Answer 1

as of Jan 2017, unfortunately @Adi's answer, while it seems like it should work, does not. (Google's API key process is buggy)

you'll need to click "get a key" from this link: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key

also I strongly recommend you don't ever choose "secure key" until you are ready to switch to production. I did http referrer restrictions on a key and afterwards was unable to get it working with localhost, even after disabling security for the key. I had to create a new key for it to work again.

I had the same error. To fix the error:

1. Open the console menu Gallery Menu and select API Manager.
2. On the left, click Credentials and then click New Credentials.
3. Click Create Credentials.
4. Click API KEY.
5. Click Navigator Key (there are more options; It depends on when consumed).

You must use this new API Navigator Key, generated by the system.

Answer 5

Have you tried following the advice on the linked help page? The help page at http://g.co/mapsJSApiErrors says:

ApiNotActivatedMapError

The Google Maps JavaScript API is not activated on your API project. You may need to enable the Google Maps JavaScript API under APIs in the Google Developers Console.

See Obtaining an API key.

So check that the key you are using has Google Maps JavaScript API enabled.
