Brian discovered this a day or two ago. Haven't yet figured out what is causing it.


When do you think the "Timeshare maps" site will be restored for use?? This site is VERY helpful in planning for use of the timeshares located in Orlando and closeness to the parks!! Patrick

If he's having trouble with the new Google maps changes, he can always try ARCGIS and their new 'earth' maps. I don't care for it, but apparently the programming is friendlier in some aspects for overlays. (I'm no expert and my advice is worth what I charge--zero)

Brian - do you have anyone else that can have the google timeshare maps site restored??? It was such a useful site and so valuable as to other nearby resorts if you could not obtain a trade for the one that you most desired. Patrick

I heard back from the person who developed it, she said she would take a look when she got some free time.

Brian - Google timeshare maps site is down again. Please contact Carol about having the site restored; please thank her for me and for those of us that enjoy seeing the site location where the timeshare we are considering going to is located. THANK YOU! Patrick

The site is now working and has been for the last few days. Please compliment Carol on all of her efforts to achieve that as it is very valuable to me with its satellite views in addition to the map. Patrick

I was going to link to the map in another thread (timeshares near amtrak stations) but I can't get it to load. Any suggestions?

still no changes (or word) from the person who originally designed it...so until she gets some free time its likely to stay unfunctional.

So.... timeshare maps is currently working, but when you try to open it, it will detect that the scripts for the site are not secure (https) while the actual link is an https.

So, if the owner/maintainer of the site is listening.....help!

You can still use the site, you will just need to acknowledge the security warning and display the non-secure (mixed) content. This will be indicated in different ways on different browsers or security software prompts.

I see the screen, but it appears to be hung with "Maps Loading..." and "Resorts Loading..."

looking at it further, it certainly does appear to have a problem with the secure encrypted connection...im not quite sure why.

it does however work as mentioned above if you bypass the security warning about "loading unsafe scripts" which lets your browser also load items on the page that DONT use https. doing this lets you click the buttons at the top and load all the pinpoints for the resorts.

Does the break somehow coincide with upgrading the Tug2 side to HTTPS?

its fixed now...thanks for the tip that it was working if you bypassed the security warning!

just had to edit the code inside the file that was calling google maps thru a regular http:// url..instead of an https one.
