This guide shows how to set up your Google Cloud project before using the Google Maps Platform APIs. While you may have completed some of these steps in the Getting started with Google Maps Platform page, this topic provides additional, useful instructions for managing your projects.

Create a project

To use Google Maps Platform, you must have a project to manage services, credentials, billing, APIs, and SDKs.

Billing setup is required for each project, but you will only be charged if a project exceeds its quota of no-charge services.

To create a Cloud project with billing enabled:

Console
  1. Create a new Google Cloud project in the Cloud console:

    Create new project
  2. On the New Project page, fill in the required information:

  3. Select Create.

gcloud
gcloud projects create "PROJECT"

Enable billing

If you have a billing account when you create a Cloud project, then billing is automatically enabled on that project.

To enable billing on a Cloud project:

    --project "PROJECT" \
    "geocoding-backend.googleapis.com"
