I am trying to migrate from v2 to v3 in google maps API and I keep getting this error: The Google Maps API server rejected your request. The "sensor" parameter specified in the request must be set to either "true" or "false".

Here is the tutorial I am using:

In the javascript I have changed src to

<script type="text/javascript"
  src=";sensor=TRUE">
</script>

but I keep getting the following error: The Google Maps API server rejected your request. The "sensor" parameter specified in the request must be set to either "true" or "false".

What does the error mean and how can I fix it?

Use: sensor=true instead of sensor=TRUE

It is case-sensitive.

In case anyone else is having a similar issue, I also got this error for a different reason.

In my case, the problem had to do with an extra line break and spaces that were inserted in the code when I copied and pasted an example from Google's website.

This line was the problem:

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://maps.googleapis./maps/api/js?key=YOUR_KEY_HERE&sensor=false">

Make sure to squeeze everything right together, nice and neat, or it won't parse the code correctly.

Ran into the same problem. If you already have the right key and all lowercase for the sensor boolean, make sure you have specified your map dimensions. For example, from the tutorial:

<style type="text/css">
      html { height: 100% }
      body { height: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0 }
      #map-canvas { height: 100% }
</style>

Make in this manner. Please check there is no space between ?and sensor.
