# [Plugin: Better WP Security] Google Maps API

 * The plugin strips the query string from the Google Maps API Javascript when it
   is enqueued which breaks Google Maps. This is the error message that can be found
   in the browser console log.
 * The Google Maps API server rejected your request. The “sensor” parameter specified
   in the request must be set to either “true” or “false”.

 * Here’s [another report](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-simplemap-store-locator-only-works-when-logged-in?replies=2)
   of this problem. You may also need to disable the “Filter suspicious query strings”
   option.
 * Bit51, can you create a whitelist of popular URLs that are known to be safe?

 * Same issue, tnx [@alex80ks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alex80ks/) for
   the solution! I do not need to disable the “Filter suspicious query strings” 
   option, just unchecked option “Generate random version number”. A fix should 
   be great!

 * Doesn’t work for me. Using the Estate theme with IDX plugin, it doesn’t show 
   the map at all with the plugin enabled. Unchecking ALL of the tweaks, removes
   the error message, but also hides the map…

 * Seems only disabling the plugin helps…
