Using Google Maps website to create a keyless Embedded map

956 views Asked by At

I notice that, if I follow the instructions on this google maps answer, there is no information about the requirement for an API key when embedding a Google Map iframe into the HTML of my website or blog.

What will be the requirements for this sort of use regarding keyless embedded maps access following June 11?

None I suppose,

I'm using ruby explaining the code below

<iframe ... src="https://maps.google.com/maps?q=#{question}&z=15&ie=UTF8&iwloc=&output=embed" ... ></iframe>

So far this is working (Aug 30) and should be working for a while since it's the Maps way to share addresses. This embed forces a couple logos related to Google like, Maps Embed API (free but not keyless)

If you plan to use Maps as a developer with other options please consider registering an API in Google cloud. Meanwhile, you could use it like you are using it.
