    I keep getting the following error pop up in my Dashboard:

    “Geocode was not successful for the following reason: REQUEST_DENIED”

    Could you tell me what that is and how to fix it?

    The most likely reason is that you need to add billing to your Google Cloud Console project, see https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/directions/usage-and-billing

    Hello,

    If you want to use Google Maps API you will need to setup an account and get an API Key.

    I have set it to Open Street Map for now.

    Settings are at:

    GeoDirectory – Design – Map

    The issue is that you will need a SSL certificate, your site needs to be HTTPS, not just HTTP.

    Thanks
