ERROR: Google Maps API error: MissingKeyMapError

Solution 1:

Yes. Now Google wants an API key to authenticate users to access their APIs`.

You can get the API key from the following link. Go through the link and you need to enter a project and so on. But it is easy. Hassle free.

https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key

Once you get the API key change the previous

<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js"></script>

to

<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?libraries=places&key=your_api_key_here"></script>

Now your google map is in action. In case if you are wondering to get the longitude and latitude to input to Maps. Just pin the location you want and check the URL of the browser. You can see longitude and latitude values there. Just copy those values and paste it as follows.

new google.maps.LatLng(longitude ,latitude )
