Hi. I have this strange problem.
I am trying to configure the googlemap module. If I change the default location for 'locate via map' function then I can't get any map anywhere. All I get is that little text explaining how to navigate with pointers in the map. But no map!
I even tryed to changed only the zoom level (the level is 17 by default and the location is deep african jungle - no use for 99% of people) but I get the same problem. I guess is a bug. Anyone had the same problem?
P.S.: another stragne thing: by default I have no values in location and zoom field! But if I say locate via map I have -12,20 and zoom 17. Strange...
Gallery version 2.1.1

Well the first thing seems to definitively be a bug ... I'll look into it
The second thing is actually "normal behaviour" I had hard coded those value in before and I never thought of changing them when the module migrated to API v2 for google
The reason for hard coding is that if you have no values in the field and try to do a "get via map" it will need to have some center/zoomlevel to display anything. So I need some fallback values and those are the ones for now. The value will be changed in the next version of the module

First of all thanks for the wonderful job you did. Then, I told you about the hard coded values because I thought it might be some bad reading from wrong variables. It happened to me a lot so I'm very paranoid about it
Again, you did a wonderful job. Thank you.
