Google recently started requiring API keys for displaying the maps on your website. To create the API keys, go to the https://console.developers.google.com.

When you open the Google API Console for the first time, google will ask you to create a new project. If you plan to have multiple websites, it is recommended to create separate projects for them, so that each website has its own API keys:

Once you create the first project and select it, click on the Credentials link in the sidebar, then click the Create Credentials button and in the dropdown choose API Key:

In the new popup choose the Server Key:

Next enter the name of the key and optionally the IP address of your server, then click the Create button:
