Google Maps adding API key in version 3.0.3

Good day All,

 

I am having some difficulties getting the new version of the Google Maps Extension to work with a Google API key. I have followed the steps in the supporting documentation but I am clearly missing something.

 

I have created the API key, downloaded the extension from the marketplace and saved to a directory. When I execute the GetGoogleMapConnectionString I get this result:

And when I run the SetGoogleMapConnectionString I get the following error message:

"Unable to Invoke Service SetGoogleMapsConnectionString on PlatformSubsystem : Table [PlatformInformation] does not have a field named [googleMapsConnectionString]".

 

Any advice to what step I am missing?

 

Kind regards,

Johan Bester

Instead of executing the services you mentioned, I find it easier to modify the parameters in the Subsystem section of ThingWorx. There are directions that cover this method here:

Hi @Rick-Stanley ,

 

Thank you for your reply. It seems like the version of Thingworx I am running (8.3.4) does not have the property "Required string to connect with Google for Google widgets" in the PlatformSubsystem. I am assuming then that Google Maps version 3.0.3 would not work, as documented, on Thingworx 8.3.3+?

 

Should I revert back to version 3.0.1?

 

Thanks for the assist.
