# Google maps usage limits?

 * I have this plugin installed on client’s site, and she is receiving a red circle
   with a line through it for the map widget with the URL [https://developers.google.com/maps/usagelimits](https://developers.google.com/maps/usagelimits)
 * The lightbox version of the map displays when you click on the red circle.
 * I can’t believe that my client is getting 25,000+ calls for the map within a 
   24-hour period, which is the limit set by Google.

 * Does anyone have any experiences/ideas as to this happening?
 * Thanks!

 * Have you created an API key and entered it in the plugin’s settings?

 * Thanks for the reply, WebFactory. I was able to get this working by following
   the links/steps/instructions on your plugin settings.
 * My client had installed this plugin prior to my involvement and I did not realize
   that the plugin had not been configured correctly to begin with.
