Take a deep breath! Even though Google now requires that web site owners get an API code for some uses of Google Maps on Joomla websites, and to get an API code one has to set up payment info on your Google Account, it's not the big deal that so many people are making of it. In this video we'll look at how Google Maps are still free to use without an API in many cases. We'll also see that for other cases Google gives users $200 per month worth of free API usage. And then we'll also see how you can set a budget to prevent having to pay anything if you somehow go over the extremely high volume it takes to burn through the free amount in a single month.
