Map plugin (for Piwigo 13.0.0) that uses GoogleMaps, not OpenStreetMap

Does anyone know of a plugin that displays a map for geotagged photos that uses Google Maps, rather than OpenStreetMap?  Prior to Piwigo version 12.2.0, there was a plugin named "rv_gmaps" that did this, but this no longer seems to be available.

[extension by rvelices] RV Maps & Earth still exists but has not been marked as compatible with Piwigo 12 and 13. You can download it and install it manually and tell us if it works fine (I know it does, but you have to register a key on Google for that)

Thanks.  I, too, can confirm that it still works (it just displays a warning triangle saying that it's not compatible with Piwigo 13 :-)

Re: Map plugin (for Piwigo 13.0.0) that uses GoogleMaps, not OpenStreetMap

It worked for me with Piwigo 12 as well.

I just installed Piwigo 13.1.0 and RV Maps&Earth is not longer running.
It shows the map, but it shows no markers on the map.

After activating the plugin I am not able to enter the "settings"-menu.
Before the update my API was working fine and I could enter the settings-menue.

Does anybody else have this problem?
What can I do?

Re: Map plugin (for Piwigo 13.0.0) that uses GoogleMaps, not OpenStreetMap

I tried it again an now I can enter the settings-menue of the RV Maps&Earth-Plugin.

It shows the always used API, but the map doesn´t show any of my geotagged photos.
Does anything changed here in the last months?
Do I have to make any changes at the Google Maps Platform?

Does anybody had the same problem and could fix it?

*Now* I can reproduce the behaviour on 2 Piwigo sites with the RV Maps&Earth plugin, e.g., no markers on the map.

Last updates were 13.1.0 and Smartpocket.

Running on PHP 8.1.

No longer works for me. I really do hope it gets updated. It was very useful for me to find a geotagged shot out of my 19000 shots in my aerial photo library. How do we get in touch with the author to ask him nicely to update it?

In the end, I went with the openstreetmap plugin.
According to https://piwigo.org/ext/extension_view.php?eid=122 , the Google Maps plugin revision date is 2018-07-23 and https://github.com/Piwigo/piwigo-gmaps hasn't been touched in 4 years.

henker. I've done that too but it's painfully slow when you have a lot of images.

Re: Map plugin (for Piwigo 13.0.0) that uses GoogleMaps, not OpenStreetMap

I am also having the same issue as the original poster -- the RV Maps & Earth plugin does not work with the latest Piwigo.  It doesn't generate any errors -- it just no longer provides the map markers on the Google map. 

I am being hosted by Piwigo.com, and this plugin is listed as supported on the piwigo.com platform, but it no longer shows the icons.  I've asked for help several times from the piwigo support group, but have not received any responses from them.

Has anyone found a fix on Piwigo 13.x?

@cali999

It seems that there is no fix to solve the problem.
I use now the openstreetmap-Plugin. I think it is not so good as Google Maps, but it works.

Re: Map plugin (for Piwigo 13.0.0) that uses GoogleMaps, not OpenStreetMap

There was now a similar problem with the Google-Map in the Picasa-App. The Map was  shown correct, but there were no markers. This issue was caused by google updating the Maps JavaScript API to a newer version.

In Picasa it could be fixed by editing the code to force the app to use the newer js-version.

Maybe this is the same problem as here with the  RV-Maps-Plugin.
It would be great, when someone, who is familiar with coding can bring the RV-Maps to life again ... I think it is much better than the Openstreetmap-Plugin.
