Google Maps not working without API Key

Hi there!

As the Google Maps widget is not working without API key it is not usable anymore. Emmet lite for example is providing a textbox for adding the API key, but without this you essentially can not use the module without buying the Google Maps Pro Addon.

To use the Maps JavaScript API, you must get an API key which you can then add to your app or website.

(emphasize by me)

On https://motopress.com/documentation/wordpress/plugins/content-editor/how-to/how-to-register-api-keys-for-google-maps-addon/ you recommend this plugin
https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/api-key-for-google-maps/ as an alternative but this is not working for me. The maps module still says “Usage limit succeeded.”

Any help is much appreciated!

All the best,
Torsten
