Replace YOUR_API_Key with your own key in index.html, and delete the script reference tag in the following:

  <script src="./G_APIKEY.js"></script><!--Delete this reference-->
  <script>
    (g=>{var h,a,k,p="The Google Maps JavaScript API",c="google",l="importLibrary",q="__ib__",m=document,b=window;b=b[c]||(b[c]={});var d=b.maps||(b.maps={}),r=new Set,e=new URLSearchParams,u=()=>h||(h=new Promise(async(f,n)=>{await (a=m.createElement("script"));e.set("libraries",[...r]+"");for(k in g)e.set(k.replace(/[A-Z]/g,t=>"_"+t[0].toLowerCase()),g[k]);e.set("callback",c+".maps."+q);a.src=`https://maps.${c}apis.com/maps/api/js?`+e;d[q]=f;a.onerror=()=>h=n(Error(p+" could not load."));a.nonce=m.querySelector("script[nonce]")?.nonce||"";m.head.append(a)}));d[l]?console.warn(p+" only loads once. Ignoring:",g):d[l]=(f,...n)=>r.add(f)&&u().then(()=>d[l](f,...n))})({
      key: YOUR_API_KEY, // <=======  YOUR KEY HERE =============>
      v: "weekly",
      // Use the 'v' parameter to indicate the version to use (weekly, beta, alpha, etc.).
      // Add other bootstrap parameters as needed, using camel case.
    });
  </script>
