To enable Maps Integration in the system, an account will need to be created with the Google Maps Platform.
Start by going to the Google Maps Platform website:
Then:
- Select the Sign in button on the top right corner of the page.
- Once you're signed in, select the Get Started button on the top right corner of the page.
- The "Discover" page shown can be used to read more about the google services offered . We will be using "Calculate distance" and "Convert an address to coordinates" services. Reading of these is optional and "Finish account setup" needs to be selected to continue the process. When using the costs and restrictions area these APIs come under the "Distance Matrix API"
- Follow the account verification steps requested
- When asked "Take 30 seconds to get the most relevant solutions, guides and documentation. You can change your answers later." this can be skipped
- You will now be given an API Key which can be used in the corresponding System Setting in Care Cloud (Maps.Google.APIKey). The set up for Care Cloud is described more below - but there are some extra steps you should consider first for this google set up:
- The next screen will give the options to Protect your API key - we strongly recommend this. Using the "Websites" option, your Care Cloud URL can be entered as a restriction. More restrictions can be added as you wish and instructed on screen.
- All Google Maps APIs are enabled but you could choose to restrict it to just the ones used by Care Cloud. To do this fo to the "Credentials" tab and then under API Restrictions choose "Restrict Key and then select "Distance Matrix API"
- Pricing information can be found here https://mapsplatform.google.com/pricing/ and has information about the change to google pricing coming in March 2025. To set a budget go to My Billing Account and then "Budgets and alerts" - select the account and then update the "Target Amount".
Here are some additional tips for setting up a Google Maps API account:
- Monitor your usage. Google Maps Platform provides a variety of tools to help you monitor your usage and costs.
- Get support. If you need help setting up or using Google Maps Platform, you can contact Google support

- Navigate to Settings > Configuration > System Management.
