How can I solve the issue of my custom Google map not rendering when I input the scripts into the custom code section of Webflow?
If your custom Google map is not rendering after adding the necessary scripts to the custom code section of Webflow, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can take to solve the issue:
Verify the correctness of the scripts: Double-check that you have copied the complete and correct script from the Google Maps API documentation. Make sure you have included both the JavaScript API script and the initialization script.
Check for script conflicts: Sometimes, conflicts between different scripts can prevent your custom Google map from rendering. It's worth reviewing the other scripts you have on your page to see if there are any conflicts. Try removing or disabling any other custom scripts you have to see if that resolves the issue.
Ensure scripts are placed correctly: In Webflow, you should add your Google Maps API script to the Header Code section of your project settings. The initialization script should be placed in the Custom Code section of the page where you want the map to display.
Confirm API key and billing: Make sure that you have obtained a valid API key from the Google Cloud Platform Console and that it is correctly entered in the initialization script. Additionally, check that your billing is in order with Google Maps API, as sometimes an outdated billing account can cause maps to stop rendering.
Test your code on different devices and browsers: It's possible that the issue is specific to certain browsers or devices. Make sure to test your map on various devices and browsers to see if it renders correctly. You can also check the browser's console for any error messages that may provide clues about the issue.
Reach out to Webflow support or the Webflow community: If the above steps do not solve the issue, it's recommended to seek help from the Webflow support team or the Webflow community forums. They have extensive experience with the platform and may be able to provide further troubleshooting guidance.
By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the issue of your custom Google map not rendering in Webflow.
