  1. Go to the Google API Console. There have all of the credentials that you’ve created.

I recommend you should set up the key restriction to avoid be abused.

ex:

*/your-production-domain/* => This will need a wildcard. If you don’t have a wildcard for your domain, you should use your-production-domain/* instead.

*.stage/your-staging-domain/*

Awesome, you’ve done a great job, you’ll see the beautiful map.
