I'm using the Toolset Maps plugin.
The googlemap autocomplete inside the custom field is not working. How can I solve it? The error message is as follows:
"You can't connect to the Google Maps autocomplete service, but you can enter the address manually."

Thank you.

Hello,

Are we talking about custom address field created with Toolset Types plugin + Maps plugin?
https://toolset.com/course-lesson/installing-toolset-maps-and-adding-address-fields/

If it is, please follow our document to setup your Google map API key:
https://toolset.com/course-lesson/creating-a-maps-api-key/
Section "Creating an API key for Google Maps"
make sure to select Maps JavaScript API, Geocoding API, and Places API.

Dear Luo Yang,

Thank you for your answer.

Yes, I am asking about custom address fields. The map is displayed normally on the preview screen. However, the autocomplete feature that will be represented in the custom field is working. I'm aware that the three api (Maps JavaScript API, Geocoding API, PlacesAPI) settings you pointed out are normal. The reason is that the map on the preview screen is displayed normally.

In addition, I will check the three api key settings again. I wondered if there was a problem other than the api key, so I asked this question.

Thank you.

In my opinion, it should be the map API key setting problem or compatibility issue, you can check the compatibility issue too, for example:
deactivate all other plugins, and switch to wordpress default theme 2021, deactivate all custom PHP/JS code snippets, and test again
