problems getting Google Maps API key

Post by Burzum » Thu Aug 16, 2018 12:36 pm

Hi

Following the wiki i'm trying to get the Google Maps API key. I have Android, I have gmail but google refuses my pre-paid credit card as payement. I don't have the "standard" credit card, and i don't want to get one only for this, Is there a workaround to get that damn api key or I have just to deal with it and change meteo template program?

I'm so sad about it.

Hi,
Google made some major changes in the API obtaining policy and payments, I cannot tell what the current system is, not to mention that this also differs from country to country. Looks like the old API keys generated previously still work (not sure how long they will do). MT will work without Google API key fine, just the pages with maps might not work as expected.

thank you very much for the answer. If it will work fine without I'm ok. It isn't big drama to me not having maps :mrgreen:

Yes so far the previous API keys still work... for now.
