This if i use the example without modification
If instead of gmap.Initialize("gmap", options) i use gmap.Initialize2("gmap", options,"AIzaSyAGA0N1D............") the same error appear
What can i try to resolve this problem ?

you have the same issue as I had earlier today.

you'll need to create and use the api key

some blahblah can be found here > https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/solved-jgooglemaps-lib-not-working-100.122094/

No, the api key is correct
I believe I am using the correct key because this example Gogle Maps B4A example with the same key, works correctly

Android Google Maps and jGoogleMaps uses another API.
Make sure to have enabled both APIs.

There are really many different Google Maps APIs that you can enable
Which exactly do you need for Android Google Maps and which for jGoogleMaps?

 

[DonManfred]

i don´t use jgooglemaps. You need to check the library thread for any info which Api exactly is needed.

I would say
"Google Maps SDK for Android" for B4A and
"Maps Javascript Api" for B4J

I discovered problem, it was the api key
I was using an api key that with example for Android worked correctly, obviously for use with the jGoogleMaps library you need another key or you need to enable other api on the Google account
I tried using an alternative api key and now it works fine
