[Google Maps API v2] Dummies guide to adding a map.

Hi.

I've followed this guide :-

http://stiern.com/tutorials/adding-custom-google-maps-to-your-website/#google_api


Basically, ive got a map going - & when I click on it, it SHOULD
display a poop-up with the location details.

However - i need a API Key. (ot produces an error when i click it -
No valid API key

GOAL: (see below)..

I've been to the APIS console, & got my JSON file, & my "key" -
However nothing works.
it assumes the person that us doing the HTML - knows what they're up to..

Is there a dummies guide - Step by Step, to tell me what i need to get
& WHERE/HOW to put the thing once i've got it :)

I think I've got the 'key' in the right place - however the console
screen doesn't have any examples of where to put it.

https://code.google.com/apis/console/


Has anyone got a sample code, to show me exactly how to put the 'key'
in. & what do I do with the JSON file ?


PS :-

My goal is to let the user move the map to a place & the lat/longitude
appears in a FORM box below the map (not on the map itself).

I'll use the form box to add/edit a database with Lat/long codes.

I found a good example a few years ago of what i wanted, but Google
have changed the site a lot, & i can't find that example/demo page
