Hello and thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

I visited the map page and there is a Google Maps JavaScript API error: RefererNotAllowedMapError. Check this screenshot hidden link
It is documented here hidden link

It seems that your current domain is not allowed on the Google console settings. You will need to add it there.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.

Hello Jamal, I have contacted Google support. I have removed any restrictions on the API key, but isn't that bad to do that? And the map is showing the Gulf of Guinea in Spanish? I am in the United States.

Update Jamal,

I have created a new post , as you will see the map is not showing correctly: hidden link

But the map displays correctly here (see screen shot)

From Google support....

Looking at the HTML source, it looks like your map is being created using the Toolset plugin. I checked the Toolset support page:
https://toolset.com/forums/forum/professional-support/
but I was not able to find any information on getting the Toolset plugin to update the map location correctly.

If you are a Toolset customer, I recommend that you create a question on the Professional Support board at the above link.

Please let me know if Toolset support has any suggestions about changing the configuration of your Google API project to work with the Toolset plugin.

Best Regards,

I can agree that it is good to have restrictions. I would suggest to have restrictions only to your websites, by adding them to the allowed referrers.

And the map is showing the Gulf of Guinea in Spanish?
By default, if the map has no markers, it will display the coordinates 0/0 which are on the ocean in front of central Africa. You can configure a default center if no markers are linked to the map. So, I guess that no markers is added to the map here hidden link
