Without a start point the map indeed default to the equator near Africa.
The start field is still grey even after entering the browser api key? Can you try to clear the browser cache. Any errors that show up in the browser console?
Thanks – I checked the console for errors and figured out what was going on. For some reason, in the Google API Browser Key settings, doing a wildcard like *.mydomainname.com/* doesn’t work. The browser key referrer list has to have each specific full page URL for front end and for Admin panel. So, adding http://www.mydomainname.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=wpsl_stores&page=wpsl_settings to the Google API Browser Key referrer list will get that Starting Point setting to work.
@myhreco I had issues with the referrer list as well in the past. One thing that worked ( strangely ), was simply deleting the key and creating a new one. It sometimes doesn’t seem to process the provided referrer, as if it’s cached somewhere.
They provide *.mydomainname.com/* as an example, so you would expect that to work.
Same error here, there si some problem with the API key I try changing the *.mydomainname.com/* part but nothing works… in Yoast are seeing that their plugin had a lot of broken code by the new changes on the Map API….. is there any updates or something else to make it work ?.
Thanks
@Jamonzito … try leaving the wildcard in the browser API Key settings, and also add each page. I had all in there and everything started working. And It was easy to identify which URLs needed to be added to the browser key just by going to the page that has a problem using the Google Chrome browser, view the JavaScript console, and the error message will give you the URL that the Google API isn’t allowing. Also, when making changes to the browser API Key settings in your Google account, the changes don’t take effect immediately – for me it typically took anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes for setting updates to take effect.

SOLUTION: The google console specifically shows the format for this. But it is WRONG.
Instead of *./domain.ext/* use: http://domain.ext/*
Or try domain.com/* ?
