Obtaining the right google api key

[timbo100]

Thanks for this project. I'd like to explore the use of Google maps in my application based on Spring Boot framework and Vaadin. I've not used Google maps API but as I explore and read about it it seems like there are a lot options and I want to avoid going down any rabbit wholes.

Please offer some guidance on what I need to look for in order to explore your project on my own? What "product" and or "project" I should be signing up for?

And then, where is the "-D option set?

Any further directions one how to use the site to get the right key would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Here's the answer, thanks:

• visit developer.google.com/maps, login to your favorite google account
• Do the Get Started path, provide a credit card
• Before you know you'll be given a google api key to cut/paste
• On the command line within your cloned project issue "mvn jetty:run -Dgoogle.maps.api=
• done.
