Error in get_map using ggmap in R


The problem is likely related to your API project not being authorized by Google.

An API project is easy to create, and get authorized:
Click this link and choose create. Alternatively choose select if you already have a created project, but just need to activate the API.After that choose "Enable".After that your code should work.

The 403 error is because Google now requires users to register for and use a (free) api key.


The "zoom = 4" is, per documentation, "reserved for google business users only." I can't find much documented on why this would work intermittently or at all for a non-business user, but that's my best guess.
