aperture gps locations not functioning correctly

I have been using Aperture for some time on iMac running 10.6.8. One of the important features for me was the places function. Just recently when I select this the map appears briefly and then vanishes. Cannot find a way to fix this. Any help very welcome.

Aperture 3, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Many thanks for your input, and I think that you have it right. So much for the amazing internet that will solve our communication problems. Now that the big boys are no longer playing with each other, we have to suffer. Is this another aspect of big business getting in the way of functionality? Where we, the small fry, really do not count for very much.

Incidentally, how to I get a private access key to Google's servers?

Have you looked at the link in my User Tip? Re: iPhoto 11 - Problems With Photo Locations

cotton-xoutlined the procedure. You need a Google account first, then follow the links.

With Aperture I did the following:

Copy the Aperture Application to the applications folder in my Home folder.
I ctrl-clicked the copy and selected "Show Package Contents".
In the window that opened I clicked Contents, then Resources and scrolled down in that folder and copied the file googlemap.html to the desktop.
Now you need a text editor - Xcode or TextWrangler, Emacs, or similar to be able to edit the code.
I changed the first few lines to look like this:

Then replace the file in the copied application by the patched file.
