Google maps API key signup

[#1]

Hi,

Can you please advise which services need to be selected in order to sign up for Google Maps API key and use that key in QlikView to develop geographical maps?

I signed up for below services.. am only interested in showing regiona/country maps based on user selections..

Google Maps API v2

Google Maps API v3

Google Maps Coordinate API

Google Maps Geolocation API

Static Maps API

After signup, I am using below URL as Dynamic Image in Colors tab -

http://maps.google.com/staticmap?center=10.75929,14.39395&zoom=1&maptype=satellite&size=640x400&key=...

This link, when tried directly on browser, gives below error -

This web site needs a different Google Maps API key. A new key can be generated at http://code.google.com/apis/maps/.

Appreciate any help to resolve this key issue..

I also replied with this in http://community.qlik.com/message/321080, but for me the solution was as simple as modifying the URL used as the frame background -- simply remove the .jpg from the end of the URL and for me the map started working again.

Kind of google to change that on all of us, eh?

Dear Madu Raju

the Google API key is free for personal use (in localhost) but for business use it is not free.
