I am using Google Satellite map on an application. It was working fine and suddenly the map images start not showing. Instead of the terrain images, the map is showing the message "Sorry, we have no imagery here".
It is happening on my office IP and other testers' IPs. If I access from another IP or mobile data it works and shown the satellite images. I am not sure if google blocks IPs in case of continuous access on the maps.
Also I am able to see a lot of errors accessing the images
While clicking on the links for loading images, I am getting an error page like below instead of the map tile image.
Any clues on this issue is appreciated
To avoid showing these errors, in case they are due to the use of a zoom level that is too high for the area you are viewing, you can use the MaxZoomService. Kindly note that the below code snippet doesn't work because apparently access to the service without an API key is not possible.
Copy the code and test it with a working API key.
var map, maxZoomService;
function initialize() {
maxZoomService = new google.maps.MaxZoomService();
var myLatLng = new google.maps.LatLng(0, 0);
var mapOptions = {
zoom: 15,
center: myLatLng,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.SATELLITE
};
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map-canvas"), mapOptions);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: myLatLng,
map: map
});
google.maps.event.addListenerOnce(map, 'idle', function() {
checkZoom();
});
google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'zoom_changed', function() {
checkZoom();
});
}
function checkZoom() {
let zoom = map.getZoom();
maxZoomService.getMaxZoomAtLatLng(map.getCenter(), function(response) {
if (response.status !== 'OK') {
alert('maxZoomService error: ' + response.status);
document.getElementById('max-zoom').innerHTML = 'n/a';
document.getElementById('max-zoom-service').innerHTML = response.status;
} else {
if (response.zoom < zoom) {
map.setZoom(response.zoom);
document.getElementById('max-zoom').innerHTML = response.zoom;
document.getElementById('max-zoom-service').innerHTML = response.status;
}
}
document.getElementById('curr-zoom').innerHTML = map.getZoom();
});
}
initialize();
#map-canvas {
height: 130px;
}
span {
font-weight: bold;
}
<div id="map-canvas"></div>
Current Zoom Level: <span id="curr-zoom"></span><br>
Max Zoom Level: <span id="max-zoom"></span><br>
Max Zoom Service Status: <span id="max-zoom-service"></span>
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=AIzaSyCkUOdZ5y7hMm0yrcCQoCvLwzdM6M8s5qk"></script>
If the zoom level is not the issue, make sure that you are using a valid API key. In any case, it might be worth creating a new key and trying again with that one. If that still doesn't work, I would try to contact Google directly with more information as it might be that your network IP or IP range was banned by Google for some reason.
I know this is an old question but, I recently got this error too. So, the problem, in my case was the version of the API script I was using.
I'm answering this because I didn't found this solution over here, so, just in case someone was getting the same error.
Just adding v=3.35 (version number) to the url and it works.
Example: https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.35&key=API_KEY...
They explain here:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/versions#an-update-affected-my-application
Thank you for all the response and I was able to find and fix the real issue. Adding the details here for reference.
I have contacted Google support with the request details and they were able to figure out the exact problem. The reason is their image servers are blocking the request from this project (hybrid mobile project - Android) since it found out that there are invalid request is also coming from the project. The invalid request is referred to as the requests without proper header information.
Based on that information, I could find out that a caching mechanism in the project was trying to cache the images and that is which sends the invalid requests. Adding proper header to that cache mechanism solved the issue forever.

I'm building a site for a customer who wants a map on their "About Us" page showing their locations. I have the map working and fully functional on the desktop site (www.al-van.org/jake/aboutUs.html) using the Google Maps Javascript API. Everything is going good but when I try to view the site on my android device, I just get an "Oops something went wrong see the error console for more technical information" which doesn't help me a whole lot. I can't seem to figure out what is going on and why it won't work on mobile. I need to use the Javascript API because the client wants 2 locations on the map and the embed api won't do that. Here is my JS, the HTML is a simple div with a bootstrap framework.
<script>
function initMap()
{
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
zoom: 16,
center: {lat: 42.389795, lng: -86.258617},
styles: [
{elementType: 'geometry'},
{elementType: 'labels.text.stroke'},
{elementType: 'labels.text.fill'}
]
});
// array used to label markers.
var labels = 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ';
// Add some markers to the map.
var markers = locations.map(function(location, i) {
return new google.maps.Marker({
position: location,
label: labels[i % labels.length]
});
});
// Add a marker clusterer to manage the markers.
var markerCluster = new MarkerClusterer(map, markers, {imagePath:
'googlemaps/m'});
}
var locations = [
{lat: 42.390337, lng: -86.259642},
{lat: 42.388635, lng: -86.257246}
]

