Hi everyone,
We are running AtoM 2.3 in Red Hat. For the past couple years, we have been using the "code" field in the geographic place access point to provide latitude and longitude coordinates for each place name. AtoM uses these coordinates to generate static Google Map titles. This feature did not require a Google Maps API key as far as I know.
Over the summer, we noticed that the static maps disappeared. It seems related to some changes that Google made to its Google Maps API.
But it's not clear why you need to enable billing.
It sounds like it's not free anymore? Have other AtoM users run into problems with your Google Maps API key? Do we have to pay Google to use a Google Maps API key in AtoM?
Thanks,
Creighton
