 * The instructions for setting up the google maps API are insufficient. I tried
   everything I could think of and still hit the Google “Usage Limit” after like
   5 page loads. The plugin instruction tell you to create two keys, but there’s
   only an entry box for one of them.
    WASTE OF TIME. AVOID IT.

 * Instructions don’t say you have to create two keys. They say you have to enable
   2 APIs.
