TMapview stays empty

[XE_user 1]

I use Delphi 12 CE and tried to build applications showing maps (google maps on Windows only, no FMX).

 

There are some example projects which do not work. They compile without errors but the content of the TMapView stays empty.

 

I think an API key is not neccessary, as this is for Android applications only.

 

A few years ago I created map applications with GMMaps, which suddenly stopped working due to some changes in the google API. Do I face the same problem here?

 

Help appreciated!

Thanks, but I do not use multi-platform FMX components, I use the VCL for Windows only, as described above.

Ok, I just saw, that the demo is from multi-platform samples.... and TMapView is not available for VCL applications.

I created a API key in the google developer console for this project, followed the instructions of your link. No success. Still no map, no error or messages.

 

Is there a way to debug the connection with the google servers on application level?
