Hi I have been working with the map short-code for a couple of days and I have a two of issues. (i have added the API key)

The directions don’t work and shows a couple of JS errors:

The pin is in the wrong place no matter what i do its shifted ups and to the left. It is still centred on the whole amp bu the centre is wrong. FYI: I did try using the https://www.latlong.net/ link to get the lon lat coordinates, but this webpage doesn’t work today (it did yesterday) so I’m using https://www.doogal.co.uk/LatLong.php

Hi FootstepsDesign,

1. The error is pretty self-explanatory. Your API key is for a project not configured to use the directions services. You’d need to properly set your API project settings.

2. It doesn’t really matter which lat/long service you use. If the coordinates are correct it should be OK. Check if you copied all digits. May be you missed some characters in the latitude and longitude numbers?

Thanks Dimitar

1. I will check the API settings.

2. I have triple checked the coordinates and I am sure that I have copied the correct numbers. Is there any other test the I can perform please?

[Althemist]

Are you checking with enough zoom when generating the coordinates? May be it looks OK when you generate them, because it’s not zoomed close enough and the error becomes visible on the site with more zoom? Basically, we never had such problem reported before and we use the same system on all our themes (more than 15 000 users).

Thanks for the reply, I turns out that the https://www.doogal.co.uk/LatLong.php was not accurate enough. However https://www.latlong.net/ is now working and that seems to have given the correct coordinates. Sorry for the concusion.
