# Google Maps API error: MissingKeyMapError

 * Hi,
 * When I edit, a map appears briefly, then it disappears and it’s replaced by “
   Oops! Something went wrong. This page didn’t load Google Maps correctly. See 
   the JavaScript console for technical details.” When I inspect, I see this error:“
   Google Maps API error: MissingKeyMapError”
 * I tried adding my own API key, but then it says there are two keys included and
   there is going to be problems. Which happened, so I removed my own keys.
 * How do I fix this??? Please help.

 * Hi [@anacamelo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anacamelo/)
 * Sorry for missing this post.
 * You can add your API key to your map by going to ‘Maps’ -> ‘Settings’ -> ‘Advanced
   Settings’ and entering it in the relevant field.
 * Does this help?

 * Hello,
    I have sucessfully installed go_maps into my new typo3 7.6 website for
   our holiday flat. Also I have got an google API key. My problem is now how to
   insert the key into the extension. Bei searching the extension directory I found
   two .txt files (constants.txt and setup.txt). I assume here must the key be implemented,
   but how is the correct coding. I try different versions but I alwas got an error-
   message from google (I’m not very familiar with typo script / java) Can you please
   advise me how to do it in the rigt way? Herbert

    one step forward. By implenting as address a biger city (I take KIEL)
   and the press the update-button I now got a map, and I can implent the map as
   my page content. But in the frontend is only shown the Header of the content 
   element but no map!

 * Hi [@crypton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/crypton/)
 * Unfortunately go_maps is a jQuery extension and not a part of our plugin, however
   their guide recommends adding a script that looks like this to the page:
 * `<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor
   =false"></script>`
 * You can add your API key in here to look like this:
 * `<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?key=MY_API_KEY"
   ></script>`
 * I hope this helps?
