This plugin is useful but not yet fully compatible with the block widgets editor:
Function wp_enqueue_script() was called incorrectly. “wp-editor” script should not be enqueued together with the new widgets editor (wp-edit-widgets or wp-customize-widgets).?
I hope you can find the time to fix this as this so far appears to be the best google maps block plugin available.
