Troubleshooting

The map stays empty

Cause: The data cannot be loaded because the API key was not imported.

Solution: Import the b03f8aaf-1f32-4d9e-914a-9a50f904833d into the apikeys table. After importing it you may use the apikey manager to change it's options.

The map is not being displayed

Cause: The maps tiles cannot be loaded as the API key is missing.

Solution: Make sure the config contains the correct apikey.
