yup, not quoted

yup, went through and did the install and such

 {
                        module: 'MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic',
                        position: 'bottom_left',
                        config: {
                                key: '< my key>',
                                lat: < my lat>,
                                lng: < my long>,
                                height: '300px',
                                width: '300px'
                                styledMapType: "transparent",
                                disableDefaultUI: true,
                                backgroundColor: 'hsla(0, 0%, 0%, 0)',
                                markers: [
                                        {
                                                lat: <my lat>,
                                                lng: <my long>,
                                                fillColor: '#9966ff'
                                        },
                                ],
                        },
                },

yea, that’s the one I’m trying. I just tried that module only and it’s not working. I ran the install again and it is warning about grunt styles not being installed. Seems like it’s missing parts.

Hi Sam,

ok, got it all running and it is working. Your script works very well. I tried adding MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic as well and that seems to kill the mirror. It says it can’t find the config file. As long as I leave that out, it’s working.

@sdetweil

cool, I just want a couple modules so hopefully won’t b a problem. It’s flashing now so I’ll reach out after it’s running and installed

ok, I’ll try it, but I may need to grab another pi. Not sure the zero can handle the full version

@sdetweil

np, I appreciate all the help. Here are the results:
