# Google Maps API Key
|
||||
|
||||
As of June 22nd, 2016 the Google Maps API requires an API key.
|
||||
This page has moved to [API Keys](/hosting/apikeys).
|
||||
|
||||
This means that if you are hosting farmOS yourself, you need to create an API
|
||||
key in order to use the Google Maps base layers in farmOS maps. If an API key
|
||||
is not provided during installation, [OpenStreetMap] will be used as the
|
||||
default base layer instead.
|
||||
|
||||
Anyone who had a farmOS site installed before June 22nd, 2016, and was actively
|
||||
using it, was automatically grandfathered in and does not need an API key:
|
||||
|
||||
> Existing applications have been grandfathered based on their current usage to
|
||||
> ensure that they continue to function both now and in the future. We will
|
||||
> also be proactively contacting all existing API key users who, based on usage
|
||||
> growth patterns, may be impacted in the future. If you’re an existing user,
|
||||
> please take the time to read our Policy Update for Standard Plan summary for
|
||||
> details on how each of these changes might affect your implementation.

|
||||
|
||||
To create an API key and add it to your farmOS, do the following:
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Generate a Browser Key
|
||||
|
||||
[https://console.developers.google.com/apis/credentials](https://console.developers.google.com/apis/credentials)
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. Enable Google Maps Javascript API
|
||||
|
||||
[https://console.developers.google.com/apis/library/maps-backend.googleapis.com](https://console.developers.google.com/apis/library/maps-backend.googleapis.com)
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. Create Billing Account
|
||||
|
||||
The Google Maps JavaScript API is [effectively free for personal use](https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/pricing/sheet/) (up to tens of thousands of page views per month) but as of July 2018 it does require that you attach a credit card.
|
||||
|
||||
Go to [https://console.cloud.google.com/billing/](https://console.cloud.google.com/billing/) and follow the instructions to create a new billing account (or link an existing one)
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Enter the key into the farmOS Map configuration
|
||||
|
||||
**a) If you are installing farmOS for the first time**, there is a field for entering
|
||||
the Google Maps API key during the "Configure farmOS" step.
|
||||
|
||||
**b) If you have already installed farmOS**, you can enter the API key in the map
|
||||
configuration form at `/admin/config/farm/map`.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note that according to Google it may take a couple of minutes before a new
|
||||
API key becomes active.**
