If you choose to use Google Geocoding services, you need to obtain a license key from Google to get correct the functionality. For GpsGate Cloud accounts, having Google Maps is optional (read more about the differences here in the FAQ).

Getting Started with Google Maps in GpsGate

1. Follow these steps to get a Maps JavaScript API key.

2. Select your project name in your Google Console.
