Uncaught reference error: $ is not defined

So I have been adding google map to a site I am building with the help of the "build an interactive website" course. I have gone through most of the videos, and get to the end part on the video "fixing info windows and google maps" when loading the final site on a server I get the error "Uncaught reference error: $ is not defined. However I have the jquery file loaded correctly and it was working through the whole process. Any clue what I need to do to fix this?

The map loads, but the marker and addressed area does not. The map just loads to the default area

I included the CDN and it worked. Any clue why? I downloaded the script from the jquery site and saved it as a file in the directory of my site. But after included the CDN it took the error away and the map loaded as wanted.
