There is NO decent "working Baidu Map extension" available --- Thus, I did not install one. As you probably know, you do not need an extension to embed a map into a page's content.
Also, there is no key required for this version of Baidu's Map API. This is really simple, copy the code here:
http://www.echinaguide.com/test/ between the first and last div and paste it into a new joomla article without out a wysiwyg editor.
Again you will see that there is a conflict between the js of the Baidu Map API and the Joomla 3.3.6+News2 install.
As stated before, "I downloaded and installed the latest gk_news2_quickstart_J!3.zip file from Gavickpro and used the content from here:
http://www.echinaguide.com/test/ to create a simple content page within the Joomla 3.3.6 and News2 installed framework...The result was the same! There is a conflict with the Joomla 3.3.6 + the News2 template install and the Baidu Map API." --- I installed this on a local server and did not add any extensions to the gk_news2_quickstart_J!3.zip install !
So please download and install the latest gk_news2_quickstart_J!3.zip on a local server running Joomla 3.3.6 and use the content here:
http://www.echinaguide.com/test/ to create a content page within Joomla 3.3.6 + News2 quick-start install. You will see there is a conflict. I hope you can resolve it.
Thanks !
