Don’t use white spaces in filenames. Use only lowercase letters (also for. gpx instead of .GPX). Name your link (between the start an end a-tag), like any other link… * Thread Starter [jabash](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jabash/) * (@jabash) * [18 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-started-2-2/#post-684359) * OK, I now get a blank box for the map and a error message telling my the api key is for a different directory. I also get an error message on the post saying javascript must be enabled but I do have it enabled on Firefox. * Thread Starter [jabash](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jabash/) * (@jabash) * [18 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-started-2-2/#post-684363) * Another question.
