I set up google maps and it appeared to be working. Something (not sure what) has happened and google maps has been switched off. The google maps window at the bottom of the Admin page has completey disappeared, as has the tabs on the individuals The appropriate install files still appear under modules. Is it possible to either "reinstall" google maps, or manually turn the google maps back on? If so, could I seek guidance on how to do this, please.

Looks like GM is not disabled, as the config would still appear in the ADMIN > GM section as well as on every GM tab, with a link to config if logged on as an ADMIN.
Perhaps permissions changed on the GM directory, or the files therein?
You can DL a new set of GM files from the SVN directory and replace yours. You will have to reconfigure with the GM ID-Activation number and be sure your permissions are correct. Before you take such a drastic measure, be sure to read the WIKI: http://wiki.phpgedview.net/en/index.php?title=Google_Map_module -Stephen

Thanks Stephen. I have checked the permissions and the files - they all seem to match OK. As the GM section is not showing at all, can you tell me how to get the GM section to be displayed? I suspect it has something to do with a file(s) outside the modules folder, but not sure which one.

As we said, if the tab itself is not appearing, then either the permissions (644 on the folder and its contents after configuration, 777 before) are incorrect or a critical file is missing or corrupted.
You have not stated what version of PGV you are using, but assuming it is current - DL a new copy of the GM module from SVN and upload the replacement. It is the existence of a complete module's folder in the module's file that creates the tab - nothing else. -Stephen

I had the same problem. I tried changing the File Attributes/CHMOD to 777. Everything came back, but the instructions at http://wiki.phpgedview.net/en/index.php?title=How_to:Add_Google_maps say to change them back to 644. At that point, the maps disappear again. I don't want to leave it set to 777 for security reasons. Does anyone know what to set it to? Or is there something that I need to set up in the configuration?

755 should work.
