I've got my key in the right place. The example sjhows a key 2-3 lines
long, but the console area is only giving me a short key (& yes, i
double checked)

As yet, I've not uploaded the JSON file, (but i can't remember where I
had to d/load it from anyway).

I'll read it tomorrow, but I think what I'm after, can be done & not
breach any terms. I'll ask on the above group when I join.

Basically allow several nominated people to update a database of
points / locations, & it gets saved in database - & then later, when
the map is redisplayed to the viewer, it extracts the database etc &
obtains all the points.

(Instead of me manually typing in all the lat/long points by hand into
the database..)

PS these lat/long points are not already compiled in a public database
