Hey there,

I just wrote a tutorial about using the Google Maps API with Windows 8, http://www.creepyed.com/2012/11/how-to-use-the-google-maps-api-on-windows-8/[^]. It has to do with how the script for Google Maps is called in the project and making sure you can get external content.

I was getting similar errors to you. I hope this helps!

Have a great day,
Ed

Solution 5

your source is wrong.
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3&sensor=true"></script>
This the correct one.
It will help you.
