Freezes when trying to enter address

[micheleacox]

When I try to enter an address in the address bar, the bar turns gray after entering one key stroke. See screen shot:

I've tested my Google API key using test links given by Google (see below), and as far as I can tell the API key is working.

The links between my-reps pages are also working, i.e. I can click "more about this project" and get a new page.

This is my first time using Jekyll, and I am having to run it asbundle exec jekyll server -w, so perhaps there is an issue with my install.

hi @micheleacox - looks like it is an issue with the API key. When you set up your Google API key, you'll need to make sure its either unrestricted or that you've added your website to the list of allowed referrers: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key#restrict_key

I'm having the same issue. Have added the API in the script code. Verified the domain, setup billing, and added credentials in google api console. Still cant do address lookup. any suggestions?
