Much of what was available before is no longer available for free. I haven't investigated the specific API calls I outlined in this post but I suspect your issue may be from Google's changes earlier this year.<br /><br />If anyone can confirm and/or suggest a fix or workaround, please share!atxgeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10336950186492439062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120770620136258859.post-64295693217751406862018-10-04T17:23:43.327-05:002018-10-04T17:23:43.327-05:00I'm getting an error when I try and use this a...I'm getting an error when I try and use this at the moment.

This definitely falls in the "niche need" category but, considering how easy it would be to implement, still a little surprising to me Google doesn't offer a "Hide Street Names" option on Google Maps.
