Code Challenge for Google Maps API not passing

The challenges pass until the last step and after the last step, it says that step 2 is no longer passing and it is null. Here is my code.

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Map</title> <style type="text/css"> body, html { margin:0; padding:0; } body, html, #map { width:100%; height:100%; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="map"></div> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=AIzaSyAn8fk75K8kCdW6pQ4B7yoBHJNrUbleieY&sensor=false"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
    var mapOptions = {
    center: new google.maps.LatLng(28.42, -81.58),
    zoom: 18,
    mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.SATELLITE 
  };

    var mapElement = document.getElementById('map');
    var theMap = new google.maps.Map(mapElement, mapOptions);
</script>

</body> </html>

I'm at the same point in the challenge you are and have the same results. The preview works fine at every step, including step 7, but the challenge breaks on step 7 and does not accept the code.

Same here. There's nothing wrong with the code, either! Makes me sad. Don't know if it helps, but the console shows an error with the mapTypeId I think.

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'SATELLITE' of undefined
