Is there a Google Photos API?

Why am I getting this Error with my google maps API key?

  • I am trying to get google maps to work on my website. I found this jquery plugin: http://gmap.nurtext.de/examples.html When I inserted it on my website and entered in my API key I get this error on my website: Google has disabled use of the Maps API for this application. The provided key is not a valid Google API Key, or it is not authorized for the Google Maps Javascript API v2 on this site. If you are the owner of this application, you can learn about obtaining a valid key here: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/v2/introduction.html#Obtaining_Key I did some research and found I needed to edit some reference thing. I edit with both these values in the referrer box http://www.beerportfolio.com/template.html *http://.beerportfolio.com/* But still my map will not load, any ideas what I am doing wrong here I just keep getting that error message

  • Answer:

    The gMap documentation (http://gmap.nurtext.de/documentation.html) starts with: Requirements There are a two requirements you need to meet before you can use gMap to display Google Maps on your website. First you need to sign up for a Google Maps API key. Second you need the jQuery library at least in version 1.3. Installation Download the latest version of gMap and include the Google Maps API along with jQuery and gMap in the <head> section of your website. Don't forget to replace "API_KEY" with your actual API key or the map won't work when used on a real domain!

Try the V3 API. V2 has been deprecated and a lot of my devs were complaining of similar problems while using plugins based on the old API. Three choices: 1. You can also send me the code on and I can check it out and get back to you. 2. Have you used jfiddle ? If you have, set up one and I can have a looksee there. 3. Give me a mail address and I will mail you working google map code.
