These are the coordinates that Google needs just to center your map, you need to insert your Locations coordinates from relative part (Section 3 on the screenshot). Without the Locations coordinates the map will not show up.
  • Google Maps API Key - Google Maps needs an API KEY to work properly, without it the widget won't work. Read the Knowledge Base article about how to create an API Key here.
