Hello ,
On the ES4 test site the location does not interact
- does not detect location
- does not retrieve any address
Are you referring to this site? https://es4.stackideas.com/

If yes, it seems like we don't have set up Google map API key, so we temporarily switch to Open Street Map provider, can you give it a try again?

Yep that was it...

In an other post Raymond replied he added the following to the issue tracker but I do not see any improvement...
2.
The inline map height is ridiculously small !
Because the map only displays on click but can also be hidden on click, you should at least make make it 50% bigger in height or double the height of the map...
3.
I forgot to mention the popup map does show, only a broken link icon and white background is displayed in the box.
Maybe this happens only after the setting is change in the administration -I did not test this issue fully...

Raymond :
I am able to reproduce these issues. Will log them into our tracker.
Point 3 - I can not test on ES4 ...
Point 2 - no improvement still ridiculusly small height of the map !!

Hmm, based on what I read in the issue tracker, we did increase the map height, perhaps you can share with me which part is still showing a small map if compare to Easysocial 3.x?

Here is a screenshot ES4 (left) Vs ES3 (right)
The map is not loading on ES3 test site but look at the difference in the map height.

On the left ES4, the height is too small !
When dragging the map and using the zoom in/out it is very difficult to understand the location because there is not enough height.

If the map could display the (at least) same height as showned in ES3 , that would be a huge improvement...

EDIT:
You have to zoom in to see the street names but then you can not see the sourroundings and locate anything.
I know the feature is not meant to replace Google Maps, but please increase the height ...

From what I read through that issued ticket, we actually did increase the map preview height from the stream item (screenshot: https://monosnap.com/file/C8oCBSZjHVXnVGPCKnIydQZnWVWBWv ) but we can't increase more is because it will make the stream item the overall height will getting higher if the stream item contains the video player or album photos (screenshot: https://monosnap.com/file/Zgmn45DItGJEXkM1TYNZDIKQJxseHL ) so we reduced the height for the map preview.

Hmm, if you would like to increase the map preview height, I would like to suggest that you can apply the following custom CSS to increase the map preview height.


body #es .es-stream-embed.is-maps .es-location-map {
padding-top: 20% !important;
}

Thank you Arlex...
I will add a custom CSS
but we can't increase more is because it will make the stream item the overall height will getting higher if the stream item contains
Map is a collapsable field !!!
The map open and closes on click...
Therefore I (personal opinion) do not validate the dev's argument .
