Issue
Garmin VIRB Edit Google Maps view in G-Metric data sync screen is not working. Instead of the map, the following error messages pop up.
Script Error
An error has occurred in the script on this page.

Resolution
Garmin VIRB Edit software is discontinued and is no longer supported by Garmin. The issue occurs because VIRB Edit uses Internet Explorer based WebView to display Google Maps and this is no longer supported by Google.
The workaround is to make the following registry change to force Garmin VIRB Edit to use Microsoft Edge based WebView.
- Open Registry Editor (regedit.exe) and navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION
- Create a new DWORD entry with the name VirbEdit.exe and HEX value of 00002ee1
- Restart Garmin VIRB Edit and you should be good to go.

回避策の、次のレジストリ変更を行って、一旦解決しました。
しかし、最近（2023/8/19）に VIRB Edit を起動し、G-Metric データ同期画面に行ったところで、
再び スクリプトエラーが出て、Google マップ ビューが機能しなくなりました。
回避策の、次のレジストリ変更を正しく行っているにも関わらずです。
解決策をご教示いただけましたら幸いです。
Recently Virb Edit has showed a Maps API problem. I think this is caused by the ending of virb by garmin and Internet Explorer by Microsoft. Unfortunily i don't know if this problem have a viable solution. If anyone discover how to solute, will help us.
