Use Google Maps in Map Panel

[frankdarwin]

Hello,
I would like to use Google Maps as Map Type and have created an API Key and entered it in the Preferences.
Nevertheless I get an error message in the Map Panel.
What am I doing wrong?

Follow the instructions here: https://www.photools.com/imatch-retired/api-keys-explained/
Make sure you enter a valid credit card number. Google requires it, even if you'll never exceed your free monthly quota.
Enable all the required APIs: Maps Elevation API and Maps Javascript API

Hhhmm, I guess making all your keys public is probably not a good idea ...

I have removed the attachment.

PLEASE IMMEDIATELY DELETE THE KEY you have used in your screen shot and get yourself a new key.

Never publish your secret API keys. Anybody who wants you harm can use them to abuse Google Maps, causing high cost for you.
