The Version 2 system used the referrer as well, but defaulted to "allow" where there wasn't one. In this case it would be helpful if the message was more explicit, because in your scenario the key is not wrong. I can't see the issue with using the referrer for the API. The referrer which is calling the API will always be the domain you're looking at and there should be nothing which identifies you, so there is no privacy issue. [The IP address could be used to identify you, but only with some difficulty] In fact, I'm not really sure what the privacy issue is at all. Why do you suppress the referrer header? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
