This guide shows how to set up your Google Cloud project before usingthe Google Maps Platform APIs. While you may have completed some of thesesteps in theGetting started with Google Maps Platform page,this topic provides additional, useful instructions for managing your projects.
Create a project
To use Google Maps Platform, you must have a project to manage services,credentials, billing, APIs, and SDKs.
Billing setup is required for each project, but you will only be charged if aproject exceeds its quota of no-charge services.
To create a Cloud project with billing enabled:
Console
-
Create a new Google Cloud project in the Cloud Console:
Create new project -
On the New Project page, fill in the required information:
-
Project name: Accept the default or enter a customized name.
You can change the project name at any time. For more information, see Identifying projects.
-
Project ID: Accept the default or click EDIT to enter a customized ID that Google APIs use as a unique identifier for your project.
After you create the project, you cannot change the project ID, so choose an ID that you'll be comfortable using for the lifetime of the project. Don't include any sensitive information in your project ID.
-
Billing account: Select a billing account for the project. If you haven't set up a billing account or only have one billing account, you won't see this option.
You must be a Billing Account Administrator or Project Billing Manager to associate a project with a billing account. For more information, see the billing access control documentation.
-
Location: If you have an organization you want to link your project to, click Browse and select it; otherwise, choose "No organization".
For more information, see Creating and Managing Folders and Relationships between organizations, projects, and billing accounts.
-
Select Create.

Enable billing
To deploy your apps, you must enable billing. Your account will not be chargedif you stay within your monthly quota.If your application needs resources that exceed the monthly quota, you will becharged for the additional usage.
If you have a billing account when you create a Cloudproject, then billing is automatically enabled on that project.
To enable billing on a Cloud project:
- In the Cloud Console, go to the Billing page:
Go to the Billing page - Select or create a Cloud project.
- Depending on if a billing account exists or if the selected Cloud project is associated with an account, the Billing page displays one of the following:
- If billing is already enabled for the selected Cloud project, then the details about the billing account are listed.
- If no billing account exists, you are prompted to create a billing account and associate it with the selected Cloud project.
- If a billing account exists, you are prompted to enable billing if the selected Cloud project is not already associated with a billing account. You can also select Cancel and then select Create account to create and associate a new billing account.
After you enable billing, there is no limit to the amount that you mightbe charged. To gain more control over your costs, you cancreatea budget and set alerts. For more information, see Billing.
