Hi there, @Chris_Hustad 👋

I’ve checked your website and see the erro rreporting that Billing was not enabled while setting up the API key. This is the reason why your Map is not loading correctly:

Please follow this link from your console and enable Billing there - [https://console.cloud.google.com/project/\_/billing/enable](https://console.cloud.google.com/project/_/billing/enable), it should help to fix this issue.

You can also find the details about enabling the billing in this article - [How to get Google API Key for Google Maps widget](https://help.elfsight.com/article/874-how-to-get-google-api-key-for-google-maps-widget#Enabling_Billing).

Wrong website, actually.
