+    Before you run your application, you need a Google Maps API key.
+
+    To get one, follow this link, follow the directions and press "Create" at the end:

+
+    You can also add your credentials to an existing key, using these values:
+
+    Package name:
+    08:07:B8:EC:7B:1E:00:82:29:24:A8:08:A6:AD:84:76:1C:D2:69:1A

+
+    Alternatively, follow the directions here:
+    https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/start#get-key
+
+    Once you have your key (it starts with "AIza"), replace the "google_maps_key"
