Google Maps displaying with "For Development Purposes Only"

[Brooks More]

For the last couple of GC builds the google map that shows my rides loads normally, but then quickly has a pop-up box that says the map is, "For Development Purposes Only." It asks if I own the website and then the map becomes grayed over and there is a watermark with the Development Only text.

Does this occur to anyone else? Is there a setting in GC to fix this?

Thanks

Yes, it's due to a change in Google Maps licencing.

Go to the chart options and change to OpenStreet map or, to continue using Google Maps, get an API key and enter it.

Thanks Alex. Much appreciated!

I am using a Google API I created, but it continues to show the same message: "For development purposes only".

Using GC 3.6 Dev build id 4002 (November, 20th). Same on windows and Linux. I have had the same issue with two previous 3.6 builds.

I think the API is ok, as I have tested it asking for data using Google REST API.

Also, in google console, I have noticed that there are calls with every try from GC, and the end up with error; I do not know how this console works, nor I can see error details, I can only see there are calls to "Maps JavaScript API" and 100% have errors. That 'activity' is enabled in my console.

Maybe I have to do something else in google. It is a mess, all that stuff: projects, activities, services,...

The alternative is to config the Map chart to use OpenStreetMap.

Thanks! The solution was: link the project to a billing account. Now it works!
