This web site needs a different Google Maps API Key

2 May, 2011

Hi,

We are currently getting a message when we view the dashboards with google maps in the reports:

This web site needs a different Google Maps API Key. A new key can be generated at http://code.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html.

Can you please point me in the right direction on how we can update the API? Where can we locate the API etc?


Thanks

Hi Sarah,

You need a new API key, which can be entered through report styles in admin.
The API key is based on the domain which is being connected to (the one we ship with is for "localhost").

You can get an API key at http://code.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html

I hope this helps.

Let me know if you run into any other issues.

Regards,
David

Hi Eva,

You can enter the API key under;
Administration > Report Styles : Google Maps Key
