 * I’m trying to load up two JS files to just my template file ‘contact.php’. The
   function below isn’t working (its located in my functions.php file):
 *     ```
       function google_map_script() {
       	   // register your script location, dependencies and version
       	   wp_register_script('maps_script',
       	   	   'http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false',
       	       array('jquery')
       	       );
   
       	   wp_register_script('gmap_script',
       	       get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/gmap.js',
       	       array('jquery')
       	       );
   
       	   // enqueue the script
       	   wp_enqueue_script('maps_script', 'gmap_script');
       	}
   
       	if ( is_page_template( 'contact.php' ) ) add_action('init', 'google_map_script');
       ```
   
 * I’d appreciate any pointers or help at all 🙂

 * Try `add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_scripts_method');` instead of `add_action('
   init' ...` and remove that wp_enqueue() that you already have.
