Google Maps and Aware

Post by customaware »

I am curious about a few issues with Google Maps in Aware.

1. It seems Google have changed something recently in so much as a Google Map in aware does not show up properly in the dev environment. On my Server it is fine but locally I am getting this...

Can anyone confirm the same or suggest how to fix it?

2. How do others set their Google Maps API key in Aware. Adding the API Key directly to the aware.js file or adding a <script> line to the startup.html file.

Seems to me that it MUST be in the aware.js file to use the Aware IM implementation of Google Maps. But if you are using js to implement a Google Map on a Form then it needs to be in the startup.html file. Which leads to
another issue.... You cannot have both?

Would be interested in some comments.

Additionally.... Would be great in a future version (8.2) to have some repository to place you API keys so that they do not have to added back in every time you do an update.
Cheers,
Mark

Did you find out where to put it in the aware.js file. I just ran into it today and it says not to use the one in the system setting as that is obsolete? Mark F
