Ah, ok.

This wizrd fixes it partly. You NEED to change the offending line (but 
you don't know which one...) In this case, it is only one. the url of 
the google maps page.

Please can you try the following to confirm:
  - Open page with the new wizard
  - Add a space after the url
  - remove the space again (thes two actions will trigger the code changes)
- Save, and try to export.

Thanks!

Tom
