Google Maps API Key

To use the Google Maps JavaScript API you need a Google account. Beginning on June 11, 2018, you’ll need to enable billing with a credit card to the account. You can use as much or as little as you need and only pay for what you use each month. When you enable billing, you get $300 to spend on Google Cloud Platform over the next 12 months. Most users can continue to use Google Maps Platform for free with this credit.

To avoid a service interruption to your projects, please register your project, generate an API key, and enable a billing account. Once you generate and secure an API key, make sure to update your NSP database with the new API key.
