<p>To obtain an API key follow these steps:<br />
1. Create a new project in the Google Developer’s console by clicking <a href="https://console.developers.google.com/flows/enableapi?apiid=maps_backend,static_maps_backend,maps_embed_backend&keyType=CLIENT_SIDE&reusekey=true" rel="nofollow ugc">here</a> and selecting <em>Create new project</em><br />
1. Name your project<br />
1. Select <em>HTTP referrers (web sites)</em>  for the <em>Key restriction</em> type<br />
1. Enter the domains where your API key will be used<br />
    – Example: <code>*.mysite.com</code><br />
1. Click the <em>Create</em> button<br />
1. Write your API key down in a safe place<br />
1. Enter the API key into the plugin settings<br />

<p>Note: The API key will be exposed publicly to generate the map. It is important to <a href="https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/embed/get-api-key#key-restrictions" rel="nofollow ugc">restrict your API key</a> so others do not abuse it. The API key will be used, and displayed, in both the WordPress editor and the front end of the site.</p>
<h3>Use</h3>
<p>Once you have saved an API key into the plugin settings simply enter a location, such as New York, NY, or a full address. You may also choose the map width, height, zoom level and toggle between an interactive map or a static image in the block settings, which are visible in the right-hand sidebar when the block is selected.</p>

<h3>OUR USERS LOVE IT!</h3>
<p>We are proud to have near perfect 5/5 score on Trustpilot:</p>
<p><em>“I think it’s a great app for keeping track of your sail trips, both past, current and future. Unlike most (or rather all) apps, the map can be embedded on other websites. Also love the track details,”</em> – L.Delboca</p>
<p><em>“We are very happy with our new website and Alain has been a real star helping us build it and making modifications to suit our needs. For us, one of the main attractions is that we can send photos to the website using email – even from our very slow IridiumGo. Alain has always been very quick with responses to our requests and has given very good explanations and guidance.”</em> – Andrez Short S/V Kelper</p>
