I have a page which displays a google map however the page does not consistently load the map especially when navigating to the page from an href in another page. I am running it on Chrome on Desktop and on Android and the problem is persistent on both platforms.
I've tried to remove the async and loading the api after I call my script however it has not helped to solve the consistency.
This is my HTML file with my API key removed
