hiddenPostProcess does not work with splunk for google maps module

does the google maps module support HiddenPostProcess ?

my view works off single HiddenSearch and HiddenPostProcess searches for two dashboard panels. but when one of the panels is a google maps panel, the maps panel renders but does not plot anything on the map. if i take the equivalent search and place it in a non-postprocess view, the map renders as expected.

is there some prerequisite to use the google map module in a HiddenPostProcess scenario ?

I don't believe the GoogleMaps module pays attention to any postProcess search that it gets from upstream. The module does use the postProcess argument to the API, in that depending on its autoPostProcess param, it will send different postprocess searches when it gets its data. However whether you set autoPostProcess to True or False, it won't incorporate any postProcess you might have put in there via the HiddenPostProcess or PostProcess modules.
