The api key is enable using a separate page. Seems a cack handed way of doing it but it did work.
I changed the V2.x to V2 as you suggested, no difference. I inserted the api script into the template, which didn't stop the error message appearing but did load the map. So the key works. I looked into what the Plugin in was doing and it appears the api key was set for 'multiple' not 'single', which once corrected seems to have resolved the issue. Thanks for your help and maybe this will be useful to other users of the Google maps plugin for Joomla!
