Hi - I have a below code. I am trying to add a map marker using OpenStreetMap with leaflet. I am not sure if I can write the below marker code without google.maps and use openStreetmap for the below code. I want to avoid using google maps because I am not going to buy Google API key and wanted to use something free to create a map with a marker as I am just learning to create a map project. `f

```auto
unction createMarker(latlng, name, address, index) {`
` var html = "<b>" + name + "</b> <br/>" + address;`
` var marker = new google.maps.Marker({`
` map: map,`
` position: latlng`
` });`

```

the above code gave error, Uncaught ReferenceError: google is not defined  
. then I defined to rectify that error. right now, the error is gone, but in the output, i dont see any marker in map and I get warning message asGoogle Maps JavaScript API warning: NoApiKeys. please suggest and direct me to go right to solve this one.

I am moving your thread to a more appropriate subforum. Please do not post in #support if you don’t need any help about the platform itself.

Hi, I apologize, I am new to this forum. I am not sure which subforum my thread is moved. I thought Javascript is under web development so I posted it here.

ok, but could you please let me know the link of my post that you moved to curriculum javascript. I tried searching for my post in this forum, but I am not able to see it in javascript forum. Thanks for the help.

It is not in the JavaScript subforum, it is in the Web Development subforum - as you can see by looking at the tag at the top of your post. 🙂
