MPS 9.1. SP 11 Crash with New Version of Google Maps

2017-09-12 18:53:00 Etc/GMT

We are having an issue with Google Maps in MPS. Google Maps is currently working with i/Dispatcher 9.1 SP 11. When routing is done in MPS Google Maps crashes and has to be reloaded. Please let me know if anyone has resolved this issue. It is believed that emulating IE environments is causing this issue.

Please assist.

We are seeing that poly.js script error in Development on MPS 9.1.1 SP12 as well. Apparently Google changed something that broke us. poly.js is a Google file, not ours. MPS routes still work in later versions (9.4, at least). I don't see any useful details yet at https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/versions. Feel free to file an issue with Support.

So far Google Maps still functions in MPS for later releases: 9.3 MR1 and beyond, but has this poly.js issue in all 9.2 and prior versions. Those early versions use IE 7 compatibility, the later IE9, but the google web site https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/browsersupport says only IE 10 and IE 11 are supported at this point. We'll have to look at moving our compatibility forward for the GMap.

Please file an SR/CR, we will likely patch this for 9.1.1 SP12. (The same fix works for 9.2 MR6).

I found 3 changes to GMap.htm that allow Google Maps to function again, it still has a warning popup from Google but so far that does not seem to cause any failures. The changes are in the attached GMap911SP12mod.htm, as well as the base file that I worked against.
