1. I cannot get the Map to work. I acquired an API key off google but it keeps asking for billing to be activated. I don't want a template I have to pay google for an API key. That is strange. Is there something I am missing here? I entered my API key and it is asking for n=billing activation. Weird?
2. Also the Envato Marked Plugin will not install. I noticed this is required. I Keep getting a lost connection error when trying to install that plugin.
Unfortunately, Google Maps is no longer free. You have to associate a credit card so that you can get billed if your site has requests that exceed the $200 credit they give you monthly for free. That is why you get the watermarked maps. For more information, see: https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/pricing/ As alternative, we offer our customers the following solution:
2. Create your first map, and select in the following options in WP Dashboard => Maps => General Map Settings: Disable Mouse Wheel Zoom and Maps Engine: OpenLayers. Save these changes.
3. Go to your map => General Settings. Choose zoom, height level, switch map alignment to center. Also do not forget to add a marker in necessary place by right-mouse click on map. Save MAp Marker and Map changes.
4. Copy your map's shortcode, for example [wpgmza id="1"] and open in Unyson Page Builder page with affected map area. Hide here default Map element, then add Text Block element and switch it in text mode. Place here between div tags your map's shortcode and save changes. Update page and check result at front-end. These steps will fix your issue.
Concerning your second issues - just provide us with the link/login/password for your WP Dashboard and we will assist you.
