Hi

I was trying to send a private message, but I wasn't allowed. (Or maybe I am doing it not correctly I don't know, I am new to this forum). Anyhow I have attached the files that were requested. I hope it is what you need and hopefully you can make this message into a private one.

@Pachinko

Did you get the Google API key as suggested?

Replace
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sen ... "></script>
with
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?key ... "></script>

I got the API key and did what you asked. It took some time after the change but when I retried yesterday evening it worked.
I do have one question: is the use of the API key free? I now requested one with my personal Google account because he asked me to log in. In the future this would need to change to a company account but I want to make sure that there is no extra cost involved in using the API key.

Thank you already for the great support!

When you requested the API did it mention anything about limitations for the use of it? This question is probably answered best on their page since we do not have direct control of their API.

I had a look on their website and until 25 000 requests a day the use is free. So for our company that is no issue. Thank you for the support it works now :)

Just be aware this is an AJAX driven metric so depending on usage and settings, 25,000 requests can be relatively easy to hit.
