The Google Maps API server rejected your request

Question

I m working on an application which renders google maps on an image as below

Answer 1

I had the same issue. I used this instead of this and that resolved the issue. Some other api parameters didn't work on the second URL either (specifically marker styles), guessing the old API is deprecated

Would also recommend using https as opposed to http. This way your users wont get cert warnings if they view the page over SSL
