What was happening is that the regional zoom level remained constant (10) but the apparently uninitialized lat/longs must point to some world center (0,0?) in the middle of the ocean. At a default zoom level of "10", all you got was a pale blue map. Users could however, zoom out, recenter, then zoom back in again but that wasn't very intuitive.

I made the following change that gets the default lat/long from the options before a new submitter is presented with the map. This will probably only be useful for those that default to a zoomed in region but it's currently working for me. Perhaps some consideration could be given to this problem in future releases (for which I'm anxiously waiting).

In VBGooglemap.php find this:

	eval('$VBGooglemap_set_yourlocation .= "' . fetch_template('VBGooglemap_set_yourlocation') . '";');

Before add:

	$lng_map = $vbulletin->options['VBGooglemap_lng'];
	$lat_map = $vbulletin->options['VBGooglemap_lat'];

Thanks for a great hack!

Thanks for the tip.

I'll put it in the next standard
