Google Maps API map doesn’t appear [duplicate]

Give your map_canvas div a fixed width and height, and your example will work fine:

<div id="map_canvas" style="width: 500px; height: 400px;"></div>

Otherwise, set the height to your html and body as Google does in the API tutorials:

<style type="text/css"> 
  html { height: 100% }
  body { height: 100%; margin: 0px; padding: 0px }
  #map_canvas { height: 100% }
</style>
