Due to recent changes to Google's policies regarding third-party access to Google Maps, an API Key is required for using the Google base maps layer. If you're the owner of one of the Property Search Applications hosted by GEO Jobe GIS Consulting, and would like access to Google's base maps, please see the directions below to purchase an API Key. You will just need to purchase the API key for the maps, as everything else is taken care of through software built through Esri's platform. The steps to do so are outlined below:

Instructions

Info
title Concerns
Note: If you are concerned about the credit card being charged for the use of the Google base map, it will be used significantly less if it's not the default base map. Your current base map is set to a custom one, but if you change it to the Google base map in the future, you should be aware the usage on your account will go up . Google maps does give $200 free credit each month towards usage, and only bills if the usage exceeds that amount.
