Google Maps v3 api for localhost not working

First of all: Google Maps 3 does not need an api key anymore, so you are fine with

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false

as an URL.

(As Jeff Hoye pointed out, as of June 22, 2016, an API Key is required again.)

And then you forgot the “new” in this line:

var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map-canvas"), mapOptions);

With those changes your map will be displayed.
