Mapview doesn't work anymore

[Volker-brdb]

No markers are displayed on the map anymore.
At the top of the map, there is a bar running from left to right that somehow gives the impression of being a loading bar. My impression is that Mapview is trying to display the markers but is somehow stuck in an endless loop?

MapView-Version 6.1.2
Obsidian Version 1.11.7
Can actually say after which version-update the problem started

I tried deactivating and activating map-view serveral time, even with complete Obsidian restart, without success. Problem still exsist

Here are two example screenshots show the bar running from left to right.

Ah, now I found this in console

Network location provider at 'https://www.googleapis.com/' : Returned error code 403.
plugin:obsidian-map-view:62502 Map View real-time location error: Failed to query location from network service. Check the DevTools console for more information.

But I have OpenStreetMap in my setting, not googleAPI

[esm7]

Your display rules have something that Map View can't parse. Can you check the data.json file in the vault/.obsidian/plugins/obsidian-map-view directory and see what's in the display rules key?

Ok, got it.
The following entry in data.json was the issue:

---

{
  "query": "[Unterkategorien:Gastronomie]",
  "preset": false,
  "iconDetails": {
    "icon": "🍴",
    "markerColor": "green",
    "opacity": 1,
    "iconColor": "red"
  },
  "badgeOptions": {},
  "pathOptions": {}
},

---

What happend? I renamed in my Vault "Unterkategorien" to "unterkategorien".

Renaming this in data.json too hasn't fixed the problem. Even if I restart Obsidian.
Only way to get mapview back to work was to remove this entry completly from data.json.

Thanks for the great plugin and for pointing me in the right direction.
