[The emulator has a Google Maps API key error and crashes]

You're referring to this post, right? This one works for me. If it doesn't work for you, I'll host the files elsewhere.

Yes, I am. Strangely they do work now. Thanks for helping (if you can call it so)

[The emulator has a Google Maps API key error and crashes]

Here's another try at converting the maps to Google Maps v3. I fixed the zooming from the context menu and I also made the map zoom to the proper level when first starting a game. I'll hide my other reply with the v3 map so people don't mistakenly download that. Let me know if this works out for you. If you see another error, please tell me what you were doing right before the error message popped up. I have the v3 map set up to be a little verbose with the errors so I can fix them as we encounter them.

 

Every time I update the files, I'll hide the previous post with the files and post all files and instructions in my new post. That way there won't be any confusion.

 

The files

Instructions: Choose one of the files attached:

map_v2.zip - I gave the original Google Maps v2 an API key, fixing this issue. At some point, Google will require everyone to be on at least v3 of their maps, so this will only work until then. But this file is at least guaranteed to work.

map_v3.zip - I converted the Google Maps to v3. The emulator injects script into the maps page, so I have some code set up to rewrite the injected script into v3. If it tries to pass something I haven't anticipated, I have it set to show an error. This will help if you continue to report the errors you see and what you're doing.

map_v3_fox_avatar.zip - This is the same as map_v3.zip, but I modified it for fun to include my volunteer avatar for the heck of it. Instead of showing David your cartridge, you can show me! I come with two hiking poles, ready to tackle any terrain, yet dressed spiffy to have a night out on the town. (In other words, I was having fun with the map file.)

 

The instructions

1. Download and extract the map.html file from the zip file attached to this reply.
   
2. Go to your Program Files directory (or, if you have a 64-bit computer, Program Files (x86)).
   
3. Go into folders Groundspeak, Wherigo, Builder. (For Urwigo, you may have to go elsewhere.)
   
4. Copy everything you unzipped into this folder, replacing what's there.
   
5. If you have the emulator open, close and relaunch it. You do not have to close Groundspeak's builder or Urwigo.

Edit: I copied the Google Maps v2 zip file to this post and edited the file attachment explanation.

 

The links don't work anymore. Each one gives me error [#10173] We could not find the attachment you were attempting to view.

Could anyone upload new ones?

 

Thanks
