[digiKam-users] google maps doesn't like digikam anymore?

[Daniel Bauer-2]

Hi :-)

Since a few days, when I want to check geolocation of a photo, google
says that it doesn't love digikam anymore: "maps cannot be loaded
correctly on this site".

And then it shows the map perfectly but with a watermark "For
development purposes only".

There has been no update of my digikam (5.9, suse-rpm) but obviously
google has some crisis with digikam, hopefully it does not lead to a
divorce :-)

What could that mean?

Hi,

From France, using DK 6.0.0 beta, no problem here with Google Maps.

Google Maps now requires a registration and API key when using the service. DigiKam-5.9.0 does not yet contain this API key. There was a transition period for older programs that has now expired. DigiKam-6.0.0 is registered and sends an API key to Google, so it works with this version. We use a free account and we will see if the maximum allowed map retrieval per day will be sufficient for all digiKam users worldwide.

thanks for explaining - so I know it's not my system that has gone wild :-)

Let's see when dk 6 arrives at opensuse repos. (for several personal
reasons I prefer to use those, even if I don't have the latest dk all
the time)

Let me again express my gratefulness for this fantastic application
which is the most used in my daily work.

You may only need to exchange one file so that digiKam-5.9.0 can work with
Google Maps again. I'll check it tonight if it works.

Replace backend-googlemaps.html under /usr/share/digikam/geoiface/ with this
appendix. Then Google Maps also works with digiKam-5.9.0 again.

Hi,

What is the path for the update on Windows? 

Iñigo. 

[Maik Qualmann]

The path for a 64 bit Windows is:

C:\Program Files\digiKam\data\digikam\geoiface

The "Program Files" can also be displayed as "Programme" in the File Explorer
in German, for example.

Thanks Maik for the fix. It works flawless in DK 5.9 on Manjaro 17.03
