there is a problem with the original module… I have a fixed version
here https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic

Do this

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

then restart the mirror app

Hello,
Thank you so much,

I got it working. I did the above…plus I was using the wrong bit of text for my API key…and had to “setup billing” on my api account apparently to allow it to work.

[sdetweil]

@mcneilp thanks for the feedback… sad how many of the apis want to charge…

Hello to all.
Many thanks to the developer for the brilliant idea!

I describe my environment:
I’m testing the various modules on a virtual machine (Virtual Box) that runs on a Windows 10 PC.
For now all modules work perfectly except MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic.

Description of the problem:
I successfully installed the module but when I launch MM I only see the classic purple Google Maps pointer and nothing else…

The configuration of the .JSON seems ok, and the API has been entered correctly.

Can you help me…?

Thank you all!

Virtualize Raspbian with Virtualbox…

[sdetweil]

@Egnos running on Intel?

I use VMware Workstation mostly.
But virtual box for a couple systems

[Egnos]

@sdetweil are there problems with Magic Mirror if using VirtualBox?

Thanks

[sdetweil]

@Egnos I don’t know. Haven’t tried that

[Egnos]

@sdetweil
What does it mean when this message appears:
“This page didn’t load Google Maps correctly”

[sdetweil]

@Egnos I do not know

[sdetweil]

@Egnos sounds like u didn’t setup the API key

Hi @sdetweil
It would seem that to have a valid API Key you need to “Enabling billing on Google Cloud Platform …”.
To receive the API Key, you need to enter a valid credit card number.

Did you do this too?
Do you agree?

Thanks.
