Can't Update 'Start Point' in Settings & Map Not Displaying

Google requires a browser key since the 22th of June. Are you using the latest plugin version?

If so then create a browser key here and set it on the settings page.

If you go here, then on the overview page go to the Google Maps JavaScript API page and make sure the button on the top of the page says ‘Disable’. If it says ‘Enable’ then click on it.

What are the errors that show up in the browser console?

The input field for the start point is grey? You are using the latest plugin version?

Oh sorry, yes, latest version. And yes the input field for starting point is grey and on top of the settings it says (with a red line): Geef de naam van een stad of land op als start locatie onder de “Kaart Instellingen”.

Deze locatie wordt alleen maar gebruikt als het automatische achterhalen van de gebruikers locatie mislukt, of het automatische achterhalen is uitgeschakeld.

You did set a browser key, and flush the browser cache? The error in the console shows up on the settings page, or front-end?

If you view the source of the settings page ( ctrl + u ), and search ( ctrl + f ) for ‘maps.google.com’ the key= part is included?

Unless I know the exact error that Google returns in the console, I can’t help resolve it.

A greyed out start box means Google has a problem with the set browser key ( missing / invalid / expired etc ), and the error is send to the console. Without checking the console, it could be any of them.

Thanks, please see my console error report here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11562716/Screen%20Shot%202016-07-10%20at%2012.01.56%20PM.png

The API Browser Key is missing.

Did you create a browser key, and set it on the settings page? You are using the latest version?

If after setting the browser key, you still get errors from Google Maps, then first try to disable all other plugins for a second, and switch back to a default theme to make sure there is no conflict. Then check if the start location field does work, and check the type of errors that show up in the console again.
