Remarks

Google license

To use Google's geocoding services, the application must provide a valid Google license key. This key can be provided using MapLicenseGgl. It must have been called before geoGetArea.

In Android, if the application has a Map control and the license key has been specified in the generation wizard, it is not necessary to call MapLicenseGgl.

For more information on the license key, see https://developers.google.com/maps/gmp-get-started.
