cfmap and Google api key

Google is no longer providing api keys.  Does the cfmap tag still require one?  If so, what is the workaround?

Thank you.

    Is that CF9? I'm on CF10 and it doesn't seem to be mandatory.

    I'm on CF9, but I'm not sure now if I've got all the latest hotfixes installed.

    You still have to specify one, it doesn't seem CFMap has any way to work around the fact that it's now not required for using the v3 API.  Probably not helped by the way they rushed out a hotfix in May just before API v2 was going to stop working (now extended until November 2013).

    The workaround - don't use the cfmap tag.  It's simple enough to write the JS yourself.

    Thank you.  That's what I'm working on now. 

    I've been loyal to CF for 13 years now, but Adobe is making it harder-and-harder for me to stay committed.

    Are you sure they're not issuing API keys?  See the instructions here: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/tutorial#api_key

    Also make sure you select for API v3 and not v2, but otherwise I think that should work?
