Google Maps Marker Pin Not Showing

I have an issue with the Google Maps widget where the marker is not showing on my live site but is showing when I put the code into Codepen.
Codepen:
http://codepen.io/anon/pen/LxLprp
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=AIzaSyD2X6alsV0XdrvNoB4HCEBxNn9VgQYniII"></script>
<script>
function initialize() {
var mapCanvas = document.getElementById('map');
var mapOptions = {
center: new google.maps.LatLng(51.632566, -0.175259),
zoom: 17,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
}
var map = new google.maps.Map(mapCanvas, mapOptions)
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: {lat: 51.632566, lng: -0.175259},
map: map,
title: 'Test'
});
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
</script>
<div id="map" style="height: 300px; width: 300px"></div>
Live Site:
Would anybody possibly know what could be the issue here? The console does not show any errors.
Thank you.

Remove this CSS rule from your page and it will work...
If you are trying to hide certain features from the map, don't do it with CSS. Do it with the map options.

Google Maps not showing on webpage but shows on localhost

So I'm trying to implement Google maps on a website, and on my localhost it works fine, and I see it perfectly.
However when I upload this to my hosting company, the map doesn't show at all.
When I inspect the element and check the console, I don't see any errors.
Code is below:
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=MYAPIKEY"></script>
<script>
function initialize() {
var mapCanvas = document.getElementById('map-canvas');
var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(53.092975, -7.895479);
var mapOptions = {
center: myLatlng,
zoom:16,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
}
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-canvas'), mapOptions);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: myLatlng,
map: map,
title: 'LCCEurotex'
});
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
</script>
I have no idea what could be causing it as my code looks the same as the one from the google documentation.
Any ideas on what could be causing it would be great.
Thanks for any help!

Move this portion of code to the footer page, Probably you has binding the map and div container is not property loaded, additionally, tray adding a heigth to the id map_canvas as default in your css.
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=AIzaSyDo7nFkoUthlGms4De0miS4EPfupB5x0cY"></script>
<script>
function initialize() {
var mapCanvas = document.getElementById('map-canvas');
var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(53.092975, -7.895479);
var mapOptions = {
center: myLatlng,
zoom:16,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
}
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-canvas'), mapOptions);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: myLatlng,
map: map,
title: 'LCCEurotex'
});
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
</script>
In your CSS
div#map-canvas {
height: 500px !important;
}

Only add http:// to url of google maps api, change this line:
<script type="text/javascript" src="maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"></script>
By this:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=true"></script>

Can't add markers to mobile google map

Trying to create a PhoneGap mobile app. Totally new to mobile apps, phonegap, and JS so bear with me. This is where I'm at:
<script type="text/javascript">
function initialize() {
var mapOptions = {
center: new google.maps.LatLng(40.710,-73.994), //New york, NY
zoom: 8,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"),
mapOptions)
};
With that, the map renders in the browser just fine. When adding the following that I've found in a number of tutorials it refuses to render anything. I am trying to do all of this in the googlemap/index.html page that I have created.
<script type="text/javascript">
function initialize() {
var mapOptions = {
center: new google.maps.LatLng(40.710,-73.994), //New york, NY
zoom: 8,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"),
mapOptions);
var LatLng = new google.maps.LatLng(40.710,-73.994)
var marker = new.google.maps.Marker({
position: myLatLng,
title: "hello world!"
});
marker.setMap(map);
};
When I add the following, the entire page refuses to render.
Basically, I'm using the above method to display a google map, and I'm trying to add a pin to the center location. Seems simple enough but proving to be beyond my abilities.

You have a syntax error on this line:
var marker = new.google.maps.Marker({
Notice that there is a dot between the new operator and the class name.
To fix, replace the line above with:
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
Happy mapping!
PS: The error was reported in the (desktop) browser's console, I'm not sure how you'd see the same on an Android device.

Google Map KML layer - click event return ZERO_RESULTS

I am working with the Google Maps KML layer click event.
I am using this code:
function initialize() {
var mapOptions = {
center: new google.maps.LatLng(41.875696, -87.624207),
zoom: 11,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), mapOptions);
var ctaLayer = new google.maps.KmlLayer('https://sites.google.com/site/anoopkml123/kml/ab9Plan0520.kmz');
ctaLayer.setMap(map);
google.maps.event.addListener(ctaLayer, 'click', function(kmlEvent) {
alert(kmlEvent.featureData.name);
});
}
Sometimes alert(kmlEvent.featureData.name) shows a number but sometimes it's 'undefined'.
Sometimes obj.featuredData.id is null (ZERO_RESULTS status is in status field).

Re-created your code in a fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/mdares/TAfys/
I cannot replicate the issue you are having. Can you provide an example given the above link of where it fails? Is this possibly browser specific? Finally - is there any additional code you haven't posted which might be the cause? My code is unchanged from yours as you posted, but I am curious if you are also doing other things:
function initialize() {
var mapOptions = {
center: new google.maps.LatLng(41.875696, -87.624207),
zoom: 11,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
}
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), mapOptions);
var ctaLayer = new google.maps.KmlLayer('https://sites.google.com/site/anoopkml123/kml/ab9Plan0520.kmz');
ctaLayer.setMap(map);
google.maps.event.addListener(ctaLayer, 'click', function (kmlEvent) {
alert(kmlEvent.featureData.name);
});
}

Why is my google map blank?

I have not seen this before usually a map either loads or it doesnt because of some error. I am getting the map to load without errors but it is blank:
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false&ver=3.0'></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function initialize() {
var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(43.9869349, -102.24306);
var myOptions = {
zoom: 6,
center: latlng,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.TERRAIN
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"),
myOptions);
}
</script>
<div id="map_canvas" style="width:100%; height:300px"></div>
Anyone else seen this or know what might be the culprit? The map itself is sitting in a div that I am show/hide with jQuery. Could that be the conflict?
ANSWER
This was just a stupid conflict with the parent div where I had img {display:none} defined. Oops. .thanks everyone for trying to help.

try adding this:
window.onload = function(evt) {
// this is a simple replica of jQuery's ready function
if(document.readyState === 'complete') {
var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(43.9869349, -102.24306);
var myOptions = {
zoom: 6,
center: latlng,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.TERRAIN
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions);
}
}

Try this
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false&ver=3.0'></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function initialize() {
var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(43.9869349, -102.24306);
var myOptions = {
zoom: 6,
center: latlng,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.TERRAIN
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"),
myOptions);
}
</script>
<div id="map_canvas" style="width:100%; height:300px"></div>
<script>initialize();</script>

I tried google's example, which looks quite similar to what you're doing, and it worked fine.
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/map-simple.html
I suspected that you had the lat/lng reversed, but that doesn't appear to be the case. Perhaps work through this example again - as I just ran it locally with no trouble.
