[How To] Generate an Google Maps API Key

[Phil (Support)]

Google Maps API

Google has changed their Maps API, so when you get an API error on your installation or the maps don’t show up, it is due to a Google update that requires API keys to be used from now on for all new domains that haven’t been registered by google after the 22nd of June. For more information please refer to this post https://googlegeodevelopers.blogspot.de/2016/06/building-for-scale-updates-to-google.html
So from now on you will need to generate an API key to integrate google maps.

Using the Address field / Request Denied pop up

To use the “address” field of the Google Maps element instead of Latitude and Longitude values, you need to activate the Geocoding API for your Google Maps API Key. Just go to the Google Maps API console https://console.developers.google.com and activate the Geocoding API.
