But I have a screen that takes the devices location and creates a map as part of a form that gets submitted. I don't need a key for that. And, I have a website where I show field locations for softball...one location per page...and I don't need a key there either. Mark Comments You would need a key to show the usage map.

No. For a MapView? Yes. For the new Google Map API for iOS? Again, Yes. Cheers! -- Smug Comments For HTML? No. It's like typing it into your web browser. For a WebView? No. For a MapView? Yes.
