    I cant get a Google maps API key. Google Maps dont accept Prepaid Mastercards and i dont have a different Creditcard. The best way is to give us a secondway on the next Editor update, to use Bing maps APIs. there are free and dont need a Creditcard just to be save, you are not a Robot.
    For me it is not Possible to get a Google API key with my Creditcard.

    I think many other have that issue to.

    I think this would be an issue you would have to contact google about, not sure but none of my credit cards are pre paid

    Are you from Germany? In Germany there are Prepaid creditcards there are Cheaper then Standart Cards. GoogleAPI write it they dont accept PrepaidMastercards if you want to validate your Creditcard at the beginning of the API creation.
    Even TML use Bingmaps API for the, The Bus Modeditor on Unreal 5.1. It would take the problems with the Creditcards, google just want the card to see if you are an Robot.

    I dont know why Google does this nonsense anyway.
    They are just annoying. And they are not much help either if something is wrong.
    Google think they are always in the right. You cant get to speak to anyone from Google, just a chatbot.
