I’m still learning Bubble and am on the free plan. I’ve entered all the set up stuff on Google and added a billing account as per the instructions and then added a map option on a pop up which is supposed to show a selected contact’s location but I just see this when it loads…

Before I spend much more time looking into this, is it because I need to upgrade to a paid plan in Bubble? I will eventually but I’m not ready for that yet. If so, I’ll leave the mapping until I do.

As ever, I really appreciate wisdom on this.  
Kind regards  
Joe

Many thanks. This prompted to find my error. What had happened was that I had created the billing account with Google but it wasn’t associated with this app. That was a step I wasn’t aware I had to make. Now things are heading in the right direction. Thank you.
