Configure Google Maps for visual geolocation data
The MaxMind app provides a geolocate_IP action that uses Google Maps functionality to show a world map with a marker indicating the approximate location of the IP under investigation. You must provide a Google Maps API key to enable this functionality. See the Maps JavaScript API page in the Google Maps Platform documentation for more information about obtaining a Google Maps API key.
After obtaining an API key, perform the following steps:
- From the Home Menu, select Administration.
- Select Administration Settings > Google Maps.
- Enter your API key into the field.
- Click Save Changes.
With a proper API key applied, MaxMind Geolocate IP displays a map with searches.
