# Using Google Map

Rhye includes an Elementor widget based on Google Map with numerous customization options. Before using it, you need to obtain a valid API key from Google Cloud (opens new window). Google now requires a credit card to use their map API, even if you don’t have many visitors.

# ▶️ Step 1.

From the admin panel, go to Settings → Google Maps.

# ▶️ Step 2.

Paste the API key you obtained from Google Cloud (opens new window) and click the Save Changes button.

WARNING

The API key used in the live demo will NOT work on your website! You need to get your own API key to use Google Maps on your website.

# ▶️ Step 3.

If everything is set up correctly, the Google Map Elementor widget will display a working map. Here, you can add markers, change the map style, and make other adjustments.

Still having issues?

If you’ve set up a correct API key but are still experiencing issues with Google Map, check your browser console for errors produced by Google Map. For available solutions, please check the error messages knowledgebase (opens new window).
