google maps API2 or API3

hi,

before: i hope, my english is good enought, to tell you my problem:

some days ago, i bought ProMaps for Google.
before i used a own javascript to show multiple markers on a google map and i hoped, that ProMaps will help me to add new features without more expenditure of time.
but the first step by adding a map is the question about a API-key. this key was only necessary, if i worked with the old google maps api V2. with the new V3 api, i dont need any key.
in this case, i work on a website who has a .de and a .com domain. a call to the .de version or to the .com version links to the same contend. this does not work, if a have to use a API-key, because this key is individual for the .com and for the .de-domain. so the new V3 API was a great solution.
by using PorMaps i must fall back to the API-key procedure and can use a google map only for one of the domains.
is there a workaround or a plan to use ProMaps without the API.key, like the new V3-API of google maps?

regards
bernd

At this time, we do not have any plans to update pro Maps for Google map API 3, but that will likely change at some point, I just cant say when.

Does this means that a new API will be available soon?

No, that announcement means that if you have a high traffic site where the map is loaded more than 25,000 times in a day, Google is going to start changing for excessive map loads.

Jason -- I made the changes from this post. Added the php code and replaced the original jscript line with the new one. Maps runs without asking for an API key, but the displayed map doesn't reflect the default address. The original API2 scripting worked fine on localhost.

I also noticed that in the new js declaration /*wagmp*/ is grayed out -- it displays normally in the original.

Thanks,

can you send a copy of your page so i can see the code and a link where i can the problem in the browser.


your description sounds like a syntax error, but there's no way i can tell you what the error is or how to correct it without seeing the code.

your code looks correct except for 2 things:

1) you haven't added valid domains and keys to the switch statement

2) The original script line with the localhost api key is still in place, that will need to be removed.

if you still having a problem i need to see the page in the browser to troubleshoot.
