It seems to me that when it displays the  For development purposes only   one cannot see the map configurations as well while developing or rather playing around with the configurations   In my case I have not enabled billing to be associated with the API I am using and I am thinking that s the reason why its behaving this way

If your mapTypeId is SATELLITE or HYBRID  well  it is just a watermark  you can hide it if you change the  lt div gt  that has z-index 100 I use  setInterval function               each function             if    this  css  zIndex      100                  this  css  zIndex    -100                        10     or you can use  map addListener  idle   function e          same function     but it is not as responsive as setInterval

Google Maps is no longer free  You have to associate a credit card so that you can get billed if your site has requests that exceed the  200 credit they give you monthly for free  That is why you get the watermarked maps   For more information  see  https   cloud google com maps-platform pricing   Update   A common problem with the new billing system is that you now have to activate each API separately  They all have different pricing  some are even free   so Google makes a point of having you enable them individually for your domain   I was never a heavy user of Google Maps  but I get the feeling that there are many more APIs now than there used to be    So if you re still getting a restricted usage message after you ve enabled billing  find out what API you need exactly for the features you want to offer  and check if it s enabled   The API settings are annoyingly hard to find    Go to this link  https   console developers google com apis dashboard  Then you select your project in the dropdown   Go to library on the left pane   Browse the available APIs and enable the one you need

As recommended in a comment  I used the  Google Maps Platform API Checker  Chrome add-in to identify and resolve the issue   Essentially  this add-in directed me to here where I was able to sign in to Google and create a free API key   Afterwards  I updated my JavaScript and it immediately resolved this issue   Old JavaScript     script src  https   maps googleapis com maps api js v 3       Updated Javascript    script src  https   maps googleapis com maps api js key      GOOGLE API KEY       amp v 3       The add-in then validated the JS API call  Hope this helps someone resolve the issue quickly

As Victoria wrote  Google Maps is no longer free  but you can switch your map provider  You may be interested in OpenStreetMap  there is an easy way to use it on your site described here  https   handyman dulare com switching-from-google-maps-to-openstreetmap   Unfortunately  on the OpenStreetMap  there is no easy way to provide directions from one point to another  there is also no street view

You can t use iframe tag in HTML  here s what you can do    just go into google maps point out your location   click on  Share    go to  Embed a map    copy the HTML code   paste it in your HTML page   adjust height and width according to your requirement   run it  This might work
