Could you please tell me,how this “Display Map as image” feature is supposed to work? Cos it seems to be a bug.. * cheers Anna * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-maps-ready/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-maps-ready/) Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) * Plugin Author [google-maps-plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/google-maps-plugin/) * (@google-maps-plugin) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/display-map-as-image-error-while-loading/#post-5327848) * Hello * Please [send me](http://readyshoppingcart.com/product/google-maps-plugin/#contact) a link to the page, where I can see broken google map image? * Thread Starter [annulixi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/annulixi/) * (@annulixi) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/display-map-as-image-error-while-loading/#post-5327981) * Hi, * it’s a testing site at the moment. here is a link: * [http://company-web.mzf.cz/contact/](http://company-web.mzf.cz/contact/) * Plugin Author [google-maps-plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/google-maps-plugin/) * (@google-maps-plugin) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/display-map-as-image-error-while-loading/#post-5327982) * Hello.
