 * A few things. I did search for this error, and I found a thread that was never
   resolved. I thought the error was due to a new API key. I got one, and it didn’t
   resolve itself. I get the error in 2 places. 1. When I add a new placemark. 2.
   On the Basic Google Maps settings page. I linked the screenshots below. The errors
   are highlighted. (I couldn’t figure out how to insert the photo in this post,
   so I linked it.)

   I’m not really sure where else I can turn to. Please help.

 * Solved for me : was a compatibility issue with ‘a3 lazy load’ plugin.
