How to create a new project in Google Developers Console

Your website is a 'project' so you need to create a project first in order to assign an API key to it. To do so visit this page where you will need a Google email account to proceed.

Click the GET A KEY button which will prompt you to create a new Project name. You can name this anything you like.

How to get a new API key

After you click on CREATE AND ENABLE API, you are all done! Your new API key will be enabled and ready to go.

Now just copy and paste this API key into Elvanto Settings, specifically under the API Keys tab. Click Save and your maps are ready to go.
