# Google Maps error creating map

 * I just installed the plugin and purchased a license key. When I try creating 
   a map if I enter data under “latitude, longitude” and hit enter the map never
   moves to show the updated location. If I click into the “Search By Address, Zip
   Code…” box in the map and try to start typing text, as soon as I do I get the
   message “This page can’t load Google Maps correctly.”
 * I have validated my Google API is copied/pasted correctly from Google Cloud Platform.
   I also checked that the “Maps JavaScript API” is enabled for this key. For good
   measure I also enabled the “Maps Embed API.” I’ve set Application restrictions
   to “None,” and API restrictions to “Don’t restrict key.” I still get the error.
 * I tried creating a map to show this error…there’s no way to really show it unless
   I create a login, and you go through the process of trying to create a map.

 * Hi:
 * Thanks for the reply. The website is [https://thearizonaexplorers.com](https://thearizonaexplorers.com).
   And just to confirm, I did indeed create the API key, added billing information,
   and updated the API key in WP Google Map settings.

 * Hi,
    Thanks for your quick reply. We debugged your website, seems no issue. Can
   you please create a Map from the plugin dashboard and put the shortcode inside
   a page.
 * Once added shortcode in any page, please let us know the page URL here.
 * Thanks

 * Sure, here you go:

 * When I go into “Add Map” to create a new map, the default location is NYC. I 
   can drag the map around to a new location within the “Add Map” dialog, I can 
   zoom in/out, etc., and then when I save the map is updated with the new location.
   Cool…but I (apparently) still can’t actually go to a location from the search
   bar in the top right of the page.
 * FYI I also added a screen shot on the page above so you can see exactly what 
   I’m seeing when I get the error on map creation. As soon as I type even a single
   character into the box above the map, I get the error.

 * Sorry, for the late reply. I see the map is showing without any error on the 
   website and there has a screenshot related to the issue. Can you please recheck
   the issue in your admin panel now?
 * Still, if you face any issues, please troubleshoot the issue and send us the 
   screenshot.
 * Thanks
