You might have noticed that all of a sudden the Google Map on your website is broken.
Google updated their Google Maps API and you now have to pay to use it.
Google is currently offering a free $200 credit, I’d claim it while you can: https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/pricing/
If you don’t want to use the API, but still want a Google Map on your website, you can just embed a free map directly from Google Maps using an embed code.
Embed instructions:
- Google the location you’re looking to map
- Click on the map in Google search results
- Click “Share” then “Embed a Map”
- Add the embed code to your website
