Error when trying to open a map in a report

Hi Admins

I wanted to have a look at the map of my most recent report. When I click on "Minimap öffnen" I see the following error message. Im using Goole Chrome Version 68.0.3440.106. The bug is reproducible for all my reports.

Best regards
Sebastian

I can confirm this problem (firefox, Ubuntu) - this is quite new. Seems like google changed something here...

Google has enforced the use of API keys and a valid billing account as per July 2018: /developers.google.com/maps/billing/important-updates

Basically, we cannot pay them.

Since July Google Maps are no more free, so first 30000 views
are free then you have to pay. 30000 views is about what we have in average monthly, but in August there are more views so it happens already.

In Switzerland they accept credit cards only.
So, we tried to pay, but google won't accept our "PostFinance MasterCard Value" card because it's a prepaid card! We contacted google and there is no other way to pay them in Switzerland (in some other countries you can pay using a bank account) It's not even mentioned anywhere on their site, you just get an error after you enter the credit card number.

We are looking now what to do. By the way, September 1st it should be back anyways.

Grundsätzlich können wir Google nicht bezahlen.

Seit Juli sind Google Maps nicht mehr kostenlos, also erstmal 30000 Aufrufe
sind frei dann muss man bezahlen. Bei 30000 Views handelt es sich um durchschnittliche Monatsraten, aber im August gibt es mehr Views, also passiert es schon.

In der Schweiz akzeptiert Google nur Kreditkarten.
Also haben wir versucht zu bezahlen, aber Google akzeptiert unsere "PostFinance MasterCard Value" -Karte nicht, weil es eine Prepaid-Karte ist! Wir haben uns mit Google in Verbindung gesetzt und es gibt keine andere Möglichkeit, sie in der Schweiz zu bezahlen (in einigen anderen Ländern können Sie mit einem Bankkonto bezahlen). Es wird nirgends auf ihrer Website erwähnt, man erhaltet nur einen Fehler, nachdem man die Kreditkartennummer eingegeben habt.

Wir schauen jetzt was zu tun ist. Übrigens sollte es am 1. September sowieso zurück sein.

Hi Stani

Thanks for the explanation. Unfortunately, the bug is still here and today it's September, 2nd. Maybe the reason is a different one?

I suggest to switch to open streetmap and using the leaflet JavaScript API to access the maps and overlaying the wanted data. Of course the API is totally different from the Google Maps API, but the implementation is fairly straight forward.
It is possible to use the different maps of them OSM-World. Beside the default streetmap, the open cylcle map and the open topo map are good to be used.
The change has to be made in the code of the website, users can not change the still existing google map error.

Scheint zur Zeit wieder das gleiche Problem zu geben...

The strange thing is that at some periods of the day it seems to work, but other times it doesn't work.

Kann es sein, dass deshalb keine Wegpunkte mehr angelegt werden können?

Hab's grad für einen Entwurf mal ausprobiert - es geht durchaus, und zwar auf dem ganz normalen Weg!

Die Fehlermeldung aus dem Eingangspost in der Karte hab ich natürlich auch

Ok, danke für die Rückmeldung. Bei mir waren die angelegten Wegpunkte einen Tag später nicht mehr zu finden. Komisch.
