Hello,
I created an API for my client and added it to the map of the custom content module of Transformer (see captures).
The maps is showing but the is an error message (see capture) and an overlay saying “for development purposes only”. I don’t understand why because the API key is not for dev and should make the maps be displayed.
I even deleted your demo maps to be sure that the API key isn’t used.
Any idea why?
Thanks!

Hi,
It seems you need to create a billing account and use the API key: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/usage-and-billing

Hi,
Do you have the possibilty not to use Google maps anymore because you have to pay now to use it.
Can you use OpenStreetMap instead? it’s free and open?
https://www.openstreetmap.org
Thanks!

Hello,
Unless I misunderstood, but yes, I have to enter a credit card number, they offer me $300 worth of credit and then I have to pay.
I think openstreetmap is a good open source project. You might have a look in it 😉
Or you can let the user choose google maps for those you want to have Gmap ou openstreet if you can.
Thanks for your help!

ha yes I had heard that the gmap service in a site is no longer free…. I find this google policy not very happy….
Under these conditions I waive the use of this module. Are you planning to develop an alternative?

Hi,
There are $200 per/m for free in the google map API: https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/pricing/, that can meet for most of merchants.
Best regards.
