 * Hi,
 * I’m unravelling some issues, wondering if I’ve discovered that I have to operate
   our implementation with a Google API Key. Is this required now?
 * Issue: I recently added a meeting for the “Allegany County Jail” and the address
   goes missing. What I mean is, the map displays (sometimes) but once the new record
   is updated the information is absent in the editor. Re-entering it reproduces
   the same behavior.
 * Also: Website links, meeting info and contacts don’t show up in the search results:
 * [https://insideouthope.org/meetings/allegany-county-jail/](https://insideouthope.org/meetings/allegany-county-jail/)
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fgoogle-maps-api-key-4%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi David,
 * Yes, you need either a Google or a Mapbox API key because of the pricing change
   last year. More info here: [https://meetingguide.org/google-api](https://meetingguide.org/google-api)
   Looks like you went with Mapbox. Looks good!
 * Addresses are sent to Google for verification and correction. Looks like you’re
   using 4884 NY-19, Belmont, NY 14813 for this record, which looks good.
 * It’s true that you can’t search for meeting contacts or web addresses. Those 
   don’t seem like things people would ordinarily keyword search for. You can keyword
   search for name, notes, location, location notes, address, group, and group notes.
