Description

Indefinite loading of Google Maps as a media type. I tried both the page URL and the share link.

Relevant MediaType match: https://github.com/NUKnightLab/StoryMapJS/blob/master/source/js/media/VCO.MediaType.js/#L50-L56

Research direction

Start in source/js/media/VCO.MediaType.js at the referenced match and reproduce the indefinite loading with both a Google Maps page URL and share link. Trace how each URL is recognized and loaded, then verify that both forms display a map instead of remaining in the loading state.
