Why do I see errors about ‘the Google Maps API key is not set’ or ‘Unable to Geocode’?
Date Published: June 30, 2025
Drupal Starter Kits collect a Google Maps API key on the Tour Dashboard at /admin/tour/ dashboard to keep things simple for the user. Drupal Starter Kits display Google Maps through the following features:
In a Site Studio Map component that uses the API key stored at Admin > Site Studio > Configuration > Google Maps API Key.
Displaying the Address field on a Place content type, which uses the API key stored at Admin > Configuration > System > Geocoders > Providers > Google.
If you observe one of the two errors, set the API key at Tour Dashboard and Drupal Starter Kits set the key at both places.
Note
Ensure that you resave any Place content that is created prior to the API key being set so that maps appear on Place detail pages. This is required because maps are built whenever a node is saved.
