I have got it to work a few times.
joomlajoy.com/site2/index.php?option=com_google_maps&Itemid=40
lockelakevacation.com/index.php?option=c...oogle_maps&Itemid=68
lockelakecolony.com/index.php?option=com_google_maps&Itemid=75
I can try and help of you like.
People usually get hung up on the following:
# 1 Set The DOCTYPE and style info from the API documentation:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" " www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd ">
<html xmlns=" www.w3.org/1999/xhtml " xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml">
This needs to be the doc type on your index.php file (I just repaced the existing one in each case. (Always make a back up of the original index.php in case you goof like me)
#2 Modify the body tag
<body <?php if ($option=='com_google_maps') { echo 'onload="initMap()" onunload="GUnload()"'; } ?> >
This needs to be added to the body tag which can be very confusing if there is already a body tag calling all kinds of things.
If you have trouble with either of these you can email me or post here and we can make the changes for you.

Thanks Joe,
I see on the latest version of the Google Map API Component you no longer have to add the body tag... but i am still trying to get it to work with geosync... its definately a template thing (it works with the solarflare template, even thought the doctype and styles are not changed... when i check out the forums at the components home page it seems every time the loading map problem occurs it has to do with menuing systems...
I am unable to isolate this problem :-\, any ideas?

- I am seeing a problem under IE7 with Google Maps in the ModernBusiness template. Trying to debug. It also seems related to the menu system. Turned off all of the Java Script features for the top menu, and now I think I can detect that the (left) menu is causing graphics to blank out (google map, and some other graphics generated by MooFX) immediately after loading. Similar question is posted in ModBiz forum (IE7 only). B.
