I’m unable to get the venue google maps to show up correctly. It’s worked fine before, but just recently it has stopped working altogether. This is the error on the page:
Google Maps API error: InvalidKeyMapError

I have saved an active/enabled key into EE > Venues > Google Maps, but it still displays this blank, grey map with that error code. Is there anything known with the latest 4.9.53.p version?

Hi there,

The Google Maps is verified to be working on the current version. There’s an example here:

Here’s what Google says to do to fix an InvalidKeyMapError:

The demo you link to isn’t even using a key at all, so not a true reference to a ‘working’ version.

EE Demo:
<script type=’text/javascript’ src=’https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=’></script&gt;

Mine:
<script type=’text/javascript’ src=’https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=%5Bactual-key-here%5D’></script&gt;

Interestingly though, I removed my key altogether in the Venue settings, left it blank, and saved. Now, the page loads the map just fine again, but does throw two warnings.

Please double check that using a real world and actual Google Maps API Key does work in the latest version. Not just when left blank. Thank you.
