the drive.

Purple route line in Google Maps continually disappears since iOS4 upgrade

Since upgrading to iOS4, I've noticed that the purple route line in Google Maps disappears while I'm following a route. I'm not to the destination but suddenly the purple line is gone. Touching the screen usually restores the route. Anyone else have this problem? Suggestions to correct it? I had it in both 4.0 and 4.0.1. Where can I report this? I'll post this a MacRumor with a few pics.

I am having the same problem, and it happened when I upgraded to 4. Just bought a new iPhone 4 (currently running 4.2) and still the same problem.

Google Maps in Flash

Hi, I've been researching embedding google maps in Flash and have followed the Google Maps API developers guide (after downlaoding and installing the SDK and generating a key). I'm currently using the foloowing code,m but it doesnt seem to work I'm not even seeing the map, and Im getting errors relating to the controls elements I've added. Can anyone help?
import com.google.maps.LatLng;
import com.google.maps.Map;
import com.google.maps.MapEvent;
import com.google.maps.MapType;
import com.google.maps.Controls;
var map:Map = new Map();
map.key = "ABQIAAAAdrPixq2HTFFowI9qjk74wxRIyoY1_2mmZno9JS0jJW-gT85BPRRotnr4suVY_4iicnk27GnnECcjXQ";
map.setSize(new Point(stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight));
map.addEventListener(MapEvent.MAP_READY, onMapReady);
this.addChild(map);
function onMapReady(event:Event):void {
map.addControl(new ZoomControl());
map.addControl(new PositionControl());
map.addControl(new MapTypeControl());
map.setCenter(new LatLng(53.535192,-2.00475), 14, MapType.NORMAL_MAP_TYPE);
var m:Marker = new Marker(new LatLng(53.535192,-2.00475));
map.addOverlay(m);

Hi there. I downloaded the SDK myself and managed to solve your problem. It's because of your imports.
First of all make sure the .swc file is in your library ( found in the lib folder called "map_1_18" )
(Whilst in Flash) Press Ctrl+U to open up the preferences, then go to the Actionscript category and select "AS3 settings"
Press the red button to browse to your .swc file.
Also have the SDK in your directory.
Then change your imports to this;
import com.google.maps.LatLng;
import com.google.maps.overlays.Marker;
import com.google.maps.Map;
import com.google.maps.MapEvent;
import com.google.maps.MapType;
import com.google.maps.controls.*;
You forgot to add one, and also you were importing the Controls folder and not the contents. ...And your map should debug perfectly. Happy Mapping!

Google map in scrollable tray

I've created a scrollable tray and added an embedded google map. I've placed it in a frame as a grouped object, selected the frame, and no overlay options appear.
The tray does not work as a scrolling item either.
I've done the same thing without a map and it works.
Are embedded google maps not allowable in scrolling trays?
Thanks Mike

Actually, now that you mention it, I do recall this being an issue
specifically with Google Maps though I don't recall seeing just code.
To be sure, try it without the same markup but outside of a scrolling frame.
That said, I think you may want to rethink this as an MSO perhaps.

Google map not loading in Safari

My embedded google map will not load in Safari. Will load in all other browsers just not Safari.

Google maps use embedded HTML from Google to render content served by Google.
If some of your users can't see the google map, it could be a problem connecting to the google maps site, or a browser setting that prevents google maps from displaying.
Google has some troubleshooting tips on their site:

Siebel Google Map Integration

Hi,
I was trying to display Google map as an iframe. This integration used to work earlier well and I am trying to debug this but I have heard that there has been some changes on the Google side where it is preventing Google Map to open inside other applications.
Has anybody faced such a problem ? Any conformation on this info.
Thank you :-)

Hi,
My answer for your questions is *"No"*!
