Hi guys.
I have updated to 2.0.2. I'm getting the issue that I had in 1.4 where by entering an address gives a blank google maps pop-up. I know someone added some code for 1.4 to fix this.
Cheers
Dave

Hello Dave,

The api key which you set seems to be incorrect. Can you verify that you copied the correct API key? The reason is because Google Maps is throwing the following errors,


The Google Maps API server rejected your request. This API project is not authorized to use this API. Please ensure this API is activated in the Google Developers Console: https://console.developers.google.com/apis/api/static_maps_backend?project=_

Hi Mark.
I've checked and it's a valid key. I have even cleared the PageSpeed cache and rebooted the server just in case, but it's still not happy. The key was working until the 2.x upgrade.

Hello Dave,

Hm, that's strange. Is it possible that you provide us with your Google account so that we can take a look at the way you have setup the api credentials?

Hi Jan,

Can you create a new forum post and provide us with your google console access so we can check on your api configuration?

I can confirm that by activating the static maps API the specific issue for me is resolved. Unlike Jan however, I don't use the map functionality for addresses, so am unable to confirm whether that problem still exists.

Thanks for the heads up Jan on how you fixed the issue I was experiencing.
