It was working and now it stopped here I leave you some captures ![mapCaptura](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/1/5/1547838e828af0d79b75f0cc5830d2a3967c3257.jpeg) ![WhatsApp Image 2020-12-06 at 04.22.42](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/8/9/890e48c3ff67a5dc12aba5aeda319da23ff1cd4a.jpeg) In the app it does not show the map, this error had already passed me the solution was to redo the application, xq if I place a new map it does not work either, it only works by doing the app again ---

Have you entered your specific API key or are you still using the map without a key? ---

@Vaiper_watafai , I just ran into a similar problem and I think I have a solution. I think it may be a Thunkable Height issue, rather than a problem with the Google API. I created an app to illustrate the problem. [https://x.thunkable.com/copy/4e2548820f847693d87746cf78efaad8](https://x.thunkable.com/copy/4e2548820f847693d87746cf78efaad8) On the screen there are 3 columns, each with a map inside. The first column is set to height Fit Contents, the second is fill container, and the third is an absolute height. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/c/e/ce0924f9a39aac7cc3cb3c9ce112aef4fc2a3145.png) When I view the app on my android device, the first column (fit contents) is completely collapsed (blue border). The other 2 columns are sized properly and show the associated maps. ![Screenshot_20201210-052507_Thunkable](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/7/f/7fa39a0a2343eb7fdac7e2d4d8e67ed3cdef8727.jpeg) I see in your app you have 2 columns. To debug the map issue, try setting those columns to an absolute height of something very small, like 1 or 10. Does the map then show up? If so, it may be an issue with the column sizing like I had. Happy Thunking! ---
