Use your own Google Maps key

Switch the Talent Map from the platform's key to your organisation's own Google Maps key, and fix key errors.

By default the Talent Map uses Workforce Ignite's own map key. Some organisations prefer to use their own Google account.

1. Click Settings and find Maps integration (Talent Map).
2. Choose Use our own API key.
3. Paste your key into the box and click anywhere outside it to save.
4. Open Talent Map to check it loads.

Getting the key right

In Google Cloud Console, make sure that:

• the Maps JavaScript API is enabled for the key's project,
• a billing account is linked to that project, and
• if you've restricted the key to websites, your organisation's address (for example https://yourorganisation.workforceignite.com/*) is on the allowed list.

To go back to the platform key, choose Use platform default key.

Note: A map key is always visible to anyone using the page — that's how Google Maps works. Restricting it to your website stops others using your quota.
