What's going wrong

Many owners find the map replaced by a generic Google Maps error box. Some see a missing key message in the console, others an invalid key or a loader that Google has deprecated, and one site works on a development server but fails once moved to production. Some owners entered a key and still got errors, and community patches were shared as workarounds. The opportunity is a diagnostic that checks keys, enabled APIs and loader versions, and tells owners exactly what to change.
