Description

Importantly, Google Maps Javascript API V3 is simply just faster than v2. Another big plus is that V3 does not need an api key. The currently used v2 api's key verification is known to have problems. It is also deprecated by google.

Perhaps something for Tiki7?

Or would not it be part of Tiki6 as optional and experimental?

Solution

It appeared to me that the only thing one needs to do is to

REPLACE

<script src="http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&v=2&key={$gmapkey}"></script> WITH <script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"> </script> in the wikiplugin_googlemap.tpl Yes, it is just this easy.
