Issue with Google Map MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic module. Map not loading.

[ramyasadagopan]

I am using the module MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic to show a general traffic in my area (not origin - destination traffic).

I have 2 issues -

1. On load the map with traffic shows for a exactly 2 seconds and immediately shows an error ‘Ops something went wrong’

2. I have a CTA module which works fine on its own. But when the map has an issue, the CTA module also fails for some reason. But this is not a consistent behavior. It also shows just fine even when the map doesn’t load.

NEED HELP with the map issue first though.

here is my config (switched 2 letters to protect my API key). I have created 2 different API keys and tried with both.

{
		            module: "MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic",
		            position: "bottom_right",
			    config: {
					 
                                 key:"AIzaSyCeqG6JjCx3zIByDq81hJB9mrzhvK_GgOE",
					lat: 41.8816281,
			                lng: -87.6608605,
			                height: "300px",
			                width: "300px",
					mapTypeId: "roadmap",
			                styledMapType: "transparent",
			                disableDefaultUI: "true",
					updateInterval: "60000",
			                backgroundColor: "hsla(0, 0%, 0%, 0)",
			                markers: [
			                    {
			                        lat: 41.8816281,
			               		lng: -87.6608605,
			                        fillColor: "#9966ff"
		                    	    },
		                	 	 ]
		                    }
       		},

Any thoughts?

I am having this same issue - did you ever find a resolution to this?

I am having the same issue as well. Google Maps in general seems to be an issue here with the MagicMirror recently, and there have been no answers…

[sdetweil]

i don’t know how this ever worked… unless a newer version of javascript closed some bug…

i have a quick fix

git clone my repo

git clone https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic.git

also, at least for the 1st user, there is an invalidkeymap error
(open developers window, ctrl-shift-i, select the console tab. scroll up for errors)

@sdetweil Thanks, but that didnt work for me unfortunately…

To make sure I did it correctly, I navigated to my MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic module, and then executed your git clone, correct?

I am still getting the same error.

What I am not understanding at the moment, is all the modules I use that use the Google API are not working now. This is where I am not seeing any solutions anywhere.

I didnt quite understand your instructions for the first user…maybe that is my issue as well?

Thanks…

[sdetweil]

@Achilles no… rename the old module folder out of the way

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
mv MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic  MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic-save
git clone https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic.git.
cd ~/MagicMirror

no other changes are required

there is an error…
i described how to locate the error yourself

on the mirror screen , using a keyboard,
press ctrl-shift-i (all together) to open the developers window
then select the tab at the top of that window labeled ‘console’,
then using a mouse or keyboard, scroll the console window up to see previous messages that have scrolled off the screen…

errors are shown in red text

maybe there is an account problem where the credit card used for payment is no longer valid?
i don’t know… all my google api apps are working ok

@sdetweil Thank you for the timely responses!

I am working on your replies right now. Thank you very much!

[Achilles]

@sdetweil Thanks, it was my API…the free trial had expired with Google Cloud. I fixed that, and everything is working again…

Thanks a lot, man!
