 * We don’t issue API keys nor are they in any way associated with us – it’s all
   controlled by Google. This article explains how the process works – [https://www.gmapswidget.com/documentation/generate-google-maps-api-key/](https://www.gmapswidget.com/documentation/generate-google-maps-api-key/)

 * Yes, you need an API key with any plugin. It’s Google’s requirement.
