Google Maps is really expensive and just blows through the roof with each API request. Is there a free alternative? or am I misconfiguring the map API wrong?
You may consider using Google Maps Embed API -Basic which is free of charge. Here is a sample of a basic map with a marker location:
<iframe

I just copy and paste the above code
I'm taking the code from Google Maps, -> Share -> Embed a Map
I'm not using the API
do you know why?
You are getting the mentioned console error because you must embed the iframe with a [Google Maps Platform API key].
Example:
<script async defer src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY&callback=initMap" type="text/javascript"></script>
Instead of:
<iframe src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d2795.5423816131142!2d11.312607315808078!3d45.519289937786425!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x477f48c46ad35441%3A0x9a16514436b0fe8e!2sMarmi%20Zem%20di%20Ziche%20Enrico!5e0!3m2!1sit!2sit!4v1676708610573!5m2!1sit!2sit" width="600" height="450" style="border:0;" allowfullscreen="" loading="lazy" referrerpolicy="no-referrer-when-downgrade"></iframe>
The Google Maps Platform documentation is quite straightforward when it comes to the instructions to deploy this iframe. These are the two links you will need:
How to embed a map: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/embed/embedding-map?hl=es-419
API usage: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/embed/get-api-key
Sidenote: Be wary that it is mandatory to provide a billing method when creating your key, so that Google can charge for the usage of the embeded map if it exceeds a given number of requests to their API.
I am new in django and I am trying to create a web app for bycicle roads in a specific city.Till now I have managed to add a Map of the city in my project.Bellow a piece of the HTML:
'''
<iframe
width="100%"
height="100%"
frameborder="0" style="border:0"
referrerpolicy="no-referrer-when-downgrade"
src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed/v1/place?key=AIzaSyB50AmUn73pxdoVuVhRAkjAjnhGjLp7ymM&q=streets+in+Sofia"
allowfullscreen>
</iframe>
'''
The question is following:
I have the Directions button on the map but it redirects to google.maps. I want to make the directions(Start and Endpoint) to appear right over the map(on the same page). Is this possible and how can I do this ?
Thank you!
Trying to change the zoom level of the map returned below. I am using it as a link in excel. Have looked around and thought this should work as I change the z=1 to z=2, etc.
http://maps.google.com/maps?z=1&t=h&q=2517 MCDEARMON ST,SACHSE,TX,75408
That is with the "old" google maps, it was never documented and no longer works. If you want a URL for an embedded google map, use the Embed API, it has a documented zoom parameter.
example 2 embedded maps, just changing the zoom parameter in the URL
<iframe width="600" height="450" frameborder="0" style="border:0"

I am manually using Google Maps to create a Map, via an address, to get the embedded code to place on my Website. Is there a mechanism to bulk load addresses and get the embedded code out? I have thousands of addresses to convert to maps.
An example Address is:
428 E 4th St Charlotte, NC 28202
The embedded code from Google Maps (Enter address an using left tool menu, select share or embed map) looks like this:
<iframe src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d3259.3378065507304!2d-80.84061599999997!3d35.22296!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x8856a02661c6b995%3A0xe460e1d558cda162!2s428+E+4th+St%2C+Charlotte%2C+NC+28202!5e0!3m2!1sen!2sus!4v1440885560942" width="600" height="450" frameborder="0" style="border:0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Use the Embed API
You can pass in your address as one of the parameters of the URL.
Example (address is URL encoded):
<iframe width="100%" height="450" frameborder="0" style="border:0" src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed/v1/place?q=428%20E%204th%20St%20Charlotte%2C%20NC%2028202&key=<your KEY>" allowfullscreen></iframe>
working example
This is what google maps suggests me to use for embedding the map to my site:
<iframe src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m14!1m8!1m3!1d2964.797839390929!2d21.414694!3d42.004614!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x1354145ab3a48fd5%3A0x9f3ee09c5eb92ad9!2sRestaurant+Jana!5e0!3m2!1sen!2s!4v1409184591679" width="600" height="450" frameborder="0" style="border:0"></iframe>
This is the point it should display: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Restaurant+Jana/#42.004614,21.414694,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x9f3ee09c5eb92ad9?hl=en-US
But this is how it looks:
0 zoom and map is not fully loaded. What am i doing wrong here?
