On the site / I am having an issue where the map will load my geolocation (enable geolocation to see) and then load all results (the entire world) - I need this to stay at the geolocation and not jump to the entire map.

After checking out the console I see "Google Maps API warning: SensorNotRequired //developers.google/maps/documentation/javascript/error-messages#sensor-not-required" and then a dropdown of Object etc....After digging a bit i came across the following scripts that still have the sensors in place:

if(ddp('google_places_api')) { if(ddp('google_places_api') != '') { wp_register_script('google_maps_api', '='.ddp('google_places_api').'&sensor=false&libraries=places'); } }
		else { wp_register_script('google_maps_api', '?'); }
		
	}

		else { wp_register_script('google_maps_api', 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?'); }

	$google_places_url = 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/autocomplete/xml?key='.ddp('google_places_api').'&sensor=false&input='.$fields[$field->post_name].'&types=(regions)';

$reference_url = 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/details/xml?key='.ddp('google_places_api').'&sensor=false&reference='.$place_reference;

....but I am clueless on what to replace the "Sensor" part in each script to or if this even matters - I really just need the map to stop jumping and that's really it.

This is an older version of a theme that has been reconstructed (purchased by choice)- there is no longer support from original devs, so I am attempting to fix things on my own.

• javascript
• jquery
• google-maps

• 1 replace &sensor=false with nothing, nada. zip, zero length string :p – Jaromanda X Commented Aug 23, 2016 at 0:44
• Lol - ok, let me give that a shot. – Nick Commented Aug 23, 2016 at 0:48
• that will get rid of the warning - not sure about your problem – Jaromanda X Commented Aug 23, 2016 at 0:52

As per the documentation on Google Map Error Codes for SensorNotRequired

The sensor parameter is no longer required for the Google Maps JavaScript API. It won't prevent the Google Maps JavaScript API from working correctly, but we recommend that you remove the sensor parameter from the script element.

It is a warning and you can safely remove &sensor=false from the urls
