Inserting Google Maps
I'm trying to insert a Google Map. When I click 'show example', I see a google map and then a line with the link I entered. However, when I paste a google map link of my own, I get just the link. ...
- Your link didn't work for me either, but changing it to .com did:
https://www.google.com/maps/@37.8069524,-122.4764538,2495m/data=!3m1!1e3
You could also try this out:
https://www.google.com/maps/@37.8069524,-122.4764538,2495m/
You can also try just pasting the link instead of using the "Google Maps app".
Thanks for testing it and confirming the problem when the Google Maps URL contains google.ca
I tried the two links you suggested (with google.com) and they worked. Also I tried another google.ca map URL and it didn't work, but worked when changed to .com
So it looks like a bug (Paper probably should accept google maps URLs from anywhere, eg., including google.ca) but meanwhile at least the workaround is easy (change it to google.com when paste-entering the link in the entry box).
