> ℹ️ This configuration is only necessary if you use any [custom fields](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JSU/pages/12682845) from JSU.

## Insert a Google Maps API key

1. Create a valid Google Maps API. For more information see Google's [documentation](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key) for the Google Maps platform.
2. Enable GeoCoding API from APIs & Services after generating the API key. From Google Console, select **[ACTIVATE APIS AND SERVICES](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/library)**** > ****[GEOLOCATION API](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/library/geolocation.googleapis.com)**** > Activate**.
3. In the top navigation bar in Jira, select the **Administration** cog icon then select **Manage Apps**.
4. Under JSU,  select **Maps Configuration**.
5. Enter your valid Google Maps API in the dedicated field then select **Save**.
6. Configure one of JSU's [custom fields](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JSU/pages/12682845) then check that everything is working properly.

> ℹ️ As of June 22, 2016, Google Maps API no longer supports keyless access (any request that doesn't include an API key).
