Smart client keeps saying that the API key is invalid for Google Maps, has anyone set this up successfully? The Milestone support team is not helpful and referred me here.

I am sorry if the Milestone Support Team referred you here because it is the wrong place. Setting up Smart Map is not development work using the MIP SDK.

This is a question better suited for the Milestone Support Community.

I have but the problem is the Free API key from google is very limited. i used up the free version in 2 hrs setting it up. It will cost a lot of money to use Google maps. I have contacted them and based on what we would use. The API from Google and Bing would cost our customer over $10,000 a month. We switched to static Google pictures of the areas. If you contact Google or Bing it takes both of them about 2 weeks to get back to you. Good Luck

How te API google key should would look like in Milestone config? I using key with HikCentral and it works perfect. In Milestone documantion there is no help to make this setup.
