Authentication: API Key Category: Location & Maps Availability: All workspace plans

Prerequisites

• A Google Cloud project with billing enabled
• The following APIs enabled in your project:
  • Places API
  • Geocoding API
  • Directions API
  • Distance Matrix API

Setup

Follow [Google's guide to getting an API key](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key) to enable the required APIs (Places, Geocoding, Directions, Distance Matrix) and create a key in Google Cloud Console.



In the API key settings, restrict it to the four APIs listed above to limit its scope.



Go to [Integrations](https://app.odeus.ai/integrations) and find **Google Maps** in the list.



Paste the API key and save.



Tag the integration with `@` in any agent to search places, geocode addresses, or get directions.

Common Use Cases

• Place Search — Find businesses, restaurants, or points of interest near a location using natural language

• Geocoding — Convert street addresses to coordinates or coordinates back to readable addresses

• Directions — Get routes between locations with support for driving, walking, cycling, and transit

• Distance Matrix — Calculate travel time and distance between multiple origins and destinations

Troubleshooting

Issue	Solution
API key invalid	Verify the key is correct and the required APIs are enabled in Google Cloud Console
Request denied	Check that billing is enabled on your Google Cloud project
API not enabled	Go to Google Cloud Console → APIs & Services → Library and enable the missing API
Quota exceeded	Review your usage limits in Google Cloud Console and increase if needed
