You forgot to mention the Google API Key to use the maps! I'm getting a MissingKeyMapError when I followed your instructions exactly as given!

Hey I was following your tutorial, then got lost. What index.html file are you using? Is it one that you randomly made or is it based from somewhere?

Couldn't get the map to display until I went into the google-map.html file and changed the height of the google-map dom-module from 100% to 400px. Anyone know why this is? I decided to do this because from the Chrome Inspector I deduced that the google-map style properties were overriding the 400px that we were setting in the main.css file. (Btw, I'm using the exact same html5 boilerplate template as in the tutorial)

I don't quite understand what python server has to do with polymer project and whats really going on under the hook? I come from node js background and am quite used to server created from node command "node scriptName.js"

These tutorials are not really helping me. The way polymer is right now you can't follow these tutorials step by step. It's extremely frustrating.
