# API server rejected your request. The "sensor" parameter

 * I’m having the following error in both Firefox and Explorer (not Chrome)
 * **Error**
 * The Google Maps API server rejected your request. The “sensor”
    parameter specified
   in the request must be set to either “true” or “false”.
 * **Suggested script on forums:**
 * <script type=”text/javascript” src=”maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false”
   >
 * **And yet sensor seems to have been defined:**
 * function wpgmappity_load_theme_scripts() {
 *  wp_enqueue_script( ‘jquery’ );
    $gmap_url = ‘[http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false&#8217](http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false&#8217);;
   wp_enqueue_script( ‘gmap_loader’, $gmap_url ); }
 * **Any idea?
    The matter is pretty urgent. Thanks.

 * For those having the same pb with Google maps, check here: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-better-wp-security-google-maps-api](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-better-wp-security-google-maps-api)
   
   There seems to be an incompatibility with Better WP security plugin.

 * For me, the problem had to do with extra line breaks that were inserted in the
   code when I copied and pasted an example from Google’s website.
 * This line was the problem:
 * `<script type="text/javascript" src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?
   key=YOUR_KEY_HERE&sensor=false">`
 * Make sure to squeeze everything right together, nice and neat, or it won’t parse
   the code correctly.
