Expired Google Maps API key on the visualizer

[gcamp]

The visualizer is not working anymore because the API_KEY for Google Maps is expired.

Error is

[Error] Google Maps JavaScript API error: ExpiredKeyMapError
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/error-messages#expired-key-map-error
	Lc (js:51:134)

@RachM maybe something you can look at?

I'm experiencing the exact same error

Hi I'd started seeing the problem from a couple days ago. Found out that passing in our own key in command line doesn't actually work : It was still using a key hard-coded in (And we were all using somebody else's key this entire time!!).

So if you have your own google maps API key (I'm not sure about usage limits and all but mine works for now), here's what to do:

• Open gtfsscheduleviewer/files/index.html code
• Find the <script.. tag for google maps api.
• Change the ending part of src after ?key= : put in your API key. And you can erase out the sensor=true part too at the end of that string.

@answerquest Worked like a charm. Much appreciated!

The sample commands given at the wiki are misleading : https://github.com/google/transitfeed/wiki/ScheduleViewer#running-from-source

It might help look into that or to try and make the --key functionality work.
