Anyone notice the Google maps action you no longer can get an API key from google maps?
“The API keys generated by this page are no longer available. Please see the relevant section below for the API you using.”
Or have I missed an action update somewhere?

Yes. I see the same thing since they made changes. Figuring it out is beyond my paygrade

I took a look at this and even went through some of their examples, it seems even google have problems with their API keys:

Looks like the reason for the API change is that google want to monetize the maps service…
The Free lunch is over for heavy users (25,000 map “hits” are made in a day).

Joe,
As many designers are setting maps up on the client’s behalf, do you use the clients google account? Or your own?
Just thinking is using your own google account on multiple client sites you just might hit the 25,000 hits in a day (probably won’t be anywhere near that but you never know)

Good question. I’m pretty sure that they only start charging if you hit 25,000 hits a day per domain, so you should be ok using your Google ID.

Hi,
Out of pure coincidence I’m having to include a google map. It was so easy before but now its a bit of a nightmare.
Well I’ve got the key but I’m finding the map is not appearing when the page is uploaded. It appears on the FW page with the correct location so something is working but its not appearing as said once uploaded. Any thoughts.

It works ok on an uploaded test page, sitting on its own but not when part of an inline setup. ???

What does this mean for maps that are still working? I’ve 12 across 9 sites that are still okay. Will they fail soon?

The only resolution I found was to create the map on a separate page (at size needed) and use the iframe action to pull it into the page required.
Not an ideal solution but it works for now. I need to check to see how previous maps are ‘framed’. later.

I just added a map and got the ‘blank box’ problem. I found a key and added it… tried the whole thing a couple of times over and even refreshed the key and tried the different one.
Still can’t see a map

Hi everyone,
I am still having issues with this and Google have gone to v3 now. Has anyone been able to solve it with inline boxes?
I have the API key and I have set up my URL as an allowed referrer, but the map still isn’t showing.
Any help would be more than welcome.

Hi Raven and Kryten,
I have just been working with Joe at Softpress on fixing mine and it’s because I had the map action as an inflow action item.
If your maps are the same, then remove them > add a regular HTML item in it’s place (inflow as before) > then re-add the map in this HTML item as a regular action item.
worked for me 
Thanks Joe!

So you’re adding the map as a layered item inside of an inline HTML box?
