Hi Robin,

It seems that the API v2 that we use has been deprecated:

https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/v2/introduction#Obtaining_Key.

Although it will work until May, 2013; I have created a task to change this for their API v3 instead.

Neverthless, you can still use V2. Here's what you do. Click Google's APIs Console at https://code.google.com/apis/console. You'll be asked to login with a gmail user.

You'll see then:

Then scroll click on Services and scroll down to "Google Maps API v2" and turn that "On":

Now go to API Access and click on "Create new Server Key"...

Complete enter the domain for your server (make sure you include the /lams/ at the end):

Click "Create" and then you'll have your key:

Copy/paste that into the Tool management for GMap tool in the Sysadmin menu... and voila!

Thanks,

Ernie