After working with Google Support, it seems that the issue is in the way that the android Chrome puts in the website. I had explicitly set my allowed HTTP referrers all including www.blahblahblah.com and various variations using wildcards. What I DID NOT DO was include a wildcard in place of the "www" When I placed my wildcard as blahblah.com it allowed it to work on the mobile phone. For some reason, unless you explicitly type "www.example.com" into your android Chrome browser, it will not auto-fill the "www." This is what solved my issue, I hope it helps in the future.
Your API key is invalid for the domain, or is over it's quota limit.
Go here: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key
To get an API key for the domain you are using.
I am using the Google Maps JavaScript API in combination with an api key. This works great for some hours or days, but after a specific intervall I get the following 403 error and the map is gone:
I don't know where the problem is because I didn't have reached the 25.000 requests per day yet. If I reset the api key and reload the page the map is loading correctly again, but I don't wanna reset the api key again and again.
As you can see I am using a custom map, but I don't think that the code is the problem, but here is the code:
(function(window, google){
var infoWindow = null;
function init() {
var map;
var mapOptions = {
zoom: 12,
scrollwheel: false,
center: new google.maps.LatLng(
51.050409,
13.737262
),
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
map = new google.maps.Map(
document.getElementById('map'),
mapOptions
);
setMarkers(map, locations);
infoWindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
content: "holding..."
});
}
function setMarkers(map, locations) {
var i, icon, marker, contentString;
for (i = 0; i < locations.length; i++) {
icon = '../Images/icn-marker.png';
contentString = '<div><b>' + locations[i][0] + '</b><br>' + locations[i][1] + '<br>' + locations[i][4] + '</div>';
marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: new google.maps.LatLng(locations[i][2], locations[i][3]),
map: map,
title: locations[i][0],
icon: icon,
html: contentString
});
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
infoWindow.setContent(this.html);
infoWindow.open(map, this);
});
}
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', init);
})(window, google);
Any my script include looks like the following:
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=MYAPIKEY"></script>
<script src="http://example.de/example/map.js"></script>
Hope you can help, because I dont' know where the problem is.
The 403 error response indicate that your API key is not valid or was not included in the request. Please enxure that you have included the entire key and that you have enabled the API for this key.
Also, check your usage limit, if you exceed the usage limits or otherwise abuse the service, the web service will return a specific error message. If you continue to exceed limits, your access to the web service may be blocked. It is also possible to receive 403 Forbidden responses.
The problem can be address by combining two approaches:
Lowering usage, by optimizing applications to use the web services more efficiently.
Increasing usage limits, when possible, by purchasing additional allowance for your Google Maps API for Work license.
Note:
When requests fail, you should ensure that you retry requests with exponential backoff. For example, if a request fails once, retry after a second, if it fails again, retry after two seconds, then four seconds, and so on. This ensures that broken requests or wide scale failures do not flood Google’s servers, as many clients try to retry requests very quickly.

I have been looking at the google maps html5/javascript code and am attempting to make a app which finds someone current location through longitude and latitude then geo reverses it to give then their address. However when i run the code it just gives a blank screen. I am really new to html5 and if anyone could point to me what i am doing wrong i would be really grateful.
the error is geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder(): must be geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
By default, navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition() has a timeout value of infinite. In the getCurrentPosition's options parameter, specify a timeout value and I think you will find that is where your error lies.
... }, function() {
handleNoGeolocation(true);
}, { timeout: 4000 });
I would like to add geolocation to the mobile version of my
map located at http://alert.fcd.maricopa.gov/alert/Google/v3/mobile.html.
My map loads through this JavaScript file
http://alert.fcd.maricopa.gov/alert/Google/v3/js/mobilemap_v3.js. You
will notice that line 46 of this file is -
map = new google.maps.Map($('#map_canvas')[0],myOptions);
I have tried the Geolocation example at https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/map-geolocation and the W3 HTML5 Geolocation method at http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_geolocation.asp. But my map loads through jquery and doesn’t use
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-canvas'),
mapOptions);
like all the examples.
I can get the geolocation to work if I replace the $ in line 46 with
document.getElementById but then none of my sensors/makers will
display.
Does anyone know how I could get the geolocation working with my
markers/data still loading?
Found an answer to this! I used geolocationmarker-compiled.js (at http://code.google.com/p/google-maps-utility-library-v3/source/browse/trunk/geolocationmarker/src/geolocationmarker-compiled.js?r=379) and then added
var GeoMarker;
GeoMarker = new GeolocationMarker();
GeoMarker.setCircleOptions({
fillColor: '#808080'});
google.maps.event.addListenerOnce(GeoMarker, 'position_changed', function() {
map.setCenter(this.getPosition());
map.fitBounds(this.getBounds());
});
google.maps.event.addListener(GeoMarker, 'geolocation_error', function(e) {
alert('There was an error obtaining your position. Message: ' + e.message);
});
GeoMarker.setMap(map);
and it works great. Mobile map with Geolocation working is located at http://alert.fcd.maricopa.gov/alert/Google/v3/mobile.html and the geolocation code in in the mobilemap_v3.js file if anyone is looking to do the same thing.
function onPositionUpdate(position) {
var lat = position.coords.latitude;
var lng = position.coords.longitude;
var markerPoint = new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lng);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: markerPoint,
map: map,
title: 'Your Location'
});
}
function button_clicked() {
if (navigator.geolocation)
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(onPositionUpdate);
else
alert("navigator.geolocation is not available");
}
This code is running correctly and shows user location. when I try this at home this shows correct address but when I try this at another location this code doesn't show correct address. why? I dont know how this code run exactly(does this code define for IP or other information)
You can check if another program can find you. If not, it might be that its not your code which is incorrect:
http://html5demos.com/geo
Some security measures might cause that the client won't share location informations automatically.
Have you tried :
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(onPositionUpdate() );
Not sure if your callback has to have brackets or not. It's something I would try.
I also noticed that geolocation takes a little while to narrow down the approximation to a smaller radius. Might have to call position update.
