I am trying to display some JSON data in Google maps. I copied Google's default JSON file for testing so both files are exactly the same.
When I load the file off Google's server then the data displays correctly:
map.data.loadGeoJson('https://storage.googleapis.com/maps-devrel/google.json');
However, when I load the data off my local host it does not display:
map.data.loadGeoJson('http://localhost/WebApp/test.json');
