I've added the correct Google Maps API to the settings, deactivated and activated the Amelia plugin but all my locations do not work and show an error with Google Maps. I do not know how to resolve this issue at the moment
You need to enable all necessary APIs in the Google Console:
Also, you have to add your billing account. You can read more about this here.
After doing that you should enter the Google Map API Key in General plugin settings?
Unfortunately, this is the only way of getting the maps to work correctly. I'll add a link that explains why (it's not up to us, but instead is implemented by Google):
Google has recently announced the launch of its new Google Maps Platform, which “introduces changes to their products, pricing, and support to provide…greater flexibility, transparency, and control.” These changes will affect every individual and every company which is using Google Maps and its API to power functionality on their websites.
The changes to Google Maps kicked in on June 11th, 2018 and require users to create a valid API key for each of their web projects that use Google Maps to display data. You’ll also need to enable billing with a credit card in much the same way that you need to add your credit card details before you start running Google AdWords. Google says that by doing this, you’ll also be able to scale up and down more easily with less downtime and fewer performance issues on your website.
These new requirements mean that Google has stopped offering support for any requests that don’t include an API key. Now that these changes have taken place, calls to the Maps JavaScript API and Street View API return only poor quality maps with a watermark. Invalid requests to the Maps Static API, Directions API, Distance Matrix API, Geocoding API, Geolocation API, Places API, Roads API, and Time Zone API will all return an error.
I wasn't aware that Google now charges for every 1000 api calls. In that case I'll just leave it blanc. I'm now adding the address details in the title of the location so it shows up in the events view. This is workable for me.
The actual Google Maps aren't shown anywhere with events besides in the backend view anyway right?
Is there any limitation when I don't enter an actual address but just leave the address in the name? The customer still sees the address on the events view on the website so it doesn't seem like there is any change in functionality right?
I personally have Amelia installed on a localhost, and have 6 locations set up for testing purposes. None of them have addresses defined, and everything works just fine.

Hi again Marc.
Yeah, that is correct.
You can add locations even with this limitation, but to add addresses, you'd need to add them through the database, in wp_amelia_locations table.
Best regards.
