Just recently the World Map is not showing properly it has for Develoment Purposes written across it on all my sites. I have several trees but I also have a Subscription one and they are all showing the same.

I am having the same issue as well when looking at the Unique Website Visitors Map. There is also a pop up that asks if I am the owner of this site. When I click on this it shows "Troubleshooting

Under certain circumstances, a darkened map, or 'negative' Street View image, watermarked with the text "for development purposes only", may be displayed. This behavior typically indicates issues with either an API key or billing. In order to use Google Maps Platform products, billing must be enabled on your account, and all requests must include a valid API key. The following flow will help you troubleshoot the issue."

Same problem here too.

It must be something to do with not having a Google API key.

I know how to get hold of one but don't know where I would put the long alphanumerical code in TribalPages once I had it!

I’ve tried ‘Support’ but get no response, you’re right about the need for an API key. My conclusion was that only someone at Ttibalpages could set it up..hence we’re a bit stuck.Someone must have come across before?

I had not appreciated there was a chrome extension for checking . if you have the correct map API. Apparently my site has the correct API. So am I no further forward. in understanding why its giving an error message and saying 'For development purposes only.'
