For example, on

https://paizo.com/events/v5748mkg1vnmx

you should be able to easily see the error in the map itself. More detail is available on the console, the most enlightening of which I believe is:

Google Maps wrote:
The Google Maps JavaScript API v2 is deprecated and will be turned off on May 26, 2021. Please visit https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/v2tov3 to migrate your application to v3.

I realize it's only described as deprecated in that particular error, but there are a number of important features that are now unavailable in v2, so it's largely unusable and marked as "for development only" now.

(Sending sympathy [empathy?] to those developers stuck supporting google APIs. I hated how frequently those got retired when I used them for tiny incidental projects.)
