 * I recently had a security audit completed on my site, and we had an alert that
   there was an exposed Google Map API key found on our website. I’ve tracked the
   issue down to the Google Map API key that is used to display the map for the 
   locations within the Event Manager plugin. When I view source code for my site,
   I can view the Google Map API key used by the plugin to integrate with Google
   Maps. Is there a way to make the Google Map API key used by the Event Manager
   Plugin, not publicly accessible?

   Maps API:
