QGIS 2.18.12 OpenLayers 1.4.8 Adding a Google Satellite Layer gives me the error

This page can't load Google Maps correctly. grafik

Presumably there's something wrong with the Google API. Could be a pricing problem: https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/pricing/ https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/error-messages?utm_source=maps_js&utm_medium=degraded&utm_campaign=billing#api-key-and-billing-errors

Did you have solved the problem? I have the same since few days!

@arcieror It seems like you need to get your own Google API key grafik Never noticed the menu option before. I'd speculate that Google changed their billing policies to increase their income – and I wonder if the plugin used to share one common key for all users? If you want to order your own API key, have a look at https://developers.google.com/maps, but as always: have your credit card info ready ...

As @DEdeder pointed out, you need an Google Maps API key for the maps to work. It has nothing to do with the plugin itself.

I will be closing this issue, because it's not a plugin issue but a Google Maps API Key issue. For more information about how to get the API Key, visit https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key.
