Two plugins use google maps; maps sometimes work, sometimes don't

    I’m using two plugins that utilize google maps – Events Manager and Geolocation. Below is a link to a page where maps from both plugins are displayed.

    http://leslies.angiemeekerdesigns.com/events/event/osu-wexner-center-market-2/

    SOMETIMES the maps are both displayed properly, and sometimes they’re not. Sometimes the map in the content area (pulling from Events Manager) will show as a grey box “loading” indefinitely. Sometimes it will show, centered in the correct area, but without its marker. At the same time, sometimes the map in the sidebar will show properly – while other times it will show with the map itself pushed 15 pixels or so to the right and down from its container, with or without its place marker, but again centered properly.

    I know its obviously a conflict between the two plugins, or a javascript conflict with the theme itself, but I’m not sure where to start addressing a fix for it – especially since on some loads it works, and other others it doesn’t (not even specific to certain browsers or posts/pages… just randomly upon refresh it will work or not work).

    Any thoughts?

    I suggest that you determine the error first by using firebug (for firefox) or error console so that you know where to start or change to default wp theme and leave the two plugins active and other deactivated.

    may be a JS conflict if both plugins try to load google maps scripts… one fix may be to disable the other plugin from loading the maps script (ours loads it dynamically via JS, so harder to disable)
