David,
I solved the problem by setting the http://127.0.0.1 default web domain to 
an alternative  virtual web domain.  In fact, because of the defaultness of 
the 127.0.0.1 domain, the sign up of the Google map key for a  localhost web 
site results always as an already assigned key, that inhibits the 
finalization of the Get Lat/Lng command.
I hope this my  experience, although trivial, could be useful for someone 
Google map key user.

Thank you for your kind answer.

Giuseppe
