Creating Google MAps Api Key

We have used google maps api for displaying maps, calculating distance, markers ..etc. so we need to create google maps api key & update required files before starting remaining setup.

Create new project

• Login to https://console.developers.google.com/projectcreate with your google account
• create new project

Create API key

• Navigate to your currect project & goto to API settings https://console.developers.google.com/apis/dashboard
• Goto Credenitals & Create New API Key

Once you created API key, you need to update with following files

• Driver/src/index.html
• Rider/src/index.html

Enabling required services

• Navigate to library & choose google maps (view all)
• enable all Required API's
  • Direction
  • Distance Matrix
  • Geocoding
  • Geolocation
  • Maps Embed
  • Maps JavaScript
  • Maps Places (aka Places API)

Important Update: Google Maps free API allows only one request / min. So must verfiy your credit card with Google Billing (https://console.developers.google.com/billing/) to avoid these errors.
