[Xerte] Re: Google Map page

[Kemp Johnathan]

Hooray!

This is not shadenfreude, I am delighted you are getting the same result as
I. Have you tried clicking on the maps to open up a browser window? The
correct map should display in the browser window yet the wrong map displays
in Xerte.

I have no idea what is causing this but I know it's not limited to my own
setup.

It's also happening with the current map.rlm file, in what is as far as I
can tell a standard Xerte pageTemplates project.

So Gremlins aside, has anyone any idea what is going on here?

Kind regards

Johnathan
