Getting a Google API Key
The Google Maps API key is not mandatory for the plugin to work. It is only necessary to enable the geocoding feature when creating markers, to get the coordinates of a place directly from the create map page. Using the API Key from Google might have associated costs, be aware of this.
You can refer to the official documentation from Google on how to get an API Key:
