]]>I have installed the plugin on a local server for test purposes, installation seems to be successful (no error messages, plugin settings are available)
I have a test post with some images including gps data, but there is no map visible, not even space for the map display shows up.
If I switch off the pugin, the shortcode [mapimage] shows up in the post, but disappears when the plugin is switched on, so I think something
I use the same API key for another (working) map plugin – could this be the reason?
Do the thumbnail images need to have GPS data as well or only the full size image?
Upon entering my brand new google maps api key I received this message.
