By default, all Ascendix Search users use OpenStreetMap to geocode their data. It is a free open-source service that doesn't require additional setup.

If you wish to use Google Maps as a map provider, you must have a Google API key. 

Step 1. Open the Ascendix Search Setup

Step 2. Navigate to Mapping and Select Google Maps as a map provider

Step 3. Provide a Google Maps Key

If you do not already have a key, click the Get a Key button to obtain one and then enter the value in the text box below. If you have a key but would like to check if it is still valid, follow this guide.
