Hi Guys,

Firstly - Love your work, as does my client!

Small problem with Google Maps element on my published client URL (http://www.mayfield-sm.com/). It's trying to suggest that the API key needs refreshing or something but I'm not sure. All I get is the grey box and a Sorry.

I have a client preview version sitting on (http://www.pivotal-marketing.co.uk/MayfieldSM/index.html) appearing as I hoped (most of the time anyway)

So any suggestions?

All the best,

Neil

Hello,

Using the Google Maps API Key was optional before but it has become mandatory recently. Please find the following code:

http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js

and replace it with:

https://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY

You can generate your API Key for Google Maps from here: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/ and then Click on Get a Key in the Header.

Additionally, make sure you select the Browser Key and also add your Domain Name in the HTTP Referrer Section.

This should definitely fix your issue. Let us know if we can help you with anything else or if you find any further issues.

Hi, I have the same error but I can't find the line of code that you suggested changing - am I doing something else wrong?

My site is at http://www.croydonboxing.com - the map is at the bottom.

Thanks in advance!
