Tell us what you are trying to do?
I Will show a Map with the Marker and autofocus of the Custom Field Adress.
But: Your site URL to be authorized: hidden link

Is there any documentation that you are following?
Yes, I have read all things, and that you do all make a "hidden link" and also for images ... Isn't very helpful.

Is there a similar example that we can see?
hidden link

What is the link to your site?

Hi,

Welcome to Toolset support and I'd be happy to assist.

The "RefererNotAllowedMapError" error suggests that "Application restrictions" is enabled in your Google Maps API key settings with "HTTP referrers (web sites)" option.
hidden link

Can you please make sure that your website's domain is added in there in a way that allows all sub-domains and paths?
( example: *.mdw-web.de/* )

You'll find some useful suggestions on troubleshooting "HTTP referrers" restriction in this thread too:

I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any further assistance around this.

Hi,

Thanks for writing back.

For web APIs like the one you're using, it is recommended to use "HTTP referrers (web sites)" restriction.
( since the website's visitors will be visiting from different IP Addresses )

The "IP addresses" restriction is useful for web service APIs where the request always originates from specific servers.

Ref: hidden link

Please change the restriction type and then allow it to work with the correct domain/sub-domain and then test it again.

Waqar

Hi Waqar,

thanks now it works fine. May Thanks.
But my Map still shows the Ocean. And not my Adress. How can i fix this ?
The Adress comes from an Dynamic Source Custom Field.
Regardful.
