The problem was that they have their "quick start" out of date.

It says you should only provide them with your API key but the thing is that there is a new version of the same website which they don't have links to from their guide but which you get a link to elsewhere( I got offered when in "billing" )

The new service is called Cloud Console and I found the API on/off buttons there.

You have to enable the "Static Maps API", "Google Maps API" and "Google Maps Embed API" and make sure to have your link in an iframe div

Answer 3

As Dominik said, go here:

https://console.developers.google.com/project/%your-project-name%/apiui/apis/library?q=google%20maps

Enable both APIs:

• Google Maps Embed API
• Static Maps API

Then go here: https://console.developers.google.com/project/%your-project-name%/apiui/credential

• Create New Key
• Browser Key

And you're done.
