Like @tole011 mentioned in this post, we are not able to add a location, even when adding lat and long (what worked in Bricks 1.3.1 i believe).
After saving and reloading the canvas, the fields are getting overriden by the default values and the console spits reference errors. Please see the video.
Edit: double checked it in Bricks 1.3.1: it works fine.
This is unrelated to the issue, but I will take advantage since the topic of discussion is the map to ask you the following:
I know that API key is required to add Google map in Bricks and I understand that it is not free Google side, you also need to create a project in Google Cloud Platform.
What do you do when a project has these requirements, do you create a project in Google with a customer Gmail email and he will be responsible for paying for the usage?
Thank you for your suggestion.
none of the websites I have ever built have reached the free limit of up to 100,000 loads per month ($ 200).
However, if you have a very busy website or a lot of map integrations, it definitely makes sense to direct the billing to the customer (by assigning his credit card data to the billing profile).
If he refuses, you can simply set a budget (e.g. 1 euro - doesn’t hurt ;-)) .
Before and when this limit is reached you will receive notifications and can intervene accordingly.
In case of doubt, there is still the Embed Api, which is permanently free, but also has one or the other disadvantage.

Ps: I always set up the projects via my google account, so I have full control. If the customer does not want to give out his credit card details, there is of course still the option of creating his own account and adding you as an admin.
I can confirm that the sites I’m building will not generate enough traffic to reach that limit, as of now my client base consists of only small businesses.
In that case I will also follow your process by managing the project in Google with my gmail account.
Don’t forget to set the budget in every project, even when you know that it will not reach the limit under normal conditions. If the site get’s attacked or something strange happens, you’re “kind of” safe.
