Google maps works in preview, but not when project is exported  en

Hi

I'm using Website X5 13.03.22 64 bit running on Windows 10. I have a contact page that contains a Google Maps object. When I check the page using the Website X5 preview - the map works fine, showing the correct location. When I export the entire site to disk (to check the site before publishing), Firefox does not display the Google Map on the contact page (leaving a blank space). Checking the same contact page on Internet explorer, it shows a box where the Google Map object should be, and says;

"This page can't be displayed

  • Make sure that the web address is correct.
  • Look for the page with your search engine.
  • Refresh the page in a few minutes."

Any ideas how to get the map displayed please

Thanks

Why not just upload, it will be fine online.

Else you need to make your pc work like a webhost and then you need to install php and apache on your personal computer.

Search internet for it, there is a lot of information about it.

Thanks for the reply, much appreciated.

Just so that I'm clear, the problem is that my PC is not acting as a host - so when it's uploaded to a proper system the Google map will work OK

Yes, your host delivers software also, this software is not on your pc but needed for online viewing and handling

So not everything works offline or even in preview. In preview you get a warning. But from pc I am not sure, anyway just try online you will see it works.
