Overviewer currently requires a free Google API key. You can obtain one
[here](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key).
On the webpage, Select the blue "Get a Key" button.
On the webpage, select the blue "Get a Key" button.
You can create a new project or use the already-made "My Project" to obtain
the API key--it doesn't matter.

Then, edit line 14 of `/opt/mscs/maps/<world>/index.html` to replace

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://maps.google.com/maps/api/js"></script>

with

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?key=MYKEY&sensor=false"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?key=MYKEY"></script>

replacing MYKEY with the key you obtained above.


You will also need to update other `index.html` source locations of
where Overviewer is installed with your API key.
Run the following command to find those sources (command courtesy of [Zeromusta](https://github.com/overviewer/Minecraft-Overviewer/issues/1308#issuecomment-271848826)):

find /usr/ -name "index.html" -print | grep overviewer_core/data/web_assets

In my case, there was 3 locations, so I updated the 14th line of each `index.html`
to include my API key as described above.

You will need to repeat these above steps everytime Overviewer is updated (or, until they
add a fix for this).

In the `mscs.defaults` file (one will be created if you haven't created one manually),
you'll find various Overviewer mapping settings which you change to your liking.
We've listed the map-related settings below:
