I understand what you're saying now. What do you get when you dump
$HTMLFooterFmt? I mean, after line 340 of GoogleMapAPI.php, add the
following:

print "<pre>".print_r($HTMLFooterFmt, 1)."</pre>";

Also, what version of PmWiki? It is possible that you are running a
version of PmWiki before <!--HTMLFooter--> was implemented. Thus,
regardless of whether $HTMLFooterFmt were being properly populated, if
you were running an earlier version of PmWiki, it would be inert. This
feature was implemented in PmWiki-2.2.0 beta series. Perhaps I should
populate a $GmaFooterFmt to allow you to access the same data if
you're not at 2.2.0 and are not prepared to migrate.

If you want to try that option, then this may get you "on your feet" sooner:

At line 41, add (conceals variable when not-in-use):

  $GmaFooterFmt = '';

At line 322, change:

  $HTMLFooterFmt[] =<<<GMASCRIPT

to

  $HTMLFooterFmt['gma'] =<<<GMASCRIPT

At line 340 add:

    global $GmaFooterFmt;
    $GmaFooterFmt = $HTMLFooterFmt['gma'];


I presently have the code in Subversion, but it's not ready for public
access. Let me know if either option helps. Sorry for the headaches.
