TMS FMX WebGMaps
TTMSFMXWebGMaps authentication

It is recommended to use an API Key to authenticate your application with the Google Maps JavaScript API service. Retrieving an API Key is free and can be obtained at the Google Developers Console. Instructions can be found on this page: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key

Make sure to enable the following APIs in Google’s Console:
- Google Maps JavaScript API
- Google Maps Directions API
- Google Maps Geocoding API
- Google Maps Geolocation API
- Google Maps Elevation API

The API Key should be assigned to the APIKey property, one time before the map is loaded, in the Form’s OnCreate event of an application.

Example:
procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  TMSFMXWebGMaps1.APIKey := ''myAPIKey''; 
end;

When using the TTMSFMXWebGMapsGeocoding and/or TTMSFMXWebGMapsReverseGeocoding controls the API Key should be assigned the respective APIKey properties as well.

Example:
procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  TMSFMXWebGMapsGeocoding1.APIKey := ''myAPIKey'';
  TMSFMXWebGMapsReverseGeocoding1.APIKey := ''myAPIKey'';
end;
