I tried it on my own with this code - it worked fine for me

Dynamic with key

Static without key

When surfing through the net I tumbled over an important note!

Google Maps JavaScript API v3

The Google Maps JavaScript API v3 does not require an API key to function correctly. However, we strongly encourage you to load the Maps API using an APIs Console key which allows you to monitor your application's Maps API usage. Learn how to use an APIs Console key.

See Google Maps API

So, apparently you no longer need a developer key! I tried it with both - static no key and dynamnic with key - both worked.
