Google Maps Platform

For setting up Google Maps API to be used on a website follow the following steps.

Note that you will need the clients credit card to complete this setup. Google requires a credit card in case there is enough activity with the api to require charging for the service. Google provides $200 credit every month towards the api usage. Most websites will not use up this credit so there should be no charge.

  1. Login to the clients OCG master gmail account. This should be available via the CRM under the customer accounts module of the organization that this is for.
  2. Go to https://mapsplatform.google.com/ and follow the steps. The result should be an API key that you can copy and paste in the appropriate place on the website.
