Using google's 'Places (New)' Api

[sunnylawn]

Using Simple Map + Craft 5, we were unable to get the search field working. We were getting 'This API project is not authorized to use this API. Places API error: ApiNotActivatedMapError'. The API key was enabled for all the right services and domains etc. When we switched this to Key an older project key everything worked, the issue seems to be the way that google's new 'Places API (new)' is working compared to the older legacy version (which is no longer able to be enabled on new projects.

Using the new version results in maps working, but the search function essentially being dead, erroring in the JS console.

Not sure if this is something that needs changing on the simplemaps end?

Side note: can we have a Craft 5 issue template?

+1 for this issue, we encounter the same problem with the new Places API from Google Maps.

+1 for this. Apparently related to this : https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/web-service/place-id?utm_source=devtools&utm_campaign=stable&hl=fr#places-api-legacy

I changed for Mapbox for now...
