Something went wrong

I have an app that uses a TWebGmaps component. This works great here on the office network.


When I ran it on a client network, The map briefly shows then I get a message 

Sorry! Something went wrong.

This page didn't load Google Maps correctly. See the JavaScript console for technical details.

I also tried on my notebook tethered to my phone connected via 4G and got the same. Connecting my note book to my office wi-fi and it all works.

Can you help?

Do you use a valid Google API key connected to a Google billing account?

I haven't enabled billing. But why would it work on my network, but not elsewhere?


Coupling to a billing account has become a requirement. Please ensure first this is setup correct.


Still doesn't explain why it works on the network here. 


Confused... :-(

This is under Google control

Apologies - worked out what was the actual problem.


I had restricted the key to specific IP Addresses.

Sorry for the confusion.

But not to do with billing!!
