# Google Maps

Google Map is a well-known map service with a lot of functionalities and API data. For getting an API key and enable them in your site, your site should be live in the server not in your local server. Because you will register to Google Cloud Platform with your live site address. 

{% hint style="info" %}
To get a Google API key, *billing info is required*. Google Map provides you free 28,000 map loads and searches per month. If you want to use more, you should choose some pricing plan.
{% endhint %}

Go to the **Google Maps API Key Setup** [**Link**](https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/), click the button **Get Started,** and choose the Map option over there:
