Hi Team. love Amelia 2.3.1, but this one problem is driving me nuts. Not sure if its a Google config issue or something with Amelia.
When i add an address to the Locations page in the wp-admin. I get the below JS Error. I'm using a google API, which should be activated for this website it has Maps JavaScript API turned on and billing setup.
You need to log into Google Console, and install all these APIs:
Basically, you need to create the Google Map API Key on your Google account, and add your billing account. You can read more about this here.
When you're done with this, you need to copy/paste the Google Map API Key in General settings of Amelia.
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.
So, unfortunately until you do this, you will be experiencing error with the location.

This API project is not authorized to use this API. Places API error: ApiNotActivatedMapError
