Ok so window.location.host comes back as dev.ahsinternet.com this is the fake dns name I have created in my hosts file. This is the same thing I generated my key for - they are exactly the same (unless the http:// is counted when the key is generated....)
I am on displaying a map with a pointer on it to show where an geographical residential address is (ie 1234 very happy drive, Beverly hills, california, 90210) (I'm not sure if this counts as geocoding or not). There could be a few pointers, but baby steps for now. The problem is, I can't use the http://localhost as our server framework specifically needs a realistic domain (its a portal server framework, DNN, sitting on top of a server, and it reserves the localhost term for some specialized logging services).
