OK well that worked...however, if I change the link to a different map, it does not update and still shows the old map??

Thanks for the help!

That's a common issue- don't know why that happens, but if you install the 'alternative' that the author links to, https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=235625 that works correctly and gives even more options, and is more secure, so there is no reason not to use it. In the alternative you can paste the full url like here, or just put in [maps]Sedona, AZ[/maps] or [maps]123 Fake St., Springfield, MA to Austin, TX[/maps] for routes. Even GPS coordinates.

Thanks my friend, I will give that one a try

Installed and working perfectly with v4.0.3 once you follow BirdOPrey5 suggestion of disabling bb code within this bb code on the bb code settings screen.

There seems to be problem with this mod/bbcode after upgrading to 4.0.6, map embed simply shows default view/page, looks like VB is introducing space in 'src'

E.g: Adding below BBCODE

[MAPS]http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=delhi&daddr=agra+to:Beaw ar,+Rajasthan,+India+to:Bijainagar,+Rajasthan,+Ind ia+to:Ahmedabad,+Gujarat,+India+to:belgaum+to:Goa, +India+to:Hubli,+Karnataka,+India+to:Bangalore,+Ka rnataka,+India&hl=en&geocode=FazwtAEdAFyaBCkttn40W _0MOTHOTSBOSbfCUg%3BFfDingEdkFamBCnZQS98hQ10OTFCO1 KpOO9KeA%3BFSBBjgEdgAhuBCmDEvTos3BpOTGnX5RJ9xV5lQ% 3BFXSfiwEdiwFzBCn3FICNBT9pOTHG5KjXdqy3Jg%3BFVCOXwE d9ERTBClJ1Fu6ioReOTEWZU9hEd3OTw%3BFXjb8QAd3dlwBCkv NpVQn2a_OzFf-97cHrM0fg%3BFWNf6wAdG-RoBClBtzZjELq_OzGSQPNi_4f46g%3BFZIj6gAdLXl6BCldDej uZ9e4OzGXMxEH4gPoCg%3BFU_uxQAdw_-fBCltTrTJcBauOzHgT35R6MPf-A&mra=ls&sll=20.8047,75.28158&sspn=30.373571,57.08 4961&ie=UTF8&z=5[/MAPS]

produces below code in view src

 <tr>
                <td class="thead" style="text-align:center"><iframe width="100%" height="600" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&amp;source=s_d&amp;saddr=delhi&amp;daddr=agra+to:Beaw  ar,+Rajasthan,+India+to:Bijainagar,+Rajasthan,+Ind  ia+to:Ahmedabad,+Gujarat,+India+to:belgaum+to:Goa,  +India+to:Hubli,+Karnataka,+India+to:Bangalore,+Ka  rnataka,+India&amp;hl=en&amp;geocode=FazwtAEdAFyaBCkttn40W  _0MOTHOTSBOSbfCUg%3BFfDingEdkFamBCnZQS98hQ10OTFCO1  KpOO9KeA%3BFSBBjgEdgAhuBCmDEvTos3BpOTGnX5RJ9xV5lQ%  3BFXSfiwEdiwFzBCn3FICNBT9pOTHG5KjXdqy3Jg%3BFVCOXwE  d9ERTBClJ1Fu6ioReOTEWZU9hEd3OTw%3BFXjb8QAd3dlwBCkv  NpVQn2a_OzFf-97cHrM0fg%3BFWNf6wAdG-RoBClBtzZjELq_OzGSQPNi_4f46g%3BFZIj6gAdLXl6BCldDej  uZ9e4OzGXMxEH4gPoCg%3BFU_uxQAdw_-fBCltTrTJcBauOzHgT35R6MPf-A&amp;mra=ls&amp;sll=20.8047,75.28158&amp;sspn=30.373571,57.08  4961&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;z=5&amp;output=embed"></iframe></td>
        </tr>

As you can see spaces introduced in 'src' (e.g "to:Beaw ar" should be "to:Beawar"), any suggestions to fix the issue?

It looks like your 'disable word wrapping' might not be set right... word wrapping must be disabled in the bb code options.

[tadukuttan]

"Disable Word Wrapping Within This BB Code" is marked 'Yes'

I just upgraded to 4.0.7 and I'm having issues with it as well... it worked fine on 4.0.1 and I LOVE it... Old posts (posted on 4.0.1) still work, but new uses don't work... VB seems to be wrapping the link with [url] tags which break it? Even if I go in and edit them out of the post they come back.

Any ideas?

Disable Automatic Link Parsing Within This BB Code must be set to "Yes."

This has broken for me in the past couple of days too, maybe today. I have NOT updated recently. "Disable Word Wrapping Within This BB Code" is and has been set to Yes.

I've noticed that my Picasaweb slideshow embed has broken at the exact same time. Google must have changed their code:
