Thanks for raising this. I don't know much about Colab. How did you install `gmaps`? By running `!pip install gmaps` in a notebook?

`gmaps` leans on widgets very heavily. It definitely won't work if you can't get widgets working. I'd also say widgets are a core part of Jupyter, so if you're right...

I'd actually keep this issue open until we have gmaps working on Colab (even if it isn't a gmaps specific issue).

gmaps definitely works with JupyterLab. Make sure you follow the entire set of [instructions](https://jupyter-gmaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html#installing-jupyter-gmaps-for-jupyterlab). And yes, you can [save the output as html](https://jupyter-gmaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/export.html#exporting-to-html).

> Colab vs gmaps should really work together - aren't they all from the Google shop I am not in any way affiliated with Google.

The `jupyter nbextension` mechanism is only for the classic Notebook. JupyterLab has a completely independent extension system (I understand how this can be confusing). As far as I remember, this...

Can you refer to [this issue](https://github.com/pbugnion/gmaps/issues/282) about issues with JupyterLab?

Ah interesting -- For reference, the Python code needs to live in the same environment as the kernel, whereas the frontend extension needs to live in the same environment as...

Thanks for raising an issue! In the future, it's probably worth not using words like 'dumb' though. As a workaround, you can simulate a click through your browser's JavaScript console...

This is great, thank you! I wonder if it would be a good idea to move your sentence that says "If you get a "this page can't load Google maps...
