Google Maps API

Written by ksmithaiea on

Hi,

I am developing a site which will require a single google maps display. Until the site is ready to launch, it won't be at its domain name address but under a development IP address at my hosting company. The code for the map is:

Code:

Despite hours of effort, I cannot get past the following error message: The Google Maps API server rejected your request. This could be because the API key used on this site was registered for a different website.

The only two reasons I can think off for this are either that the development IP address is an issue as it is not a domain name or that I have already used my google account login for a different site but have tried setting up a different account with an alternative email address. That, or I am missing something very simple!

Any ideas would be most most welcome because I am pulling out what little of my hair that is left.

Many thanks in advance
