Marginally more accurately: api keys fully support subdomains, but neither of your two domains are subdomains of the other. They are two completely different domains: www.shreveportla.gov www.ci.shreveport.la.us They don't even share the same TLD, and as such will require separate keys, as stated by Wilcox. If your domains were actually www.shreveportla.gov and www.ci.shreveportla.gov, of course, you *could* in fact use just one key, which would need to be registered for shreveportla.gov. -G --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
