      For a long time a had the issue that MagicMirror freezes after a couple of hours. Finally I found out that after disabling the module GoogleMapsTrafic the error won’t occur.

      In the console the module produces 2 errors:

      js?key=xxxxxxxxxx:121 You have included the Google Maps JavaScript API multiple times on this page. This may cause unexpected errors.
      sh @ js?key= xxxxxxxxxx:121
      Ah @ js?key= xxxxxxxxxx:119
      google.maps.Load @ js?key= xxxxxxxxxx:18
      (anonymous) @ js?key= xxxxxxxxxx:208
      (anonymous) @ js?key= xxxxxxxxxx:208
      
      MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic.js:77 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of undefined
          at HTMLScriptElement.script.onload (MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic.js:77)
      script.onload @ MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic.js:77
      

      My config is quite simple and I couldn’t find a way to avoid these errors.

      {
              	module: 'MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic',
      	      	position: 'center',
              	config: {
                      	key: 'xxxxxxxxxx',
                      	lat: 52.5202362,
                      	lng: 13.3663832,
                      	height: '800px',
                      	width: '780px',
      			zoom: 12,
      			updateInterval: 300000, //5 Minuten
      			styledMapType: 'standard',
                      	disableDefaultUI: true,
      			}
      },
      

      Does anybody experiences this problem?
      Every help is highly appreciated.

          I suspected this module for a while already but I never bothered to get into it. Whenever somebody reported random crashes after some hours they used the MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic module. In my case it is enough to run a cronjob once a day to reload the mirror.

              I have the same issue. When I boot up the Magic Mirror in debug mode npm start dev & but the Chrome console tab tells me this nasty thing:

              "You have included the Google Maps JavaScript API multiple times on this page." 
              "This may cause unexpected errors."
              

              However, everything looks perfectly nice on my MagicMirror.
              All modules are successfully loaded, including “MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic”.

              But on the next day, the latest my screen is entirely black.
              It’s exactly the same thing as reported in this thread.

                @drfukc it appears the api had trouble, and the module did not handle the error

                  yes, that’s the case, the module is running fine until it turns the monitor black (after several hours).
                  There are more people in different threads having the same issue.
                  The module author does not seem to respond.
                  My workaround is a regular cron job restarting the MagicMirror.

                        anybody want to try my updates

                        1. load script once, once dom created
                        2. improve process , handle lost config error

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

                        rename your existing folder out of the way
                        then, from MM/modules folder, git clone my repo, and restart MM
                        no changes to module config
