As of June 2018 Google Maps requires that you use an API key. For me this means I had to embed it in my LocalSettings.php file so that Wiki Maps would work.

You don't have to pay anything or put a credit card on file, but when you hit your limit ($200 / month) then they stop delivering maps. This is fine with everything I need right now.

What you need to do

  1. Get an account. Now you are a developer, whoo whoo.
  2. Get an API key.
  3. Use the key.
