Google Maps Key

[#1]

I am trying to incorporate a Google Map into a QlikView workbook I'm developing on my local drive. I am having a problem with the key that has to be generated in order for this to work. Since I do not want to use this on a website, what domain name should I register (if any) when I generate the key? Any help on this would really be appreciated.

I'm having the same problem. I was told the URL that you register was not important, but I've tried to register several URL's and it keeps on failing. I get the following error message from google :

Not Found

The requested URL /maps/api_signup?url=URLHERE was not found on this server.

Any advice?

Have google changed the way they issue these keys recently?

Thanks

Paul

Try to register with:

http://localhost

or

http://127.0.0.1

Quote from: http://code.google.com/intl/sv/apis/maps/faq.html

"If you are developing on a local drive (file://), the key check is skipped in the Google Maps Javascript API and it is less restrictive in the Google Maps API for Flash. Note also that developing on the local drive with the Google Maps API for Flash will result in tiles with "DEBUG" painted on them. If you are developing on localhost, you will need to register a key for http://localhost. "
