Web interface needs an update

[felixtremblay]

Google maps seems to have changed some things with its api. When I load the page, I am greeted with a popup saying : "this page can't load google maps correctly". After dismissing the alert, the map shown is really dark and has a bunch of "for development only" watermarks.

Current map source in the gmap.html is:
"https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?sensor=true"

..I just added "&v=3" so the map source now looks like this:

"https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?sensor=true&v=3"

..seems to be working for me, but not sure why...I found some information here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34321883/issue-on-loading-google-map-sensornotrequired#34322951

..snd just decided to try with adding the "&v=3"

Can confirm this issue. Unfortunately @HarryMJensen's solution didn't work for me :(

It appears their needs to be an API key for this to work now. Worth mentioning how to do this in the README doc?

About a year ago Google did some things to their Maps API. Other branches of dump1090 and I believe even this one has moves to the OpenStreetMaps API since then.

As above, I've requested a PR that fixes this issue - I've done it in a forked repo which my codebase derives from which is also further ahead of this one: although the changes made are very small and are easily transferable as required.

Hi, I ported the code to open street map. Closing.
