    I was trying to add to a google location as a field group in order to add the same to a listing.

    i dont see an option to add a google map key. i already have the key, but i would like to know how to add the same in the SCF plugin.

    there is no field for that.

    To add an API key to use the Google Maps field, you need to add this code to your theme’s functions.php file:

    // Sets Goolge Maps API key.
    add_filter( 'acf/fields/google_map/api', function ( $api ) {
        $api[ 'key' ] = 'your-api-key';

        return $api;
    });

    The following services must be included in this key to work properly: Maps JavaScript API, Geocoding API.

    I’m not sure, but I’m guessing it’s not possible to do this with the interface.

    I have the same question, but I’m hosted on WordPress.com and apparently I can’t edit the functions.php file. Is there another way to register the API for Google Maps with Secure Custom Fields?

    @cjmcqueen, In the admin panel try to go into Appearance > Theme File Editor, select your theme and in the list on the right side select functions.php
