Location Maps control panel error

On the online control panel for Location Maps, all the individual locations have been replaced by an error message... A problem occurred while fetching some data (1). The results were not valid JSON. http://www.newforestwalksapp.co.uk/images/maps_grab.jpg ...anyone know what is going on, and what I can do to get the list of locations back?

Is this self-hosted or the Buzztouch website? I just checked that screen in my Buzztouch control panel, and I'm not seeing the issue. Mark

Follow what LA says : Go to the Configuration Data section of your control panel, copy the stuff you see there, head over to jsonlint.com, and paste it in. That'll check to see what might be up with the JSON.

I explored your app -- the screenshots are marvelous! http://www.newforestwalksapp.co.uk/#screenshots For the home screen, the menu table, is that the plugin or is it an HTML Table? The other content screens are nicely crafted with HTML. Well done!

Mark, LA - I'm using the Buzztouch website ... and I hadn't actually been making any alterations - just logged in and got the red error message. I put the config data into jsonlint.com and it validated ok. Niraj - thanks for your kind comments. The homescreen uses the Menu Buttons plugin.

I'm not sure what's up with the control panel. I have one entry that's acting similar, but it's working as expected in the app itself. Are you seeing the right action happen in the app?

Yeah, the maps are running fine in the app ... but I'm not able to edit any of the map locations in the website control panel

http://www.newforestwalksapp.co.uk/maps_grab2.jpg I think I've narrowed it down to what is causing the problem with the location maps - if I put in a number and full-stop into the title box in the online control panel e.g.. "32." it causes it to freak and 'red out' all of the location data (see jpg attached) ... The json validate tool points to that as being the problem too. I still can't work out a way of editing the locations to fix it. ...any solutions gratefully received!

There need to be double-quotes around each latitude and longitude number. Right now, there aren't. It should be like: "longitude" : "32.12343" Right now you have: "longitude" : 32.12343 Mark

I've just been putting those numbers into the online control panel - it's only after I put in "32." into one of the title boxes that I got the red error text with all that code.
