Google map problem

Hello! My google map was set up properly and was able to display the map exactly like what I expected. So it’s been a while that I haven’t visited that contact page since then. Today when I opened up that page again I found the map having a dark mask with labels “For development purposes only” on it. What’s problem?

Hello,

I have visited your website and found an error in console related google MAP not from our theme.

What do you mean exactly? does it mean I have to pay google for this api service?

Hello,

Yes the google map API is bullied now. So you need to enable billing first on google cloud platform to use Google Maps.

I thought it is a free service… because that is just a plain google map. Any free of charge alternatives then?

Hello,

You can try embedding the MAP instead.
