Troubleshooting

If after setting the Server key you get a gray map on the front-end or a gray input field for the start location on the settings page, then there is a problem with the used API key. The only way to find out the exact problem is by checking the console output in your browser.

You can access the console in Firefox with ctrl+shift+k, or ctrl+shift+j in Chrome.

When you have opened the console, reload the page and check for any errors that are identified with Google Maps. The error itself, for the most part, incorporates a connection clarifying the explanation behind the error and how to settle it.
