Hi everybody,

I am making a custom Google Maps control for umbraco backend, that enables you to search for a geographical location in the umbraco backend. But I'm having some problems when I deploy the project to a live site.

First of all the map doesn't display in the umbraco backend as Google doesn't accept the registration key, which dows work in the site frontend.

Below are some screenshots of the error I get:




Below is how it is supposed to look:


The weird thing is that it does work when I test it on my local machine the map displays. Even though it is offset by about 100px up and left.

You can download the source here:
Source code

You can set the Google maps API key in the web.config file.

I hope you can help me with this issue and maybe you can use the control in projescts as well :o)

If we can isolate the error please send me the proposed changes, so I can make the final control available to everyone :o)

Hi Kim,

just wanted to tip you off with a already built Google Maps control with full Ajax capabilities and lots of potential for expanding the functionality.

Check out http://samples.gaiaware.net/LiveMapsMashup.aspx

Access it through C# or VB.NET, don't have to struggle with JavaScript when consuming the control.
Gaia Ajax works GREAT with Umbraco!
The sourcecode is available here: http://gaiaware.net/download

Best regards
