Styled maps not showing

[Ben Gannaway]

My styled map has suddenly stopped displaying.  I just see a grey screen.  If I turn off styling it works again.  This effect is not restricted to my site.  If I go to http://googlemapscolorizr.stadtwerk.org/ i can't see a map either.  Is there a fault with the api today or is it something in my network settings?

I'm getting the same problem on three sites. Would be interested to know what's going on. Setting the API version to an older version doesn't seem to fix this. What's interesting in Firebug shows that the files are being downloaded, just not displayed.

Sorry, ignore my comment above, I missed the 'v' in the version query string.

If you use: http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?v=3.3 the map will be fixed. It would be nice to use the latest version, but I guess a project made x months ago doesn't use any newer features anyway....

Thanks for letting us know. We're onto it.

As always, please specify v=3.3 or v=3.2 on production sites.

Adding the explicit version requirement also fixed it for me.
Unfortunately it also removed support for the new polygons and
polylines rendered with canvas support that was added on April 14th.
Are styled maps just no longer supported, or is there an API change
associated with them?

Hi all.

We pushed a version of the API that broke styled maps. We're reverting to the April 14 version, and you'll see this change reflected automatically if you're using the nightly version (v=3 or v=3.4).

Sorry about any inconvenience caused.

Google has this really nifty search engine:
http://www.google.com/search?q=HTML%20CANVAS

The google maps API v3 has started to use it for stuff...

Is the April 14th version locked into a version number? If so, what is
it? I'd like to lock into that version, if possible.

No. That is the nightly development release, v=3, v=3.4 or no version
specified.

The only versions that are frozen/feature-stable are documented:
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/basics.html#VersionDocs

Currently:
* Nightly Version (3.4) Reference (Current)
* Release Version (3.3) Reference (Feature-Stable)
* Release Version (3.2) Reference (Frozen)
* Version 3.0 and 3.1 have been retired

This should now be fixed. Thanks to all who reported the issue.
