ReferenceError: google is not defined

Question

I use google map's api in my website to show couple of locations. Google Maps is working just fine in my local solution but not in my website. I changed this source

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?v=3.5&sensor=false"> </script>

to this one. and i again changed this

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"> </script>

with this one...

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"> </script>

Only thing it says: ReferenceError: google is not defined

Does anyone familiar with such problem?

Answer 1

Owing to the fact that my website uses https for the connection, I can not use http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false. When I debug the whole page, this link says: Warning : The page index.html ran insecure content. so I made another search on google and came across to this question. so what basically causes a problem is not using https link in the source part so the correct link will be (for me)

https://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false

now everything works just fine!

Answer 2

That's an old URL. If you look at the examples from the documentation, almost all of them use:

 <script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"></script>
