Thank you Rossko for all your assistance and speedy replies. You are a great leader and trouble-shooter. I found my problem and will post the answer just in case anyone else ever has a similar issue; since sitebuilder v4.2 does have the google map api widget in it. As it turns out; you need a domain to run sitebuilder from. In my case this was sitebuilder.blcmhost.net. The main installation of sitebuilder asks for you to get an api key prior to even having built out or published any sitebuilder sites. When you get that first key, it needs to be for the the main domain (or sub-domain) that the sitebuilder resides on. Again, in my case that was sitebuilder.blcmhost.net. I had a situation where after my installation of sitebuilder, we moved some sitebuilder sites from another host who neglected to fix a php problem for over a month that made page loads inconsistant.
Throughout the migration there were some copies of the previous, some license switching, and license switching back. When complete with the sb move my new host server thought it had the old host's sb, even though it now had my new license. I took for granted that my api key for my most recent sb, prior to the migration had stuck; but it had been replaced by the key generated for the other failing host. I went here--> http://download1.parallels.com/Sitebuilder/4.2.3/doc/admin/index.html?locale=en_US&article=/Admin/License&help_type=admin and clicked on "Setting Up Area Map Module" It clued me in to where to add the api key that is the main one for your whole sitebuilder buildout, from there you add keys individually on a per domain name basis from within sitebuilder's admin using the google api widget. In short, there are two keys for each site; one main one for all your sitebuilder sites (the place where sitebuilder resides ((sitebuilder.blcmhost.net in this case))) and then one for each individual site you create (westerncattletrail.net in this case) with it's own domain name. Thanks again and best of luck to each of you. This has been so impressive to use your group list serve and get such great and helpful responses.
