Unfortunately, this plugin has to use the Internet Explorer (IE) shell to display the Map pane.
Google Maps no longer supports IE and throws that script error.
If you click Yes or No in that error message that is confirmed by a Google Maps message.

The only workaround is to use the Set Preference Options tab, Web Page Map Options tab, and set the Map Pane Mode to Leaflet Maps.

I keep meaning to update the plugin to remove the Google Maps option and perhaps substitute Bing Maps.
I will update the plugin Help pages to advise about the error message and workaround.

I see. If (or when :)) you have a testable substitute (I'm not a great fan of Leaflet Maps), I'd be happy to be an alfa or beta tester!

Cheers, Joop
