 * Hi,
 * First of all, great plugin! I’ve installed in on a client’s site a couple years
   ago and it’s been working great for them. I got a text from my client this afternoon
   and she let me know that it wasn’t working anymore.
 * When I tried to load the page that has the map and the store locations on it,
   a map would load, but it gave this error message:
 * This page can’t load Google Maps correctly.
 * And across the map in small letters it says something to the effect of “for development
   purposes only.”
 * And none of the store addresses would show on the map or be listed down below.
 * I went through Google’s instructions on creating a browser API and a server API
   and that did seem to help so that the map would show, the location pins would
   so on the map and the list of locations would now show below the map.
 * But, over the top of the map, I’d still get the same error message, “This page
   can’t load Google Maps correctly.” and the map still had the text over it to 
   the effect of “development purposes only.”
 * WordPress (5.1.1), themes and plugins are all up to date.
 * Do you know what I need to do to fix this? Thank you so much for your help!
 * Ted

 * The ‘for development purposes only.’ error shows up when no billing account exists
   for Google Maps. This is required as last summer, and comes with $200 free credit
   a month.
