Winlog32 Forums

Hi,

I am using the maps api without problems for a long time. Actually I get the following error message:
An error has occured in the script on this page
Line: 2
Char: 279
Error: Could not get the display prperty. Invalid argument
Code: 0

After answering the questions, whether I want to continue running scripts on the page a second window shows up:
Line: 0
Char: 0
Error: script error
code: 0
URL: http://maps.gstatic.com/maps-api-v3/api ... LL/main.js

Then again the above question comes up an dafter asnwering yes, the first message appersa again. After that the maps window opens with the headline:
ERROR: -2147352319 Could not complete the operation due to error 80020101

Any idea what happened? Is this a problem of the maps api or is it in my system? I did not change anything on my computer.

Hi Gerald

The problem is with the API.

It looks like the v2 API has just stopped working, I knew that this would be a matter of time, as v2 has been deprecated for some years.

I am looking into this, but in any case it will require changes in the code in the earth.htm file and acquiring an new API key for v3.

Will get back to you.

I can confirm that the old maps API is no longer going to work due to changes in the Google API

BUT I have made some good progress with this.

It will require code changes to the script in the 'earth.htm' file

A new API key generated (for V3 API)

Changes to Winlog32 code.

This is all in hand.

Hi Colin,

it is good to know that nothing is wrong with my system. Hopefully you can handle that issue. Meanwhile I operate without maps

Gerald
Did you get my email with fix etc.?

Hi Colin,

yes, I got it but haven´t found time to test it. I will have a look during the weekend.

Just a note, The maps didn't work for me but I did the update and everything is fine now. Most of my trouble is with my internet provider.

Hi all,

seems that the old problem appeared again. Maps worked perfectly for a long time. Now maps stopped again. Even after upgrading to Vers. 6.3.1 no more maps here.

Hi Gerald

It stopped working when google released a experimental API version a few days ago, possible bug, not sure but the answer is below.

In the javascript file edit - near the beginning of the script, the line that starts

<script type=......

edit the bit ....v=3.exp..... to .......v=3.21....

This directs to the previous stable version of the API.

Hi Colin,

many thanks for the advice, but I had that already in my "earth.htm". I can see the map for a short period after starting WL32. Than it disappears, while clicking on the "+" or "-" the map is shortly visible just after releasing the zoom button, after that again white screen. Any idea what happened?
