 * Hello,
    I get the “for developmental purposes only” watermark over the map. Has
   anyone tried installing a Google API key and fixed this? Does the developer (
   who seems to have abandoned the plugin) also need to install a new API? If so,
   it wouldn’t work for me to install the API. Has anyone found a workaround? Thanks,
   Ragha

 * It’s nothing to do with an API key (though you probably still need one). It’s
   to do with Google demanding an account backed by a credit card to continue using
   its mapping (even though in most cases no payment will be taken).
 * For workaround see next post.

 * I have now an API key that I have entered via Google API Key and they have my
   credit card, but it still didn’t work. So I am trying another map.
    Thanks,
