Use your own Google key (optional)

StreetRoutes is free for everyone, using a shared daily allowance supported by ☕ tips. If you use it a lot, or today's shared allowance has run out, you can use your own Google Maps key instead. Your usage then goes on your own Google account (usually free within Google's monthly free amounts) and has no shared daily limit. Your key is saved only in this browser.

How to get a Google Maps key
  1. Open Google Cloud Console → Maps Platform and create a project (billing must be enabled).
  2. Enable Maps JavaScript API, Routes API and Places API (New).
  3. Go to Keys & Credentials → create an API key. Restrict it to those APIs and to .

With your own key, usage is billed to your Google account at Google's prices. Light use usually stays within Google's free monthly amounts.

About StreetRoutes

Rehearse any route in Street View before you go. StreetRoutes plays your drive or walk in real street photos, stops at every turn with sat-nav style guidance (turn arrows, lane hints, voice), and ends facing the entrance of your destination.

Who it helps

FAQ

Is this navigation?
No. StreetRoutes is a preview to watch before you travel. Never use it while driving.
Where do the images come from?
Google Street View and Google Maps. Some places (private roads, estates, some countries) have no street photos.
Why is it free?
Each route costs a little in Google Maps fees. StreetRoutes covers them with a small shared daily allowance, funded by ☕ tips on Ko-fi. Thank you!
"Today's free routes have run out"?
The shared allowance resets every day. Come back tomorrow, or use your own Google key (⚙).
Privacy
No accounts, no ads, no tracking. Addresses you type are sent (through StreetRoutes' server) to Google to find routes and places; StreetRoutes doesn't keep them. To prevent abuse, the server counts requests per visitor using an anonymous code that changes daily and is deleted after 2 days. Your settings (and your own key, if you add one) stay in this browser only. StreetRoutes uses Google Maps; see Google's Maps Terms and Privacy Policy.
