Google Maps error

Closed this issue · 4 comments

The following error displays when trying to display google maps in the blog posts: this page didn’t load google maps correctly.

Are you referring to an event on the website, @fabrgu, or to #62?

All the events on the website that are using google maps. For example: https://clojurebridge.org/events/2017-11-17-london
and
https://clojurebridge.org/events/2017-09-22-melbourne-au

It seems Google has changed their pricing. From Maps Static API Usage and Billing:

Reminder: To use our Maps, Routes, and Places APIs:

  • All Google Maps Platform API requests must include an API key; we no longer support keyless access.
  • You must enable billing on each of your projects.

This is quite annoying. We should see whether there's a free alternative.

We should use Mapbox for this. The free tier should be enough for our views.
