The default settings for Google Maps engine are not working and I get this error when using the test option.
I also tried to create my own version of Google Maps Engine but I got the same results.
Also, when I do a simple harvesting test for keyword "dentist" using the Google engine in custom harvester, I don't get any results. AOL, Yahoo and others work perfectly.
I tried to find a solution online before posting this thread but there are so little in-depth tutorials and informational posts on Scrapebox usage.
Can someone please create a detailed tutorial and explain how to scrape Google Maps for url's or emails?
Thank you!
Google maps works fine for me. All of your errors point to the fact that your proxies/ips are blocked.
Go to settings >> use multi threaded harvester - and uncheck this. Also under that same settings menu uncheck the use custom harvester. Then try and harvest, there will be a status column. What errors are you getting in the status column?
Here is a video that goes over how to do this and other troubleshooting for the harvester that might be helpful. http://youtu.be/2QaLWgTXsRo
"so little in-depth tutorials and informational posts on Scrapebox usage." Have you looked at my youtube channel? I have over 14 hours of video on how to use scrapebox, in fact the most recent is The Art of Harvesting, which is 24 mins long. Have you mastered everything in it yet? I have a LOT of indepth tutorials.

How to use google maps urls? Easy just tick off google maps in the custom harvester and harvest like normal.
What do you mean how to use it for email? You can use the email grabber to grab emails from urls, but the url that your going to get from google maps is probably a home page, which doesn't likely have emails on it.
You would want to grab your urls with the maps scraper
Trim them to root if they aren't already
do a
site:domain.com
on the regular google engine I mean
Then take the results from that and use the link extractor to pull internal links and then maybe take those results and pull internal 1 more time. Then mash them all together and remove duplicates and then you can use the email grabber to grab emails.
Also under options you can turn on the option to save the url with the mail address, if thats a help to you.
