Hello,

I am working on a project that uses the Google maps component. I have the map displaying, but I need to add a circle. This seems like a simple thing to so, but I can't see to make it happen. Here is how I have the properties configured:

Can anyone offer some thoughts on why this is not working for me?

Thanks,

Eric

After getting a little sleep, I resumed trying to figure out why I could not get layers to display on the map. I noticed that there was a red exclamation point on the 'Props' tab of the Google Map control. When I hovered over it, this is what was displayed.

In retrospect, I copied the lat and lng values for the circle I was trying to display out of a text file and pasted them onto the value property. This was apparently interpreted as a string rather than a number. I re-typed the exact same numbers, and now it works.

Yes, green indicates text, orange indicates number. There was probably a trailing space or tab.
