New Google maps API keys requirement

Envato Authors ThemeForest

Hi

well this is awkward. Now google maps requires an API key and its limited to 25k requests after that you need to pay per requests.

This is already in action and the old version will be offline from October. We have already updated our themes but it’s a very bad experience for our clients to have to generate api keys no matter how well you instruct them.

Any ideas how to make this easier?

Cheers

Check out the Post titled “Where to put API key for Google Maps”. I just posted a solution there that will hopefully get you rolling down the right path.
