Maps Setup

Full history and copyable troubleshooting steps live in Maps diagnostics.

1. Google Cloud Console → a project with billing enabled.
2. Enable Maps JavaScript API, Geocoding, Places API (New) and Elevation.
3. Credentials → create an API key.
4. Application restrictions → Websites → add every pattern listed above.
5. Copy the key here and press Save, then Check restrictions.

Packs cover roughly 1.5° around your default map centre at zoom 6–10.

OSM, topographic relief, satellite imagery, shaded relief, street vector and night basemaps are served from the workstation tile cache and need no Google key. When Google Maps fails, the operational map switches to them automatically.
