As you have been able to check the last days, on websites or online stores, some of the elements, components or widgets that are used or integrated to show Google Maps, are showing messages or warnings type:
"This page can not load Google Maps correctly"
This is because Google, after almost 13 years, has decided to have more control, in the use of some of its APIs.
In order to continue using the Google Maps API, and Google maps, which appear on web pages or online stores, are displayed without any message or warning, from now on, it will be advisable that each company or user, create their own account in Google Cloud Platform.
Once the account is created, it will be possible to create a new API, with which, once entered in our CMS / Web Manager, automatically, the maps will be shown again normally.
The use of the Google Maps API service is limited to a maximum of monthly requests, and if your website or online store exceeds the use, you can decide whether to pay / pay the cost or wait until it returns to "zero" at the end of each month.
However, we believe that most web pages or online stores will not exceed this maximum limit of use, for which Google "gives" up to $ 200 per month, to use this or other services in Google Cloud Platform.
In this link you can create an account in Google Cloud Platform and its API so that your maps are displayed correctly.
