2 days ago, I was working on a project that involves google maps. The website showed the maps on the pages just fine.
Now, I come back to my workstation, nothing has changed, expect for the fact that the google maps won't show up anymore. The code is identical, nobody has touched my machine since I was gone, I've checked the html, everything is perfect and still this isn't working... The Javascript console is giving no errors and the code is identical to a backup I make everytime I call it a day. 2 days ago it was working, today it isn't.
I've even copied the source code, put it into an html file and tried that, but the same result. I'm at a loss here. This is my code:
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
var map;
var directionsPanel;
var directions;
function initialize() {
if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {
map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map"));
map.addControl(new GLargeMapControl());
map.addControl(new GScaleControl());
map.addControl(new GMapTypeControl());
//the route description
directionsPanel = document.getElementById("route");
directions = new GDirections(map, directionsPanel);
directions.load({COMMAND});
}
}
//]]>
</script>
The {COMMAND} is something that the PHP template will parse, I've checked it, the format is 100% correct and like I allready said, code now is identical to the backup, and if it worked back then, it should work now.
Did google update their API overnight and did a function that I use here become deprecated? I don't know what's going on here...
